2.2. The simple past tense – the past perfect
- The simple past tense is a way to express ourselves based on the activities that happened in the past and all the complete actions that we did.
- It is very important to remember that simple past tense is different when we use the regular verbs and when we use the irregular verbs.
- In affirmative form with regular verbs we must use the ending “ed” to the verbs, But if a verb ends in vowel “e”; we just add “d”
- In negative form with regular verbs we must use the auxiliary (did not) or was not- were not with verb to-be
- In interrogative form; we use the Wh question (when necessary) before the auxiliary “Did”
- In affirmative form with the use of irregular verbs we must use the (simple past) form of the verb.
- The negative and interrogative form is the same rule for regular ones.
