Past Simple with regular verbs. Based on Surprise 6 Unit 4 (Oxford Univ Press). � AFFIRMATIVE. � We turn a sentence into Past Simple adding -ed at the end of the verb in infinitive. � For example: � Present Past Walk Walked Like Liked I walk home I walked home � NEGATIVE � For writing a negative sentence in past, we use the auxiliary in past tense. � Present Past don't / doesn't didn't You don't like it. You didn't like it She doesn't talk She didn't talk � � Notice that in negative sentences in past simple, when using didn't, we don't need to ad the ED at the end of the verb: � We didn't watched TV. -> We didn't watch TV. � INTERROGATIVE � For writing an interrogative sentence in past simple, we also use the auxiliary in past tense. � Present Past Do / Does Did Do you like it? Did you like it? Does she use the computer? Did she use the computer? � � Notice that in�interrogative sentences in past simple, when using Did, we don't need to ad the ED at the end of the verb: � Did you walked home?� - > Did you walk home? � � This rule aplies for the REGULAR verbs. Some other verbs (not many) are irregular and they turn into past in a different irregular way, without a clear rule to be followed. � � 1.
