moment)
Expressing a
sentence in Past Simple means that the action is unrelated to the present. It
is also possible to indicate the time when the action is to indicate the time
more accurately.
In order to form a sentence in past tense we
must know the two types: regular verbs and irregular verbs. In the first case
are the Simple Past ED adding the ending to the infinitive, while the
irregulars are so called not to follow a particular pattern and in this case
must be studied individually. Normally we use adverbs of time to support the
sentence as: Yesterday, Last week, Last year, Last night, Last month, etc.
If the verb ends
in consonant + y and becomes the i to form the past; If the verb ends in e is
added only d.
Use the Simple
Past to express the idea that an action started and finished at a specific time
in the past. Sometimes, the speaker may not actually mention the specific time,
but they do have one specific time in mind.
The Simple Past
can be used with a duration which starts and stops in the past. A duration is a
longer action often indicated by expressions such as: for two years, for five
minutes, all day, all year, etc.
In these
sentences there is no information on the present
it can also
express an action in the past taking place once, never, several times. It can
also be used for actions taking place one after another or in the middle of
another action.
Uses of Simple
Past
action in the
past taking place once, never or several times
Example: He
visited his parents every weekend.
actions in the
past taking place one after the other
Example: He came
in, took off his coat and sat down.
action in the
past taking place in the middle of another action
Example: When I
was having breakfast, the phone suddenly rang.
if sentences
type II (If I talked, …)
Example: If I
had a lot of money, I would share it with you.
The sentence structure is similar to the
present, using the main verb in its past form.
Pronounce the
ending "-ed" differently depending on the letter that goes to the end
of the infinitive. In general the "e" is silent.
Note: There are
many irregular verbs in English. Unfortunately, there are no set rules to make
them. Then you have the three most common irregular verbs that act as auxiliary
verbs.
Note: As in
negative sentences, the auxiliary verb is in the past ("did") and the
main verb remains in the infinitive.
Past tense examples:
In a conversation:
- - Hi did you go to the party yesterday?
- - yes I did
- - That’s great and did you go with mike?
- - Yes I did, and then we went to dinner
Sentences:
I went to the cinema
I worked very long hours
She washed her car
