6th Grade- IRREGULAR VERBS : Forming Past Simple Tense

FORMING PAST SIMPLE TENSE 


These are some rules to make affirmative, negative and interrogative sentences in the simple past tense in English language that you should know.

The auxiliary verb "to do" is conjugated in the past tense as follows: 

I  DID

YOU  DID

HE / SHE / IT  DID

WE  DID

YOU  DID

THEY  DID

Remember: All verbs are conjugated for all the personal pronouns subjects in the same way in the past simple tense, but there is an exception with the verb "to Be".It changes in the first and third persons of singular. 

I ,He ,She ,It        WAS

We, You, They   WERE

 

AFFIRMATIVE SENTENCES

SUBJECT + PAST SIMPLE+ COMPLEMENTS

Example:

"You came home last night"

 

NEGATIVE SENTENCES

SUBJECT + DIDN´T +verb infinitive+ COMPLEMENTS

Example:
You didn´t come home last night.

 

INTERROGATIVE SENTENCES

DID + SUBJECT + verb infinitive + COMPLEMENTS   ?

Example:
Did you come home last night?

 

SHORT ANSWERS

Yes, SUBJECT + did

No, SUBJECT + didn´t

Example:

Yes, I did
No, she didn´t

Forming Past Simple Tense :

Past simple – regular verbs


The past simple is the most common way of talking about past events or states which have finished. It is often used with past time references (e.g. yesterday, two years ago).

Please explain past events or states!

A past event could be one thing that happened in the past, or a repeated thing.

stopped at a zebra crossing.
We carried on with the test.
We played tennis every day in August.

A state is a situation without an action happening.

We stayed at my grandparents' house last summer.

How do you form the past simple?

Regular past simple forms are formed by adding -ed to the infinitive of the verb.

start → started
kill  killed
jump  jumped

That seems easy!  

Yes, but there are some spelling rules. If a verb ends in -e, you add -d.

agree  agreed
like 
 liked
escape 
 escaped

If a verb ends in a vowel and a consonant, the consonant is usually doubled before -ed.

stop  stopped
plan 
 planned

If a verb ends in consonant and -y, you take off the y and add -ied.

try  tried
carry 
 carried        

But if the word ends in a vowel and -y, you add -ed.

play  played
enjoy 
 enjoyed

OK, not quite so easy! But the past simple form doesn't change at all for I, you, he, she, we and they, does it?

No, the form doesn't change. See, it is easy!

What about the pronunciation of the -ed ending?

There are three kinds of pronunciation: /d/, /t/ and /ɪd/. Look at the table below.

/d//t//ɪd/
arrivedaskedwanted
failedcrosseddecided
agreedstoppedstarted

Aaagh! How do I know how to pronounce each one?

Good question. Well, really all you need to know is that /d/ is easier to say after arrive, and /t/ is easier to say after ask. For /ɪd/, the infinitive ends in a /d/ or a /t/ sound already so you must add an extra syllable for these verbs.

All right, that makes sense, but how do you form questions and negatives?

With the verb did (do in the past) + the infinitive.

Did you pass?
You didn't fail, did you?
Yes, I did. / No, I didn't.

Right, thanks, I've got it now!

Good. But you also need to learn the irregular past simple forms.

You mean there are verbs that don't end in -ed in the past?

Yes, they don't all end in -ed. Have a look at the past simple irregular verbs too.

5th grade : HOW OFTEN DO YOU ... ?

HOW OFTEN DO YOU ... ? HOW OFTEN DOES YOUR FRIEND ... ?

We use some adverbs to describe how frequently we do an activity. These are called adverbs of frequency .


FrequencyAdverb of FrequencyExample Sentence
100%always I always go to bed before 11pm.
90%usuallyI usually have cereal for breakfast.
80%normally / generallyI normally go to the gym.
70%often* / frequentlyI often surf the internet.
50%sometimesI sometimes forget my wife's birthday.
30%occasionallyI occasionally eat junk food.
10%seldomI seldom read the newspaper.
5%hardly ever / rarelyI hardly ever drink alcohol.
0%never I never swim in the sea.
* Some people pronounce the 'T' in often but many others do not.

The Position of the Adverb in a Sentence

An adverb of frequency goes before a main verb (except with To Be).
Subject + adverb + main verb
I always remember to do my homework.
He normally gets good marks in exams.

An adverb of frequency goes after the verb To Be.
Subject + to be + adverb
They are never pleased to see me.
She isn't usually bad tempered.

We can also use the following adverbs at the beginning of a sentence:
Usually, normally, often, frequently, sometimes, occasionally
  • Occasionally, I like to eat Thai food.
BUT we cannot use the following at the beginning of a sentence:
Always, seldom, rarely, hardly, ever, never.

We use hardly ever and never with positive, not negative verbs:
  • She hardly ever comes to my parties.
  • They never say 'thank you ^.
