$\color{Orange}{❍Definition}$

The Simple Past is used to express an action ,that took place in the past tense.

E.g.

1. I saw an elephant yesterday.
2. My mother took us to a circus.
3. Who invented the television?
4. Who did not attend our cousin wedding

$\color{coral}{❍ Important rules for forming Past Tense}$

You usually form the Simple Past Tense by adding $\color{hotpink}{ed}$ to the verb.

E.g. cross + $\color{hotpink}{ed}$ => Crossed

Jump+$\color{hotpink}{ed}$=>Jumped

Walk + $\color{hotpink}{ed}$=> Walked

If the verb ends with - e you just add $\color{purple}{d}$

E.g. Agree + $\color{purple}{d}$ => Agreed

Die + $\color{purple}{d}$=> Died

Hate + $\color{purple}{d}$=>Hated

You have to $\color{teal}{double the last letter verbs before you add}$ $\color{orchid}{ed}$

E.g. Drum + $\color{orchid}{ed}$ => Drummed

Nod + $\color{orchid}{ed}$ => Nodded

Pat + $\color{orchid}{ed}$ =>Patted

❍The above verbs are one syllable verb they end with a consonant and one vowel before the constant.

If the verb ends in $\color{teal}{y}$ , you change the $\color{crimson}{y to i}$ before adding $\color{teal}{y}$

E.g. Carry + $\color{teal}{i}$ + $\color{crimson}{ed}$=> Carried

Hurry + $\color{teal}{i}$ + $\color{crimson}{ed}$=> Hurried

Try + $\color{teal}{i}$ + $\color{crimson}{ed}$ => Tried

The simple past tense form some verbs does not end in - $\color{blue}{ed or - d}$ . Such verbs are called $\color{teal}{irregular. verbs }$

E.g. $\color{springgreen}{Sell - sold}$

$\color{springgreen}{Buy - Bought}$

❍The Simple Tense is changed into past tense by changing the vowel in the body of the Present Tense.
