Can you see now how we form the past simple with regular verbs?

.

3.- Past Simple (regular verbs)

.

.

To form the past simple with regular verbs, it is quite simple! As you have seen, all you have to do is take the infinitive of the verb and add – ed. For example, walk – walked. If the infinitive ends in ‘e’, for example, believe, you only have to add ‘d’ – believe – believed.

3.a. Fill in the gaps with the correct form of the verb in brackets.

.

We use the past simple when we want to talk about something that we have done in the past and which has finished. For example, ‘yesterday I watched a film’ (I finished watching the film yesterday). The action is complete.

We usually use time expressions when we use the past simple, for example, yesterday, last week, etc.
