(The exception is the Past tense of To Be, which has two forms: was and were) This is totally different from other languages such as Spanish, French, Italian etc. where you change the verb ending for every subject. For example: The past tense of the verb want is wanted. Wanted is used as the past tense for all subjects/pronouns. I wanted You wanted He wanted She wanted It wanted We wanted They wanted study? – I studied at the library. Present: They don't live in Canada. Past: They didn't live in Canada. Do the ex.7.8 Ex.9.10 p.16,17 5- 4- 3- 2- Thank you for the lesson , good bye! | So you just have to learn one word to be able to use it in the past tense. In this case we just needed to learn the one word wanted which can be used for all subjects (or people). Past Tense Regular Verbs To change a regular verb into its past tense form, we normally add –ED to the end of the verb. play – played cook – cooked rain – rained wait – waited There are some exceptions with a slight change in spelling which you can see here: Spelling of words ending in ED. Negative sentences in the Past Tense We use didn't (did not) to make a negative sentence in the past tense. This is for regular AND irregular verbs in English. Examples of negative sentences in the Past Tense I didn't want to go to the dentist. She didn't have time. You didn't close the door. He didn't come to my party. They didn't study so they didn't pass the test. We didn't sleep well last night. | M/C1,2,3 S/C 1,2,3 M/C1,2,3 S/C 1,2,3 | Pair.m Gr.m Group/m. Pair.m. Ind/m Pair.m Ind/m |
