simple past tense www.globalcitizen.co.uk

At 6 o’clock this morning What is the past? Yesterday At 6 o’clock this morning A long time ago Just after I got up When I was 4 years old Last year In January 2008

Things to remember… Normally… We add ‘ed’ to verbs when we talk about the past. We add ‘d’ to verbs ending in ‘e’. A verb is an action word. A ‘doing’ word.

If there is an ‘e’ already, there is no need to add another one. Remember: jumped danced played Add ‘ed’ or just add ‘d’ If there is an ‘e’ already, there is no need to add another one.
