When do we use the past tense?
pastpastfuturefuture
• We use the past tense to talk about something that is finished
• We use time words: yesterday, two months ago, last year, this morning……… Can you think of some more?
Present tense

We learned about 3 kinds of past tense verbs
1.Regular verbs
• Add -ed to the end of the verb
• Remember the spelling rules

2. Irregular verbs
Irregular verbs don’t have –ed. The word changes. You need to MEMORIZE the irregular verbs in English. Example : eat -> ate
BRAINSTORM!!

3. To be verbs
• We use the verbs was and were with a noun phrase = place, person, thing, animal
Example: It was a tiger.
an adjective phrase = describes something or someone
Example: She was beautiful.

Negative sentences
Use didn’t with regular verbsExample: She didn’t go to the movie with me.
