practice

We do not double the final consonant when the verb ends in W or X.mix- mixedsnow- snowed

If the verb ends in a consonant + -y, drop the -y and add -ied.study - studiedcry - cried

If the verb ends with a vowel plus -l ,then you need to double the l before adding -ed in British English:travel - travelledquarrel - quarrelled.(This rule doesn’t apply in American English)

If the verb ends in a vowel + -y, keep the -y and add -ed.play - playedenjoy - enjoyed

like - likedignore- ignoredimagine - imagined

For regular verbs, add -ed to the root form of the verb (or just -d if the root form already ends in an e): walk - walkedcall - calledwash - washed

If the first syllable of a two-syllable verb is stressed, do not double the last consonantvisit- visitedlisten - listened

If the verb ends in a consonant-vowel-consonant double the consonant to make the -ed form.stop - stoppedplan - planned

If the second syllable of a two-syllable verb is stressed, double the last consonant.prefer- preferredadmit - admitted

Use

The Simple Past can also be used in sentences that describe past habits. These sentences have the same purpose as the expression ‘used to’. It should be clear in this kind of sentence that the action referred to is a habit. Time expressions like always, often, usually and never can be used to underline this.e.g.I often played football when I was a young man.

The Simple Past is used to describe actions which happened one after the other e.g.I finished work, walked to the beach and met my friends.

The Simple Past is used for actions that started and finished at a specific time in the past. It’s also possible to use the simple past in a sentence without specifying a time, but it must have previously been made clear that the speaker is referring to a finished period.e.g.I saw a movie last week.

The Past Simple Tense is used to refer to actions that were completed in a time period before the present time. In the Simple Past the process of performing the action is not important. What matters is that the action was completed in the past. The action may have been in the recent past or a long time ago.

For the verb to be, you don’t need the auxiliary did. When the subject of the sentence is singular, use was/was not or wasn’t. When the subject is plural, use were/ were not or weren’t.
