Past Simple

The simple past is used to describe an action that occurred and was completed in the past. The simple past is formed by adding –ed to the base form of the verb.

In Affirmative sentences

SUBJECT+ VERB IN THE PAST+ OBJECT

Susan                watched                     a film last night.

Spelling Rules Regular verbs.

1. Regular verbs take /-ed/ in the simple past.
   Example:
   visit=visited
2. Regular verbs ending in  e take /-d/ in the simple past:
   Example:
   close=closed
3. Regular verbs ending in a vowel + y take /-ed/ in the simple past:
   Example:
   play=played
4. Regular verbs ending in a consonant + y take /-ied/ in the simple past (the ' y' becomes an ' i' followed by /-ed/)
   Example:
   marry=married
5. If there is a consonant after a stressed vowel at the end of the word, double the consonant                               
6. stop – stopped
7. ban - banned
8. swap - swapped 

6. If the vowel is not stressed, we do not double it:

1. open - opened (Here the stress is on'o', not the 'e'.)
   offer - offered ( Here the stress is on 'o', not the 'e'.)




In British English we double the last 'l' of words like travel, cancel and level even though the last vowel is not stressed. Here are some examples:

• travel - travelled
• cancel - cancelled
• level - levelled
• marvel - marvelled

 Now, let's practise
