HOW TO FORMULATE SIMPLE PAST TENSE
we can use the following formula to make a simple past tense verb.
SUBJECT + PAST FORM OF THE VERB + OBJECT
It is important to learn how to make the base form into past form. In English language we have two kinds of verbs.
- Regular verbs
- Irregular verbs
Regular Verbs
Regular verbs do not modify their stem when they are conjugated. We generally add "ed" or "d" to make them past or past participle form. Accordingly both past participle and the past form of the regular verbs are the same. All of the ways are mentioned as follows.
The followings are some of the examples for regular verbs.
POSITIVE FORM
Subject + past form of the verb + object
Ex;- - I talked to my best friend yesterday.
- J.K Rowling wrote Harry Potter.
- My mother cooked a delicious meal two hours ago.
- Richard drank two bottles of water last day.
- A large truck came around the corner.
