Last weekend, my friend and I ate dinner at this great new Italian restaurant downtown. The problem was, when the bill came, my friend didn't have enough money to pay for her meal. She asked me if she could borrow some money. That's when I realized that my wallet was missing! I guess I left it at home. So I called my mother on my cell phone and asked her to bring my wallet to the restaurant. While we were waiting for my mother, the waiter asked us to pay the bill. I didn't want him to know we didn't have enough money, so I ordered more food. Finally, my mother arrived with my wallet and we paid the bill. After all that food, the bill was really high!

The past simple is the most common way of talking about past events or states which have finished. It is often used with past time references (e.g. yesterday, two years ago).
Please explain past events or states!

A past event could be one thing that happened in the past, or a repeated thing.
I stopped at a zebra crossing.
Wecarried on with the test.
Weplayed tennis every day in August.
A state is a situation without an action happening.
We stayed at my grandparents' house last summer.
How do you form the past simple?

Regular past simple forms are formed by adding - ed to the infinitive of the verb.

Yes, but there are some spelling rules. If a verb ends in - e, you add - d.

If a verb ends in a vowel and a consonant, the consonant is usually doubled before - ed.

If a verb ends in consonant and - y, you take off the y and add - ied.

But if the word ends in a vowel and - y, you add - ed.

OK, not quite so easy! But the past simple form doesn't change at all for I, you, he, she, we and they, does it?

No, the form doesn't change. See, it is easy!

What about the pronunciation of the - ed ending?

There are three kinds of pronunciation: /d/, /t/ and /ɪd/. Look at the table below.

Aaagh! How do I know how to pronounce each one?

Good question. Well, really all you need to know is that /d/ is easier to say after arrive, and /t/ is easier to say after ask. For /ɪd/, the infinitive ends in a /d/ or a /t/ sound already so you must add an extra syllable for these verbs.

All right, that makes sense, but how do you form questions and negatives?

With the verb did (do in the past) + the infinitive.

Right, thanks, I've got it now!

Good. But you also need to learn the irregular past simple forms.

You mean there are verbs that don't end in - ed in the past?
