Imagine someone asks you what your brother Wolfgang did while he was in town last weekend.

Wolfgang entered a hula hoop contest.
He won the silver medal.

How to form the simple past
For regular verbs, add –ed to the root form of the verb (or just –d if the root form ends in an e):

Play→Played
Type→Typed
Listen→Listened
Push→Pushed
Love→Loved

For irregular verbs, things get more complicated. The simple past tense of some irregular verbs looks exactly like the root form:

Put→Put
Cut→Cut
Set→Set
Cost→Cost
Hit→Hit

Some of the most common modifiers are:

  • a bit to refer to a small portion or degree;
  • a little to refer to small in size;
  • a lot to refer to a large number/amount;
  • far to refer to a considerable degree;
  • much to refer to great in degree;
  • not much to refer to not great in degree;
  • rather to refer to a certain extent;
  • slightly to refer to in small measure.

For example:
— “That red skirt is slightly tighter than the black one.” = Slightly is used to indicate that there is a small difference between the two skirts.
— “This emergency exit is much larger than the one at the hospital.” = Much is used to indicate that there is a big difference between the two exits.
♦ “This emergency exit is larger than the one at the hospital.” = The meaning does not change that much with just the comparative form, but there is no intensity on how big the difference between the two exits is.

 refers to general truths, such as scientific facts. This conditional is used when the result will always happen.The 'if' in this conditional can usually be replaced by 'when' without changing the meaning.
If water reaches 100 degrees, it boils. (It is always true, there can't be a different result sometimes).
