For example, "I was tired after the long hike" is a sentence in the past tense of the verb "to be".

• I was happy to spend time at the beach.

• She was excited to see the famous landmarks.

• We were tired after the long flight.

Subjunctive: The subjunctive mood is used to express hypothetical or uncertain situations, wishes, suggestions, or orders. In the past tense, the subjunctive form is the same as the simple past tense for all verbs, regardless of the subject. 

For example, "Sarah wished she were a famous singer." In this sentence, "wished" indicates a desire or a hypothetical situation. 

The verb "were" is used in the past subjunctive form instead of "was." The past subjunctive form of the verb "to be" in the third-person singular is "were," regardless of the subject. So, even though Sarah is a singular third-person subject, we use "were" in the past subjunctive.

• Simple past: The simple past tense is used to describe a completed action that happened in the past. It is formed by adding -ed to the base form of regular verbs, while irregular verbs have their own unique past tense forms. For example, "I walked to the store yesterday" is a sentence in the simple past tense.

• I went to Hawaii last year.

• She visited Paris with her friends.

• They hiked in the mountains for two days.

• Questions with did: Questions with did are formed by using the auxiliary verb "did" before the base form of the main verb. They are used to ask yes/no questions or to ask about a specific time or event in the past. For example, "Did you go to the beach yesterday?" is a question with did.

• Did you go on vacation this summer?

• Did he try any new water sports?

• Did they stay in a hotel or an Airbnb?

• Short answers: Short answers are used to respond to questions with a simple "yes" or "no" answer. They are formed by using the auxiliary verb or a form of the verb "to be" in combination with "yes" or "no". For example, in response to the question "Did you go to the beach yesterday?" a short answer would be "Yes, I did" or "No, I didn't".

• Yes, I did.

• No, he didn't.

• Yes, they stayed in a hotel.

1. Regular Verbs:

   • Go (base form) → Went (past tense)

   • Verbs ending in a consonant + "y": Change the "y" to "i" and add "-ed."
     • Example: Carry → Carried
4. Verbs ending in "-ed":
   Some verbs already end in something like an "-ed" in their base form. These verbs remain the same in the past tense.
   • Example: Hurt (base form) → Hurt (past tense)
   • 
     
5. Modal Verbs:
   Modal verbs, such as "can," "could," "will," "would," "shall," "should," "may," "might," and "must," do not change their forms to indicate past tense. They are always the same regardless of the time frame.
   • Example: She can swim. (Present) / She could swim. (Past)
6. Helping Verbs:
   Helping verbs, like "am," "is," "are," "was," and "were," also do not change their forms to indicate past tense. They are used in conjunction with the main verb to form verb tenses.
