Simple Past: Regular verbs

Brief description

Simple past of regular verbs

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 (the infinitive without to).

Simple Conjugation

In English, the simple past of regular verbs is extremely easy. It is the same for all persons. 

Here are example sentences of the simple past with the verb WORK.

 Singular- 1st person: I worked yesterday. - 2nd person: You worked yesterday. - 3rd person : He, She, It worked yesterday. Plural1st person: We worked yesterday.2nd person: You worked yesterday.3rd person: They worked yesterday.

Pronunciation

Pronunciation differences

Despite of the diferences when writting, we also have some differences when pronouncing regular verbs in English.

There are three different ways to pronunce "ED" endings, and they depend basically from the last letter of the base form of the verb.

In order to have a better understanding, let´s observe the image!

Pronunciation II

How should we pronounce the verbs?

Well that depends from the endings in the written form as we previously saw.For instance:ID: visited, started, painted, needed, etc. (They end with T or D in the written form)T: worked, watch, washed, finished, fixed, dropped, kissed, and so on. (some of their endings are K, SS, SH, CH, P, etc) D: closed, called, tired, played, and others. (some of their endings are S, B, LL, M, N, W...)
