Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Past Simple Tense: A verb tense used to describe actions that happened and were completed at a specific point in the past.
  • Regular Verbs: Verbs that form the past simple by adding "-ed" to the base form (e.g., "walk" β†’ "walked").
  • Irregular Verbs: Verbs that do not follow a standard pattern; their past forms must be memorized (e.g., "go" β†’ "went").
  • Affirmative Form: Subject + past tense verb (e.g., "She visited her grandmother").
  • Negative Form: Subject + did not (didn't) + base verb (e.g., "They didn't go to the park").
  • Interrogative Form: Did + subject + base verb? (e.g., "Did you see that movie?")
