INTRO: Here's the heart of the lesson: saying what happened yesterday. These verbs don't take -ed — they change completely.

When something happened **yesterday** and it's finished, use the simple past. Many verbs just add **-ed** — but this lesson's verbs are **irregular**: the whole word changes.

| | |
|---|---|
| **SIMPLE PRESENT:** | We drive to work every day. |
| **SIMPLE PAST:** | **We drove to work yesterday.** |
| | |
| **SIMPLE PRESENT:** | **He drives to work every day.** |
| **SIMPLE PAST:** | **He drove to work yesterday.** |

{We drive to work every day.} → {We drove to work yesterday.}

And the past form is the same for every subject — no -s, no -ed: {He drives to work every day.} → {He drove to work yesterday.}
