$LESSON 1-3: The Simple Past Tense

# Source: ST §Simple Past Tense
$GRAMMAR Simple Past Tense
INTRO: Let's see how to talk about things that already happened — the simple past tense.

When an action is finished and in the past, we usually add **-ed** to the verb:

| | |
|---|---|
| SIMPLE PRESENT: | We {walk} to class every day. |
| **SIMPLE PAST:** | **We {walked} to class yesterday.** |
| SIMPLE PRESENT: | He {walks} to class every day. |
| **SIMPLE PAST:** | **He {walked} to class yesterday.** |

**1. Spelling: verb + -ed = simple past**

* {play} + ed = {played}
* {walk} + ed = {walked}
* {close} + d = {closed}
* {study} + ed = {studied}

**2. Pronunciation of -ed** — the ending sounds three different ways:

* **GROUP I (/d/):** {answered}, {circled}, {cleaned}, {closed}, {learned}, {listened}, {lived}, {memorized}, {opened}, {played}, {reviewed}, {shaved}, {spelled}, {studied}
* **GROUP II (/t/):** {asked}, {checked}, {cooked}, {liked}, {looked}, {looked up}, {marked}, {talked}, {walked}, {watched}, {worked}
* **GROUP III (/Id/):** {corrected}, {ended}, {repeated}, {selected}, {started}, {visited}, {wanted}
