$LESSON 1C: The Simple Past
# Source: ST Lesson 1 grammar (rewritten talk-through)
$GRAMMAR The Simple Past Tense
In English, when something happened **yesterday** — and it's finished — the verb changes: you add **-ed**.
*We walk to class every day.* → *We **walked** to class **yesterday**.*
That's the whole trick for regular verbs:
* {play} + ed = {played}
* {walk} + ed = {walked}
* {study} + ed = {studied}
If the verb already ends in **-e**, just add **-d**: {close} → {closed}.
One thing to **listen** for: *-ed* doesn't always sound like "ed". There are three sounds:
* **/d/** — soft, like in {played}, {cleaned}, {lived}, {studied}
* **/t/** — sharp, like in {walked}, {cooked}, {liked}, {watched}
* **/ɪd/** — an extra syllable, like in {wanted}, {started}, {visited}, {ended}
The /ɪd/ group is easy to spot: it's the verbs that already end in a **t** or **d** sound. You'll practice all three sounds next.

$LESSON 1D: Didn't and Did You?
# Source: ST Lesson 1 grammar (rewritten talk-through)
$GRAMMAR Not in the Past: didn't
How do you say that something did NOT happen? Use **did not** — or its short form, **didn't** — and then the verb in its **base form**:
*Jack played baseball yesterday.* → *He {didn't play} tennis.*
Notice what happened to the verb: it went back to **play**, not *played*. The word **did** already carries the past — so the main verb doesn't need -ed anymore.
The most common mistake: ~~He didn't played soccer~~. One past marker is enough: *He {didn't play} soccer.*
In writing, {did not} and {didn't} mean the same thing — *didn't* is just more relaxed and much more common in speech.
# Source: ST Lesson 1 "You Didn't Answer My Question"
$DIALOGUE Negative Sentences
INTRO: Listen and repeat these negative statements. Notice that the verb after "didn't" has no E D ending.
INSTRUCTION: Repeat each sentence.
REPEAT
LINE: Tom didn't clean his room last Saturday.
LINE: Linda did not cook dinner last night.
LINE: George didn't play basketball yesterday.
LINE: They did not like Chicago.
LINE: He didn't shave this morning.
# Source: ST Lesson 1 negative drill
$PRODUCE Make Negative Statements
INTRO: Remember: didn't plus the base verb. Read the sentence and the cue, then say a negative statement. Listen to the correct answer.
INSTRUCTION: Make a negative statement using the cue.
INPUT: speak
CHECK: reveal
EXAMPLE
TEMPLATE: My brother visited Dallas. (Houston)
RESPONSE: He didn't visit Houston.
TEMPLATE: Joan played tennis yesterday. (soccer)
RESPONSE: She didn't play soccer.
TEMPLATE: Sally cooked chicken for dinner yesterday. (beef)
RESPONSE: She didn't cook beef.
TEMPLATE: Jack lived in Chicago two years ago. (New York)
RESPONSE: He didn't live in New York.
TEMPLATE: My English class started at 7:15 this morning. (7:30)
RESPONSE: It didn't start at 7:30.
TEMPLATE: Frank cleaned his car last week. (this week)
RESPONSE: He didn't clean his car this week.
TEMPLATE: Mark visited New York City last month. (Los Angeles)
RESPONSE: He didn't visit Los Angeles.

RESPONSE: He didn't learn Arabic.
TEMPLATE: Dan shaved last night. (this morning)
RESPONSE: He didn't shave this morning.
# Source: ST Lesson 1 grammar (rewritten talk-through)
$GRAMMAR Asking About the Past: Did you...?
To ask a yes/no question about the past, start with **Did**, then the subject, then the verb in its **base form**:
*The show {started} at 8:00.* → *{Did} the show {start} at 8:00?*
Same rule as with *didn't*: the word **did** carries the past, so the main verb loses its -ed. ~~Did the show started?~~ is the classic mistake — it's *Did the show **start**?*
To answer, English speakers usually keep it short:
* {Yes, it did.} — instead of repeating "Yes, the show started at 8:00."
* {No, it didn't.} — instead of "No, the show didn't start at 8:00."
You'll practice asking the questions first, then giving short answers.
