Simple Past tense

• We use the past simple to talk about actions and situations that started and finished in the past.
• To form the past simple of REGULAR verbs, we add -ed to the verb. Be careful of the spelling changes:

walk - walked       arrive - arrived       stop - stopped       try - tried

• Some verbs do not form the past simple with -ed. They are IRREGULAR:

go - went       buy - bought        meet - met

• We often use these time expresions with the past simple: yesterday, last night/ week / weekend / month / year, two hours / days / weeks / months / years ago, in 2002 / April.
• We can also use when + subject + verb in the simple past:

I met him when I was in London.       When I was five, we moved to Brighton.
