Past tense.

 Last time, we learned about action verb and verb to be. Now, what if we want to use the verb if we want to talk about the past?

Past tense

Time is very important in the English language. We use present tense to talk about things that we do routinely (always do) and something that is currently happening.

However, if we want to talk about what happened in the past, we may have to slightly change the action words.

Sometimes, we add -d, -ed, or -ied. For example:

smile -> smiled look -> looked cry -> cried (transform the letter 'y' in the word 'cry' into 'i')

Sometimes, we change the word altogether. For example:

is -> was  are -> were    gets -> got  go -> went

When we use a past tense verb, we don't need to add an 's' to a singular verb. For instance:

_________________________________________________

He picks up the pencil on the table. 

He picked up the pencil on the table yesterday.

_________________________________________________

Here's a video that sums it up:
