Past Tense verbs


Past Tense
  1. Regular verbs

To change a regular verb into its past tense form, we normally add "ed" to the end of the verb. Examples:
  • Watch-watched
  • Play-played
  • Travel-traveled
  • Walk-walked
  • Kiss-kissed
-Yesterday I watched a romantic movie.
-Last night Johan played football in the park.
-My family traveled the last weekend.
-I walked in the street every day.
-My boyfriend kissed me yesterday.

     2. Negative form in the Past Tense

We use "did not" or "didn´t" to say than a sentence is negative in the past tense. The only difference between a negative sentence in the present tense and a negative sentence in the past tense is the change in the auxiliary verb (do not/don´t). Examples:

  • We didn´t eat pizza yesterday
  • I didn´t  watch a TV program last night
  • Rebeca didn´t  play basketball last weekend
  • Iván didn´t  travel to New York last year
  • Yuriko didn´t kiss her boyfriend yesterday
     3. Questions in the past tense

We use "did" to make a question in the past tense. This is for regular and irregular verbs. The only difference between a question in the present tense and a question in the past tense is the change in the auxiliary verb (Do and does). We also use some questions words to complete the question before "did". Examples: 
  • Did we eat pizza yesterday?
  • Did I watch a TV program last night?
  • What did you play?
  • Where did she travel?
