Grammar Lesson

The Past Simple

We use the past simple whenever we want to talk about the past and we don't have any special situation that means we should use the past perfect, present perfect, past continuous etc.
Here's when we use it:
Finished events in the past with no connection to the present:
Leonardo painted the Mona Lisa. The Vikings invaded Britain.
With a finished time word (yesterday, last week, last month,last year,last.., in 2003, ago):
I went to the cinema yesterday. We visited Japan in 2007.
For stories / lists of events:
He went to a café, sat down and lit a cigarette. Yesterday I went to the library, met a friend for lunch, and played tennis.
Details of news:
I've hurt my leg. I fell off a ladder. I was on holiday. I went to Spain and Portugal.

How do we conjugate a verb in the past simple ?

I) The verb to be : am / is ......was are...................were
II) Other verbs :
- Regular Verbs : We add : d / ied / ed
1- d : When the verb finishes by e : to revise.................revised
2- ied : When the verb finishes by a consonant + y : to cry........cried
3- ed : With the rest of letters : to visit..............visited
Exercise : Add d / ed / ied to : finish - apply - live - rain - fine - seem -stay -save- employ-dry - invade
- Irregular Verbs : We refer to the list
