Question

Past Simple affirmative: regular verbs How do these verbs end in the Past Simple?​

Answer 1

Ответ:

In the Past Simple affirmative (positive) form, regular verbs in English typically end in "-ed." The pattern for forming regular verbs in the Past Simple tense is as follows:

• For regular verbs ending in a consonant (except for "-d" or "-t"), add "-ed" to the base form:

Example: walk → walked

Example: play → played

• For regular verbs ending in an "-e," simply add "-d" to the base form:

Example: dance → danced

Example: smile → smiled

• For regular verbs ending in a single vowel followed by a single consonant, double the final consonant before adding "-ed" if the stress is on the final syllable and the word is one-syllable or ends in a single vowel-consonant combination:

Example: stop → stopped

Example: run → ran (irregular in base form, but the Past Simple form is regular: run → ran → ran)

These patterns help form the Past Simple tense for regular verbs in affirmative sentences. However, keep in mind that there are irregular verbs in English that do not follow these regular patterns.
