Past Simple

1.- We form the past Simple of regular verbs by adding -ed to the verb:


walk ---> walked watch ---> watched
open ---> opened ask -----> asked

There are some exceptions:

----> verbs endiong with -e:

+d live ---> lived like ---> liked

----> verbs ending with a consonant and -y:

+ y ---> -ied apply ----> applied
try ------> tried

----> most verbs ending with one vowel and one consonant:

+p --->pped stop ----> stopped
plan ----> planned

2.- Many verbs have an irregular Past Simple form:

do --> did have --> had
take --> took buy --> bought
come --> came stand --> stood
find --> found ring ----> rang
go --> went say ----> said

3.- We form the negative with didn't and the infinitive (e.g. do, take, underestand):

I didn't understand. (Not didn't understood)

We form questions with did and the infinitive (e.g. watch):

Did you watch the film?

4.- We use the Present Simple to talk about an action or situation in the past which is finished. We often say when it happened (e.g. yesterday, last night):

Chris phoned me yesterday. He wanted to ask me something
Did you enjoy the concert last night?

5.- We can use the Past Simple with for to talk about something that continued for a period of time , ended in the past:

I lived in Rome for two years. Then I went to work in Japan.

past ---------------------> now

for 2 years



"The Reason"

I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found out a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why i need you to hear

I've found out a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You

and the reason is You [x3]

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found out a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you
