Past+Simple

__USES__

 * The Past Simple is used to express the idea that an action started and finished at a specific time in the past. The specific time does not need to be mentioned.
 * Example: Mark __came__ last week. I __called__ Barbara.
 * It can also be used to describe a habit which stopped in the past, or facts and generalizations that are no longer true. It can have the same meaning as "used to".
 * Example: I __studied__ french at the school. I __smoked__ all the time. She was shy when she was a kid. The cinema __was__ cheap some years ago.

__ FORM __

 * __Regular Verbs__
 * Verb+ed
 * Exceptions
 * After a final "e", only add "d": love -> loved
 * Final consonant after a short, stressed vowel or/as final consonant after a vowel is doubled: admit -> admitted, travel -> travelled
 * Final "y" after a consonant becomes "i": hurry -> hurried


 * __ Irregular Verbs __
 * They have their own particular form that has to be learned.


 * || Affirmative || Negative || Question ||
 * I/You/He/She/It/We/They || I walked || I did not walk || Did I walk? ||
 * Just like in the Present Simple, we have to use the auxiliary verb "do" when we form negative sentences and questions. We use "do" in its past simple form, and the other verb in infinitive (without "to")
