Grammar: Past Simple

Afirmativas, negativas, perguntas, e a lista essencial de verbos irregulares.

Regular verbs add -ED: "walk → walked", "decide → decided", "travel → travelled".

Irregular verbs change completely: go→went, have→had, see→saw, say→said, come→came, know→knew, think→thought, take→took.

📅 Key time markers: yesterday / last week/month/year / [X] ago / in [year] / when I was [age].

Negative: Subject + DIDN'T + verb (base form). "She didn't go." / "I didn't have time." / "They didn't travel."

Question: DID + subject + verb (base form)? "Did you go?" / "Did she have breakfast?" / "When did they travel?"

⚠️ Tip: Never use DID + past form: ❌ "Did you WENT?" ✅ "Did you GO?"

be → was/werebecome → becamebegin → began break → brokebring → broughtbuy → bought come → camedo → diddrink → drank eat → atefeel → feltfind → found forget → forgotget → gotgive → gave go → wenthave → hadknow → knew leave → leftmake → mademeet → met say → saidsee → sawtake → took tell → toldthink → thoughtunderstand → understood write → wrote

💡 Tip: Learn them in groups (bring/brought, buy/bought, think/thought — same pattern!)
