animals.

5. Write down at least 5 past actions found in the passage.
What is It
When talking about an action that has happened in a specific time in the past,
you will need to use the simple past tense. However, before you can begin using this
tense, it is important to learn the rules in using it. As with any part of English
grammar, the rules of the simple past tense should be applied each time it is used to
form grammatically correct sentences. In this section, you are going to learn how to
do this effectively.
The simple past tense shows that an action started and completed in the
past and has no relevance to the present time at all. It can also be used to describe
how someone felt, what their emotional condition was, at a point in the past. There
are no forms of the verb to be’ or to have’ (was, were) with this tense as there are
with others.
This time, you will learn the Simple Past Tense Structure.
Verbs have different forms, called tenses. The tense of a verb tells us when
the action happens.
We use the simple past tense to talk about things that happened in the past.
Examples:
1. Last Wednesday, we decided to visit the zoo.
2. We walked toward the first exhibits.
3. I looked up at a giraffe as it stared back at me.
For most verbs, the simple past tense is created by adding d, ed or ied at the
end of the word. These are called regular verbs.
5
The following are some of the rules for regular verbs.
Example:
live lived
love loved
date dated
agree agreed
care cared
try tried
carry carried
dirty dirtied
hurry hurried
Activity 3 - C: Gear Up
1. spy - ________________
2. copy-________________
3. try- _________________
4. worry-_______________

5. cry- _________________

You have learned the Simple Past Tense of Regular Verbs. This time, you will
be exploring about the Simple Past Tense of Irregular Verbs and see their

Have you experienced winning a race? How did you do it? Read and find out
the experience of the Hare and the Tortoise in the story.
By Unknown
One day the Hare and the Tortoise decided to have a race. The Hare knew
that he could run faster than the Tortoise. But, the Tortoise was more intelligent than
the Hare. ‘Yes, I’ll race with you,’ said the clever Tortoise. The Tortoise had a clever
plan. He found his brothers and sisters and he told them to wait in different places
along the path. The race begun! The Tortoise ran as fast as possible. But the Hare
was faster, of course. ‘This will be a very easy race’, thought the Hare. So the Hare
decided to have a rest, and he quickly fell asleep at the side of the road. Suddenly,
the Hare woke up and he saw a Tortoise ahead of him! ‘How did he get ahead of
me?’ the Hare asked himself. In fact, it was not his friend the Tortoise: it was the
tortoise’s sister. But to a Hare, all tortoises look the same. The Hare ran past the
Tortoise easily. Soon, he couldn’t see the Tortoise, so he sat down and he had
another rest. Then the Hare got up and continued the race.
But- as the Hare happily came around the last corner before the finish line –
his friend the tortoise crossed the line and won the race!
