Grammatical Rules
• Form
Para formar el pasado simple con verbos regulares, usamos el infinitivo y
añadimos la terminación “-ed”. La forma es la misma para todas las personas (I,
you, he, she, it, we, they).
Examples
Want → Wanted
Learn → Learned
Stay → Stayed
Walk → Walked
Show → Showed
Exceptions
For verbs of only ONE syllable
• If ending in 1 vowel + 1 consonant → duplicate consonant and add –ed
• If ending in 2 vowel + 1 consonant → add –ed
• If ending in 1 vowel + 2 consonant → add –ed
For verbs of TWO or more syllable
• If ending in –e → add –d
• If ending in consonant + y → change –y for –i and add –ed
• If ending in vowel + y → add –ed
• If ending in any consonant → add –ed
• Post: irregular verbs have NO rules, you must learn them
