Simple past with regular verbs

18:04

was young i listened to the

18:04

radio great yeah

18:07

okay

18:08

let's look at how we form the simple

18:11

past in english yeah we're going to

18:13

start with regular verbs

18:15

yeah

18:16

so how do we form

18:18

the simple past with regular verbs

18:23

so well we have the subject

18:26

what's the subject

18:30

look at the let's we'll start with a

18:32

regular little we'll look at the example

18:33

that we had um we'll use this sentence

18:36

here

18:40

oh perfect i don't know how to make that

18:41

go there you go okay that's the sentence

18:43

we're looking at you can you guys see it

18:51

so on tuesday my dad called

18:54

for regular verbs

18:57

you're just going to add an ed to the

19:00

end

19:00

so

19:02

excuse me

19:04

we have the verb call

19:07

right to call someone on the phone ring

19:10

ring ring

19:11

oh somebody is calling me hello

19:15

to call

19:17

and yeah so in the past we have verb

19:20

plus ed

19:22

my dad

19:23

called

19:25

yep right so

19:27

um and we can do this with all kinds of

19:31

examples so for example

19:34

walk becomes

19:38

walked

19:41

listen

19:42

to listen to someone

19:45

becomes

19:47

listened

19:49

now why don't you try to write some

19:51

examples for us write some examples in

19:53

the comments you can think of a regular

19:56

verb

19:57

and give us both the simple form the

20:00

regular form

20:02

and the simple past tense yep just like

20:05

the examples we just gave you so call

20:07

called

20:08

walk walked

20:14

and be careful here

20:16

you add an ed ending like called

20:20

but you don't say the e so much it often

20:23

sounds like either a d or a

20:27

sound it really depends on

20:30

the

20:31

last consonant so for example walk

20:36

you don't use your vocal chords for it

20:39

so it becomes

20:41

walked

20:42

and it makes a t sound

20:44

walked

20:46

yesterday i

20:48

walked

20:50

to the store

20:52

um

20:53

and good captain t this one's actually

20:56

a little trickier this one's slightly

20:58

irregular we'll talk about that

21:01

um should we talk about it right now

21:02

yeah might as why not yeah

21:05

so
