we were having technical

43:09

difficulties

43:13

can you see us now

43:15

can you hear us okay

43:23

okay we're back thanks jen okay um

43:28

okay yeah sorry about that

43:30

all right moving onward so

43:32

um

43:34

irregular

43:36

verbs in the simple past

43:39

now if you remember when we talked about

43:43

um

43:44

verbs in the simple present

43:46

if you have a verb like eat for example

43:49

you say i eat

43:51

you eat

43:53

she eats

43:54

we eat

43:56

it's mostly the same however

43:59

when we say he she and it

44:01

you add the s at the end right so

44:04

not all of the forms of the verb are the

44:07

same

44:08

for the subjects

44:10

um

44:10

[Music]

44:13

but the simple past

44:16

is it the same for all the subjects

44:18

hmm

44:20

i

44:21

let's go through them yeah i

44:23

are we using meat um

44:25

maybe we can

44:26

yeah we can use eat in the simple past

44:29

so

44:29

eat

44:32

is um

44:35

i'm wondering maybe i should type these

44:36

out in this in the present first just to

44:38

compare them so i eat

44:42

you eat

44:44

she he

44:46

itch

44:47

eats with the s

44:54

we eat

44:56

they eat

44:59

so that's the simple past oh sorry it's

45:02

a

45:02

simple present

45:16

now it's a little easier with the past

45:19

tense though

45:21

because you say i h

45:24

eight

45:25

yep

45:27

uh

45:31

he ate it eight

45:33

we

45:34

ate

45:36

day eight

45:38

that's it

45:39

yeah so they're all the same

45:42

eight eight eight eight

45:43

this is true with almost every verb

45:47

so

45:48

i called you called she called

45:52

it's all the same so that that helps

45:54

that makes things easier

45:57

um

45:58

but

46:00

we said it's not the same for every verb

46:05

what verb is different

46:08

what verb
