Using Verb
Simple Past Tense is the past tense of modern English . It is used
to describe events in the past. Simple past sometimes called the
Preterite.
To retell the past story (Narrative Text), we must use the past tense. Except when we
will say a direct sentence at the story.
What Is Verb?The verb is perhaps the most important part of the sentence. A verb or
compound verb asserts something about the subject of the sentence and express actions, events, or states of being. The verb or
compound verb is the critical element of the predicate of a sentence.
Example :
Dracula bites his victims on the neck.The verb "bites" describes the action Dracula takes.
In early October, Giselle will plant twenty tulip bulbs.Here the compound verb "will plant" describes an action that will take place in the future.
The simple past form:
1. AFFIRMATIVE
Subject + Verb 2 + Object + Complement
Example of the text :I went to Japan yesterday.I walked to school everyday.
2. NEGATIVE
Subject + did not/ didn’t+ Verb 1 +Object +
Complement
Example:I did not go to Japan yesterday.We did not have time to visit the Eiffel Tower.
3. INTERROGATIVE
Did + Verb 1 + Object +complement?
Example :What did you do ?Did you have a bicycle?
