A full lesson presentation teaching what the past simple tense is, why we use it and how to write in the past simple tense. The past simple tense is used to talk about things that have already happened. It is used especially for describing things that we know when happened. All clauses (and so sentences) must have a verb. Verbs tell us the tense of a clause. We distinguish between regular and irregular verbs. Regular verbs are verbs which follow a rule to change to past simple (we add the suffix -ed to these words).
