Verb Conjugation & Spelling

Regular verbs : Verb + -ED.

Irregular verbs : Past form of the verb (V2)

Subject Verb The Rest of the sentence

I / you / we / they/ he / she / it spoke English at home. I / you / we / they/ he / she / it played soccer in the park. The spelling for the Verb + -ED differs depending on the ending of that verb:

1. Drop : For verbs that end in -E we add -D.

manage - managed invite - invited like - liked

2. Double : For verbs with a short vowel we double

the last consonant : hug - hugged stop - stopped plan - planned

3. Change : For verbs that end in a consonant

+ Y we change it to -IED : worry - worried multiply - multiplied identify - identified

4. Just add: For all the other we just add -ED :

push - pushed work - worked talk - talked NOTE: For verbs that end in a vowel + Y, we just add -ED. play - played / enjoy - enjoyed / stay - stayed

Negative Sentences in the Simple Present Tense

To make a negative sentence in English we normally use didn't + the present form of the verb with all verbs EXCEPT to be (was, were) and modal verbs (can, might, should etc.).

Affirmative: You played tennis.

Negative: You didn't play tennis.

You will see that we add didn't between the subject and the verb.

Affirmative: He went to New York.

Negative: He didn't go to New York.

Negative Contractions (did not = didn't): I didn't like meat = I did not like it. There is no difference in meaning though we normally use contractions in spoken English.
