REGULAR VERBS

REGULAR VERBS

For regular verbs as the verb –work – we just add a suffix –ed at the end of the
base form of the verb to indicate past tense.

For irregular verbs, we don’t add –ed, but we change the word to its form in past.
some examples of irregular verbs are (Begin – Draw – Drink)

USES OF THE SIMPLE PAST
