III. Form of
verbs
• The past simple is usually formed by adding d, ed, or
ied to the base form of the verb

• However, in English there are many irregular verbs

that take on a completely different form in the past
tense. Some people call this the V2 form of the verb.

have special forms in the past
• talk-talked

• open- • speak-

 Notes for regular verbs
• Verbs ending in "e" -> we just need to add "d"
Example: type - typesat
/ smile - smile / agree - agree

• Verbs with one syllable, ending in a consonant, followed by a vowel

Verbs with one syllable, ending in a consonant, before the consonant is a vowel sound -> we double the last
consonant and add "-ed".

Example: stop - stop / shop - shopped / touched - touched /

Exception some words do not apply that rule: committed - committed / traveled - traveled / liked - preferred

• Verb with "y"

If before “y” is an integer (a, e, i, o, u) we add “ed”.
Example: play - play / stay - stay

If before “y” is sub-sound (remaining) we change “y” to “i + ed”.

Example: learn - learn / cry - cry
