Explanations

THE PAST TENSE OF THE IRREGULAR VERBS


Regular verbs add -ED to the verb:
work --> worked
jump --> jumped
But irregular verbs make the past in a different way:
drink --> drank
fly --> flew
put --> put
go --> went

FORMS

Regular verbs:
affirmative--> I lived in Rome
negative--> I didn't live in Rome / he didn't work for Philips
interrogative--> Did you live in Rome? / Did he love you?
Notice that when we use DID or DIDN'T, they carry the mark of the past, not the main verb.

Irregular verbs:
affirmative--> I went to Paris in 2002
negative--> I didn't go to Paris in 2001
interrogative--> Did you go to Paris in 2005?
Again, when we use DID or DIDN'T, they carry the mark of the past, not the main verb.
