Laura Learns More English: Past Tense difference between ED and ING

Past Simple of regular verbs
Present Simple: I talk to my sister everyday. Lead in to past simple:Yesterday, I talked to her.
T: I visited her. We watched TV. She cooked lunch. We listened to music.
This is the same for all people and pronouns

The Simple Past: Regular Verbs

Regular verbs make their past tense by adding - d, - ed,
or (if the verb ends in a consonant + y), changing the y
to i and then adding - ed.
Examples:

Add -d:		baked, cared, eased, filed, greased, hated, liked, piled, raced, seized, smiled, typed, wheezed, whined

Change y to i and add -ed:		apply / applied; bury / buried; cry / cried; fry / fried; hurry / hurried; marry / married; pry / pried; spy / spied try / tried vary / varied worry / worried

Add -ed:		other regular verbs: asked, belonged, clapped, dialed, filled, guessed, hopped, looked, marked, needed, pulled, reached, started, touched, viewed, washed, yelled, zipped

Simple of regular verbs
T: I sometimes walk in the park.
S: You walked in the park yesterday.

Past Simple of irregular verbs

T: Yesterday I spoke to a friend. We went to the movies. We saw Eclipse. My friend ate popcorn. I drank soda.

Past Simple of irregular verbs
T: I usually drink orange juice for breakfast. S: Yesterday you drank orange juice.

Past Simple – Negative forms
Say, 'Yesterday I talked to John. I didn't talk to Sarah.' alternating between affirmative and negative statements:
Sarah had lunch at 12. She didn’t have lunch at one. You went to the gym yesterday. You didn’t go to the movies.
And so on with all persons, singular and plural.

Questions in the Past Tense

We use did to make a question in the past tense.
This is for regular AND irregular verbs in English.
(Exception is To Be and Modal Verbs such as Can)

Compare the following:

Present: Do they live in France?
Past: Did they live in France?

The main verb (live in the example above) is in its base form (of the infinitive). The auxiliary DID shows that the question is in the past tense.

NOTICE: The only difference between a question in the present tense and a question in the past tense is the change in the auxiliary verb.
Both Do and Does in present tense questions become Didn't in past tense questions.

Compare the questions in the examples below:

Present: Do you need a doctor?
Past: Did you need a doctor?

Present: Do you ride your bike to work?
Past: Did you ride your bike to work?

Present: Does he live in Italy?
Past: Did he live in Italy?

We can also use a question word (Who, What, Why etc.) before DID to ask for more information.

Did you study? – Yes, I did.
When did you study? – I studied last night.
Where did you study? – I studied at the library.

English uses verbs in the simple past tense to refer to
actions, situations, or events that are finished and that
happened before now. There are three ways to form
simple past tense in English. One way is what happens
with the verb be: it uses the special forms was and were.
Another way is what happens with regular verbs.
(They are called regular because they all add the same
ending--ed--or some variation on it.)
