PAST SIMPLE IRREGULAR VERBS

This page will present the simple past tense:

• its form
• and its use.

Before you continue the lesson read the following passage and try to see how the verbs are formed and used.

The verbs "was, wrote" are irregular past forms. "Was" is the simple past of "to be"; "wrote" is the simple past of "write".

There is no rule for these verbs. You should learn them by heart.

As you can see we can not predict the simple past forms of these verbs. They are irregular. You should learn them by heart.
