Let's Talk About the Past in English

We will learn how to talk about things that have already ended, such as "I went ..." and "I ate ...." This is the first step toward learning the past tense in detail in junior high school.

Basic Rules

The verb "go" changes to "went" when talking about the past. The verb "eat" changes to "ate." Verbs that change completely in this way are called irregular verbs. Say "I went to ..." to mean "I went to ..." and "I ate ..." to mean "I ate ...."

注意

In addition to go → went and eat → ate, gradually learn the past forms of other commonly used verbs, such as see → saw, have → had, and buy → bought. To describe a past state, use was, the past form of is / am (It was fun.). In junior high school, you will learn these rules in more detail.
