3. Past simple - Irregular Verbs
The affirmatives are formed Subject pronoun + verb in past simple
Example: I took a taxi to the airport. (take → took)
The negatives are all formed with did + not + the infinitive without to.
Example: We didn't think you would get home in time for your birthday.
The question forms are very similar: did + subject pronoun + the infinitive without to
Example: Did you have enough food?
Write 3 examples (each one):
Affirmative:
Negative:

Rules that we have to be careful with:
silent 'e'
When the verb ends with a silent e, drop the e and add -ing:
make becomes making
take becomes taking
one-syllable verbs
For short, one-syllable verbs, that end with consonant + vowel + consonant (CVC),
we must double the last consonant and then add -ing:
Sit Sitting
swim becomes swimming
run becomes running
w, x and y
For words that end w, x and y, do not double the last consonant; just add -ing:
enjoy becomes enjoying
study becomes studying
two-syllable words
When words have two or more syllables ending in CVC,
you must double the last consonant if the last syllable is stressed.
When the last syllable is not stressed, just add -ing.
The last syllable is stressed:
commit becomes committing
The last syllable is not stressed:
whisper becomes whispering
-ie verbs
For verbs that end in -ie, change the ie to y before adding -ing:
die becomes dying
Lie - lying
