FORM
  • We form the affirmative of most regular verbs by adding -ed to the verb. I work - I worked
  • Other verbs have irregular affirmative forms. I see - I saw
  • We form the negative of past simple with didn't + base form of the verb. I didn't work yesterday, I didn't see Tom yesterday.
  • We form the interrogative of past simple with Did + personal subject pronoun + base form of the verb. Did he work yesterday? Did you see Tom yesterday?
  • We form positive short answers with did and negative short answers with didn't. Did you call me? Yes, I did. Did he tell you? No, he didn't.
SPELLING
  • We add -d to verbs ending in -e. I live - I lived.
  • Verbs ending in consonant + y drop the -y and add -ied. I try - I tried.
  • Verbs ending in one stressed vowel between two consonants double the last consonant and take -ed. I stop - I stopped.
USE
  • We use the past simple for actions which happened in the past and won't happen again. He graduated from high school in 1998. (When did he graduate? In 1998.)
  • We also use the past simple for actions which happened at a specific time in the past. He visited his grandparents last Sunday. (When? Last Sunday.)
Time expressions used with the past simple: yesterday, last night/morning/evening etc., two weeks/a month etc ago, in 1964 etc.
USED TO
We use used to + infinitive to refer to past habits or states which don't exist any more. In such cases we can also use the past simple.

I didn't use to wear glasses.
