Study this example: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was an Austrian musician and composer. He lived from 1756 to 1791. He started composing at the age of five and wrote more than 600 pieces of music. He was only 35 years old when he died. Lived/started/wrote/was/died are all past simple. Very often the past simple ends in -ed (regular verbs) | work in a travel agency now. Before that | worked in a department store. We invited them to our party, but they decided not to come. The police stopped me on my way home last night. Laura passed her exam because she studied very hard, For spelling (stopped, studied etc.), see Appendix 6. But many verbs are irregular. The past simple does not end in -ed. For example: write + wrote Mozart wrote more than 600 pieces of music. see > saw We saw Tanya in town a few days ago. go — went I went to the cinema three times last week. shut —> shut twas cold, so | shut the window. In questions and negatives we use did/didn't + infinitive (enjoy/see/go etc.) [1 enjoyea you | enjoy?
