Irregular verbs
Many common verbs have an irregular
past form:
Go-went,
have-had, meet-met, know-knew,
We
use the past simple to talk a bout:
a)
a finished single action in the past.
My
parents met in 1960.
The
film stared at 7:30.
b)
a finished state in the past:
Kate had a happy childhood.
We
lived in a small city.
c)
a repeated action in the past:
She
always telephoned me on Sunday.
They
went swimming every day.
When we use the past simple, we
often say the time of the action: in 1960 at 7:30, on Monday.
