Kitty’s school day Grammar video
Past simple – endings

KITTY: Hi, Gran!

GRAN: Hi, Kitty. How was school?

KITTY: Fine, thanks.

GRAN: What did you do?

KITTY: We watched a film on the pyramids and talked about Ancient Egypt. Then we
had a maths test. I didn’t like it, but I passed. At lunchtime I played with my friends and
Sarah invited me to a birthday party. Then we writed a story …

GRAN: Writed? You mean wrote?

KITTY: But when we talk about the past we add –ed to the verb.

GRAN: Yes, with regular verbs we do. But some verbs change completely in the past
and they are called irregular verbs. Like teach and taught, sing and sang, drink and
drank …

KITTY: … and eat and ate?

GRAN: That’s right! Now, what do you want for dinner?

KITTY: Mmm … cake?

GRAN: Hmm. Some things never change!
