Irregular Verbs

Many verbs, such as "have," take irregular forms in the simple past. Notice that you only use the irregular verbs in statements. In negative forms and questions, "did" indicates simple past.

To Be

The verb "be" is also irregular in the simple past. Unlike other irregular verbs, there are two simple past forms: "was" and "were." It also has different question forms and negative forms. Always remember that you DO NOT use "did" with the verb "be" in the simple past.

Positive Negative Question
was. was not. Was I?
You were. You were not. Were you?
We were. We were not. Were we?
They were. They were not. Were they?
He was. He was not. Was he?
She was. She was not. Was she?
It was. It was not. Was it?

Modal Verbs

Modal verbs behave very strangely in the simple past. The most important verb to remember is "must." Notice how it becomes "had to" in the simple past.

"Must" becomes "had to":

  • I must call my wife now.
  • I had to call my wife yesterday.
