Grammar

1 Review: past simple

We use the past simple to talk about actions, states and events that fi nished in the past. The past form of regular verbs ends in -ed. Many common verbs have irregular pastforms that don’t end in -ed. You have to learn the past form of each irregular verb (see the table of irregular verbs on page 77).

Circle the correct words.

Dog agility is a sport where dogs must walk (1) past / up and (2) down / off ramps. They also jump

(3) along / through tires, go (4) up / through ladders and jump (5) down / over fences.
