Instructor: Claudio Starts today.
About this course
The Simple Past tense provides a clear and concise way to communicate about past events. This program focuses on describing actions or events that were completed at a specific time in the past using regular verbs. You will learn how to express completed actions, narrate a series of events, and discuss past habits or states of being. In addition to forming affirmative and negative statements and questions, you will expand your vocabulary with practical nouns, time phrases, and prepositional phrases. Finally, you will master the three distinct pronunciation rules for the "-ed" ending, learning when to pronounce it as /t/, /d/, or /ɪd/ based on the verb's final sound.

Simple Past wit the Regular Verbs
• Describe actions that started and finished at a specific time in the past (e.g., "I visited Paris last year").
• Narrate a chronological sequence of completed past events.
• Formulate correct Yes/No and Information questions about past events using "did".
• Contextualize past actions using time phrases (like "yesterday morning" or "last night") and prepositional phrases (like "on the beach" or "at a disco").
• Accurately pronounce the "-ed" ending of regular verbs depending on whether the root word ends in a voiceless consonant (/t/ sound), a voiced consonant/vowel (/d/ sound), or a t/d sound (/ɪd/ or /əd/ sound).
