Yesterday I went to the playground near my house. I had a lot of fun. I
played on the swings and the slide but I didn’t go on the roundabout. I saw
my best friend there. We talked about her birthday and she invited me to her
party. Afterwards I didn’t want to go home!

Past simple – endings
1. Read and find.
Find the verbs in the past simple and write them in the boxes.
We can use the past simple to talk about things we did in the past.
The past simple ending is -ed for regular verbs:
play – played, watch – watched, want – wanted
Irregular verbs have a special form:
eat – ate, write – wrote, go – went
For the negative, don’t change the main verb. Use ‘didn’t’ instead:
play – didn’t play, eat – didn’t eat
2. Match them up!
Match the verbs with their past simple form.
