Ancient Greece

Lesson 21

A verb in past tense describes an action that was started and completed in the past.

Many past-tense verbs end in –ed

Examples:Last summer, my family visit Greece. (visited)

We stay with relatives in Athens.

On the first evening, my brother and I climb

the Acropolis.

Simple Tenses: Past Tense

When a verb ends in a consonant followed by y, change the y to an I and add –ed (try/tried)

When a single syllable verb ends in one vowel followed by one consonant (but not w or y), double the consonant and add –ed (trip/tripped)

When a verb ends in an e, drop the e and add –ed (live/lived, believe/believed)

Ending Changes in Past Tense

A verb in the future tense describes an action that will occur in the future.

To form the future tense, add the helping verb will to the main verb: We will sail to the island of Crete tomorrow. Examples:

Tomorrow afternoon, I start my project on

Socrates.

First, I go online for information.

At six o’clock, my mom take me to the library.
