Past simple is used to talk  about finished actions.

For regular verb forms we use 'ed' to describe the past tense.

For example: 'I walk to school'  becomes 'Yesterday, I "walked" to school.'

Most of the very common verbs are irregular, so it's important that we know these.

Have/had, do/did , say/said, go/went , give/gave, get/got, make/made.

Know/knew, is/was , am/was , are/were.

For example: 'I usually "eat" lunch in the kitchen.'

'Yesterday I "ate" lunch at the park.'

In Episode 2 of 'Fortune Blue', Daniel  and Jimmy talk about the past.

They use the verbs 'give', 'get' and 'take'.

-I got desperate and low on information.

-You gave them empty files.

-And took their money.

Let's check the answers.

-I 'got' desperate and low on information.
