Прошедшее неопределенное (простое) время смысловых глаголов
1. Правильные глаголы (regular verbs) принимают окончание –ed, которые читаются как:
| [d]после гласных и звонких согласных звуков | [t]после глухих согласных звуков | [id]после звуков [t] и [d] |
| played rained studied lived snowed | watched helped worked danced stopped | wanted started needed |
2. Если глагол оканчивается на немую букву –e, то при прибавлении –ed она выпадает.
to live – lived
3. Глаголы, основа которых оканчивается на –y с предшествующей согласной, меняют y на i:
to study – studied
А если перед y стоит гласная, то y сохраняется:
to stay – stayed
4. Глаголы, оканчивающиеся на согласную с предшествующим кратким гласным звуком, удваивают конечную согласную:
to stop – stopped
5. Неправильные глаголы (irregular verbs) не изменяются по этому правилу. Форму прошедшего времени таких глаголов можно найти в таблице неправильных глаголов (Past form).
