1. What is the Past Tense?

• The past tense tells us about actions that have already happened.
• Example: Yesterday, I played with my friends.

2. What are Irregular Verbs?

• Irregular verbs do not follow the regular rule of adding -ed or -d to show past tense. Instead, their past forms often change completely.
• Example:
  • Base verb: go → Past tense: went
  • Base verb: see → Past tense: saw

3. Forming the Irregular Past Tense:
