The Past Forms of Verbs

In this chapter we are going to study how the past forms of verbs are formed. These past tense forms are obtained by slightly changing the original form of the verb. The base form of some verbs does not change at all when it is used in the past tense.

So let’s see a little information about it and some examples.

चला तर मग पाहूया त्याविषयी थोडीशी माहिती व काही उदाहरणे.

Past forms of Verbs

1.There are some verbs in English that are made past tense by adding the letters ed or d to the end of the verb.

The past tense forms obtained in this way are considered regular form forms.

इंग्रजीमध्ये अशी काही क्रियापदे आहेत की त्या क्रियापदांच्या पुढे ed किंवा d ही अक्षरे जोडून त्याची भूतकाळातले रूप मिळवली जाते.

अशा प्रकारे मिळालेल्या भूतकाळातील रूपांना regular form पद्धतीची रूपे मानतात.
