E.g: watched, enjoyed, wanted, …
Động từ tận cùng bằng “e”, chúng ta cỉ thêm “d”
E.g: loved, liked, wasted, lived, …
Động từ tận cùng bằng “y”
Trước “y” là một nguyên âm (a, e, i, o, u), chúng ta thêm “ed” như bình thường E.g: played,
Trước “y” là một phụ âm, chúng ta đổi “y” thành “i” rồi thêm “ed” E.g: studied, tried, …

S + wish (that) + S + V (past subjunctive)
Câu với động từ “wish” theo sau nó là thì quá khứ giả định dùng để diễn tả sự ao ước về các sự việc, tình huống ở hiện tại không theo ý muốn của chúng ta Thì quá khứ giả định giống như thì quá khứ đơn Riêng động từ “to be” ta dùng “were” cho tất cả các ngôi
