What THREE problems are there with this explanation for an A2 learner?
'Ok, so we use the past simple to talk about finished actions in the past, often together with a time adverb like âyesterdayâ or âlast yearâ. To formulate it, we take the stem of the verb in the verb phrase and, depending on whether itâs a regular or irregular verb, we either add a â-dâ or â-edâ suffix to the stem, or completely change the verb. For example, âI decided to buy a new houseâ or âYesterday, I went for a drinkâ.'
