In this lesson, you will learn how to conjugate regular and irregular verbs in the past tense. This is an essential part of Russian grammar, as many verbs in everyday speech are used in the past tense. For example, telling a story, describing a recent event or simply stating what happened yesterday all make use of the past tense.

Conjugating Regular Verbs in the Past Tense
Regular verbs in the past tense are formed by adding the appropriate ending to the stem of the verb. To find the stem of a verb, remove the -ть or -ти ending from the infinitive form of the verb. Then add one of the following endings:
| Person | Ending |
|---|---|
| Я (I) | -л |
| Ты (You) | -л |
| Он/Она/Оно (He/She/It) | -л |
| Мы (We) | -ли |
| Вы (You - plural or formal) | -ли |
| Они (They) | -ли |
For example, let's take the verb "говорить" (to speak).
- Я говорил (I spoke)
- Ты говорил (You spoke - singular familiar)
- Он/Она/Оно говорил (He/She/It spoke)
- Мы говорили (We spoke)
- Вы говорили (You spoke - plural or formal)
- Они говорили (They spoke)
These endings are the same for most verbs, but some verbs have irregular past tense forms.
Irregular Past Tense Forms
Irregular past tense forms do not follow the same pattern as regular verbs. However, it is important to know these forms as they are used frequently in everyday speech. Here are some examples:
| Russian | Pronunciation | English Translation |
|---|---|---|
| быть | byt' | to be (I was, you were, he/she/it was, we were, you were, they were) |
| есть | est' | to eat (I ate, you ate, he/she/it ate, we ate, you ate, they ate) |
| дать | dat' | to give (I gave, you gave, he/she/it gave, we gave, you gave, they gave) |
| идти | idti | to go (I went, you went, he/she/it went, we went, you went, they went) |
| есть | est' | to eat (I ate, you ate, he/she/it ate, we ate, you ate, they ate) |
| иметь | imet' | to have (I had, you had, he/she/it had, we had, you had, they had) |
| писать | pisat' | to write (I wrote, you wrote, he/she/it wrote, we wrote, you wrote, they wrote) |
| сидеть | sidet' | to sit (I sat, you sat, he/she/it sat, we sat, you sat, they sat) |
| стоять | stoyat' | to stand (I stood, you stood, he/she/it stood, we stood, you stood, they stood) |
| ходить | khodit' | to walk (I walked, you walked, he/she/it walked, we walked, you walked, they walked) |
| читать | chitat' | to read (I read, you read, he/she/it read, we read, you read, they read) |
