1791. He started composing at the age of five

Lived/started/wrote/was/died are all past simple.
Very often the past simple ends in -ed (regular verbs)

1D We invited them to our party, but they decided not ro come.
© The police stopped me on my way home last night.
© Laura passed her examination because she studied very hard.
For spelling (stopped, studied etc), see Appendix 6.
But many verbs are irregular. The past simple does not end in -ed. For example:
write > wrote 5 Mozart wrote more than 600 pieces of music.
see = saw © We saw Rose in town a few days ago.
go > went © I went to the cinema three times last week
shut > shut 1 It was cold, so I shut the window.
For a list of irregular verbs, see Appendix 1.
In questions and negatives we use did/didn’t + infinitive (enjoy/see/go etc.):
1 enjoyed you | enjoy? 1 | enjoy
she | saw did | she | see she | didn't | see
they | went they go? they g0
© a: Did you go out last night?

© ‘When did Mr Thomas die?” ‘About ten years ago.”
© They didn’t invite her to the party, so she didn’t go.
© ‘Did you have time to write the letter?” ‘No, I didn’t.”
In the following examples, do is the main verb in the sentence (did ... do / didn't do):
© What did you do at the weekend? (not What did you at the weekend?)

party at 10.30 and Sarah arrived at 11 o'clock. So:

Sometimes we talk about something that happened in the past:

This is the starting point of the story. Then, if we want to talk about things that happened
before this time, we use the past perfect (had ...):
© When Sarah arrived at the party, Paul had already gone home.
Some more examples:
2 When we got home last night, we found that somebody had broken into the flat.
© Karen didn’t want to go to the cinema with us because she'd already seen the film.
