Talking about the past (yesterday, earlier, last week)
A beginner‑friendly approach to past tense: start with one safe past pattern and reuse it.
The strategy
Don’t try to master every tense. Start with one common past pattern from real sentences.
- Use time words (yesterday/last week) to make meaning clear.
- Copy a native past pattern and reuse it with different verbs.
Byl jsem tady.
I was here. (masc.)
Jdu domů.
I’m going home.
Jsem tady.
I am here.
Chci vodu.
I want water.
Nerozumím.
I don't understand.
