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.

I would like water.
Megértem.
I understand.
Itt vagyok.
I am here.
Vizet kérek.
I would like water.
Nem értem.
I don't understand.
Beszélsz angolul?
Do you speak English? (informal)
Hol van a mosdó?
Where is the restroom?
Ez a barátom.
