English Language Proficiency test scores are only valid if taken within 2 years before applying. These scores are acceptable by NIT as well as the Australian Government Department of Home Affairs. Students must ensure that they provide valid proof so as to increase their chances of getting accepted. 

The English proficiency requirements vary based on the amount of time a student gives to ELICOS along with the principal course. The requirements for different cases are mentioned below.

The required minimum level of English at Humboldt University of Berlin is B2. A higher level of English C1 or C2 has a positive effect. Minimum scores required in English language proficiency tests are:

• IELTS: 5.5

The 'simple past tense', according to the Cambridge Dictionary, is defined as “the form of a verb used to describe an action that happened before the present time and is no longer happening. It is usually made by adding -ed.” The Collins Dictionary defines the 'simple past tense' as “a tense used to refer to the past.” The Macmillan Dictionary defines the simple past tense as “the tense used to talk about habitual actions, behaviour, or situations that happened or existed before now.”

The simple past tense of the verb “go” is “went”. Irregular verbs like “go” don't follow a specific pattern and do not use suffix like 'ed' to be changed into simple past tense. For example, I went to the market yesterday. Went is the simple past tense word of 'go'. There is no suffix in the verb. 

The simple past tense of the verb “read” is “read” (for ex: “I read a book last week”). While “read” is spelled the same in both its past and present forms, its pronunciation differs depending on the tense. For example, I read the book last night. Here 'read' is used in simple past tense, but the spelling remains the same as they are used in present tense. 

The basic formula of the simple past tense is as follows: Subject + verb in the past tense (verb + 'ed/d' for regular verbs). For regular verbs, the past tense form is usually formed by adding "-ed" to the base form of the verb. For irregular verbs, the past tense form is unique and must be learnt by the students.
