To get admission to your dream college for the BTech Nanotechnology course, you should start preparing for the entrance exam at least 8 to 10 months before the tentative exam date. It gives you enough scope to cover the maximum syllabus sections, practice previous year question papers, take mock tests, and plan a rigorous revision schedule in the last 1-2 months. 

The time may also differ on the basis of the exam you're planning to appear for. In the case of a national-level exam like JEE Main, you need extra practice and preparation owing to its competitiveness and difficulty.

To get excellent marks in the entrance exam for BTech in Electronics and Communication Engineering, you should begin your exam preparation at least 8 months before the final exam is about to take place, go through the exam syllabus in detail and note down all the important exam topics to be covered, prepare a weekly timetable for your convenience, take monthly mock tests and practice previous year's question papers, get familiar with the exam pattern, and plan a thorough revision schedule.

By following this work plan, you would surely be able to do well on the entrance test and meet the cutoff for admission to top colleges.

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.

The simple past tense, in English, is used to describe an action that took place in the past. In most cases, the simple past tense is formed by adding an 'ed' or a 'd' to the end of the base verb. However, there are other verbs which have different spellings when used in the simple past form. They need to be summarized.
