To change a sentence into past tense in Afrikaans:

Identify all verbs, including auxiliary verbs.
Change is to was.
Replace the verb with het and move the original verb to the end, adding ge-.
If the verb has a prefix, don’t add ge-.
If the sentence already contains het, add gehad at the end.
Rule for “kan”: In past tense, kan changes to kon.
