Past simple active and passive voices
This document discusses the past simple tense in English. It is used to describe completed actions in the past, whether they occurred once, habitually, or in sequence. The past simple is formed by using the past form of regular verbs (ending in "-ed") or irregular past forms for irregular verbs. It can be made affirmative, negative, or interrogative. The document also covers the active and passive voice in the past simple tense and how the passive is formed using "was/were + past participle."
The past simple tense
The document discusses the past simple tense in English. It provides rules for forming the affirmative, negative, and interrogative of regular and irregular verbs in the past tense. It then explains different uses of the past simple tense, including completed actions, sequences of past actions, durations, habits or repeated actions in the past, and past facts or generalizations. It emphasizes that the past simple denotes an action already completed in the past. It also distinguishes between "used to do" and "get used to doing" when referring to habits or something becoming accustomed.

It provides examples of when each article is used, such as "a" being used to refer to one of many or any item, while "the" refers to a specific or known item. It also discusses some phrases that use articles like "a few", "as a result", and "it is a shame".
