What is Simple Past?
2
The Past Simple is a verb tense that is used to
describe actions that have happened in a previous
time and that have already ended.
For example
She cleaned her house.
They talked for hours yesterday.
He slept on the sofa last night
Characteristics of the simple past
▪ Indicates the action performed at a specific time in the past.
▪ The main verb of the sentence is always in the past tense.
▪ It has a simple composition of "subject and predicate verb".
▪ It is the only grammatical tense that uses verbs in the past tense.
▪ In the predicate expressions that determine the time of the
sentence can be used, although it will always be the verb that
indicates whether or not the sentence is in the past tense.

Regular Verbs

To walk - walked
To visit - visited
To live - lived
To call - called
To wait - waited
To offer - offered
To move - moved
To play - played

For example

The boys called her several times

Irregular Verbs

To see - saw
To take - took
To get - got
To eat -ate
To speak - spoke
To drive - drove
To go - went
To come - came
