2. The simple past is one of these tenses, present in
different languages. The mention of the past refers to
actions that have already been carried out previously
(that is, they have already been fulfilled).
The past simple, also known as the simple past, is the
verbal tense that is used in the English language to
narrate facts that happened at a specific time in the past.
It corresponds in its meaning to the past simple perfect
in Spanish.

3. The simple past in our language, therefore, indicates an
action that was already developed and does not have a
necessary link with what is done in the present. The past in
question, therefore, is and unrelated to the present.
The Simple Past is a verb tense that is used to describe
actions that have happened in a previous time and that
have already finished, for example:
• She cleaned her house. She cleaned her house.
• I broke the window. I broke the window.

4. 1. The simple past is used to speak of a concrete action
that began and ended in the past. In this case it is
equivalent to the Spanish indefinite past tense. Generally,
we use weather conadverbs like "last year", "yesterday",
"last night" ...
Examples:
Tom stayed at home last night. Tom stayed home
last night.
Kate worked last Saturday. (Kate worked last
Saturday.)
I did not go to the party yesterday. I did not go to
the party yesterday.
Did they walk to school this morning? Have you
been to school this morning?

5. 2. The simple past is used for a series of actions in the
past.
Examples:
I received the good news and immediately called my
husband. (I received the good news and
immediately called my husband.)
He studied for an hour in the morning, worked every
afternoon and did not return home until 10 at night.
(He studied for an hour in the morning, worked all
afternoon and did not return home until 10 o'clock
at night.)

6. 3. We also use it for repeated or habitual actions in the
past, as the imperfect Spanish tense is used.
Examples:
We always traveled to Cancun for a vacation when we
were young. (We always traveled to Cancun during the
holidays when we were young.)
I've walked 5 kilometers every day to work. (I walked 5
miles to work each day.)
4. We use it for narrations or actions of periods of long
time in the past, like the imperfect Spanish tense.
Examples:
I worked for many years in a museum. (I worked in a
museum for many years.)
She did not eat meat for 6 years. (I did not eat meat for 6
years.)

7. 5. It is used to speak of generalities or facts of the past.
Examples:
The Aztec lived in Mexico. (The Aztecs lived in Mexico)
I played the guitar when I was a child. He played guitar when he
was a kid.
Both belong to one of three conjugations in
Spanish, those that end in air (to love, to be or to
play), those that finish in er (pleasure, to protect or
to be worth) and those that finish in go (to sleep, to
leave or to go).

8. Those who do not change their root when conjugating them
are regular verbs. The verb (Amar) keeps the root am in any of
its forms (love, love, love ...). In contrast, irregular verbs do
have alterations in their root in some of their forms (the verb
fit, it would be I quepo, I cabré or I cupe).
If we say that a verb is regular, this implies that it follows a
pattern, the same scheme. Consequently, it is easier to use
them in their different forms. The irregular ones are not
subject to a pattern or model, they are changing. Thus, it is
more difficult to combine them correctly and it is frequent
to make mistakes when using them; Especially if the
speaker is a foreigner and not familiar with the language.
