The simple past tense is used to talk about a completed action in a

time before now. The simple past is the basic form of past tense in
English. The time of the action can be in the recent past or the distant
past and action duration is not important.

• He lived in France for two years.


• He paid dinner yesterday.

Both these sentences are in the simple past tense.


HOW TO FORM A SIMPLE PAST?

FOR REGULAR VERBS:


To simply use the base form of the verb and we add “ed”.

EXAMPLES :
• You played the piano yesterday.
• She cooked dinner
• We walked to school
• They played the piano

WE NEED TO PAY EXTRA ATTENTION TO VERBS THAT END IN AN –E”

For example : live, close,wipe,etc.


With these verbs , we use the infinitive form of the verb and we only add a “d”
For example :
• They lived in Argentina.
• He closed the door .
WE ALSO NEED TO PAY EXTRA ATTENTION TO VERBS THAT END IN A “Y”
Especially those preceded by a consonant such as ( study, etc)

Here the “Y” changes into an “I”


For example:
He studied very hard for his exams.

SIMPLE PAST FOR IRREGULAR VERBS

ALL IRREGULAR VERBS HAVE A UNIQUE


SIMPLE PAST FORM. THERE ARE NO RULES FOR
IRREGULAR VERBS , YOU MUST
For example : SIMPLY LERAN THEM

• She took a trip ( to take)


• She went to Cusco ( to go)
SIMPLE PAST IN QUESTION
FOR ALL VERBS REGULAR AND IRREGULAR:

We use the auxiliary verb to do , but we need the past simple tense
which is did and the infinitive form of verb .
For example:
Did she talk to him this morning?
Did he work on the farm last year?

PAST SIMPLE IN NEGATIONS


FOR ALL VERBS REGULAR AND IRREGULAR:

We also use the past simple tense of the auxiliary verb to do which is did and we
add not to it, contracting it into didn’t plus the infinitive form of the verb.
EXAMPLES:
• They didn’t walk to school this morning.
• He didn’t take a trip last summer.
USE 1: COMPLETED ACTION IN THE PAST

Use the Simple Past to express the idea that an action started and finished at a
specific time in the past. Sometimes, the speaker may not actually mention the
specific time
EXAMPLES:
• Last night , I watched televisión.
• He washed his car.

USE 2 : A SERIES OF COMPLETED ACTIONS

We use the Simple Past to list a series of completed actions in the past. These
actions happen 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and so on.
EXAMPLES:
• I finished work, walked to the beach, and found a nice place to swim.
• I went to France, I bought a camera and I took some photographs.
FUNCTION: USING THE SIMPLE PAST TO DESCRIBE A
VACATION

FOR EXAMPLE:

Last year during my vacation time I went to cartagena, I stayed for a week in my sister's house.
There, I visited many interesting places and I met many people from different countries. I
travelled with my girlfriend and we really enjoyed the trip. We visited san felipe de baraja’s
castle which is a historical fort that spanish people built many years ago. We also visited the
“ciudad amurallada” and the “centro histórico” of the city; that was a very exciting experience
because we learnt very much. One of the things I liked the most, was the sea, the weather was
very sunny and hot. We swam a lot during our last days before returning. When we came back,
we told to our parents about the experience and we were very happy for our holydays.

The Simple Past can be used with a duration which starts and stops in the past. A
duration is a longer action often indicated by expressions such as: for two years, for
five minutes, all day, all year, etc.
EXAMPLES:
• We waited the bus for one hour.
• He lived in Piura for five years.

USE 4: HABITS IN THE PAST

The Simple Past can also be used to describe a habit which stopped in the past. It
can have the same meaning as "used to." To make it clear that we are talking about
a habit, we often add expressions such as: always, often, usually, never, when I was
a child, when I was younger, etc.
EXAMPLES:
• Carlos studied French when I was a child.
• She used to ride bicycle.

It relates the fact that the past was better,


because when we were children we did not
have problems, we did not suffer from
loves, disappointments and games. It is
about yearning for yesterday.
