​GRAMMAR

SIMPLE PAST TENSE​

​The Formula

​The simple past (also called past simple) is a verb tense which is used to show that a completed action took place at a specific time in the past. The simple past is also frequently used to talk about past habits and generalizations.

​

Forms: Subject + verb 2 (verb + ed)

​The Uses

​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, but they do have one specific time in mind.

​

•I saw a movie yesterday.

•Last year, I didn't travel to Korea.

•Did you have dinner last night?

​The Uses

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.

​

•I finished work, walked to the beach, and found a nice place to swim.

•He arrived from the airport at 8:00, checked into the hotel at 9:00, and met the others at 10:00.

​The Uses

USE 3: Duration in the Past

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.

​

•I lived in Brazil for two years.

•They sat at the beach all day.

•They did not stay at the party the entire time.

​The Uses

USE 4: Habits in the Past

The simple past can also be used to describe a habit which stopped in the past.

​

•Did you play a musical instrument when you were a kid?

•They never went to school, they always skipped class.

Regular and Irregular verbs in The Past Tense

​Language Expressions
