​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

Regular verbs are usually added an –ed ending after the root verb for the past tense, whereas irregular verbs do not follow this general rule. Below are some examples of regular and irregular verbs:

​Language Expressions

Jenny  : How was your weekend?

Gary  : It was pretty boring, actually. I visited my parents on Saturday and I studied all day yesterday. Last night I was so tired I went to bed early. How about you? What did you do?

Jenny  : Sherry and I went out Saturday night.

Gary  : So, what did you do?

Jenny  : Oh, we went to the movies.

Gary  : What did you watch?

Jenny  : We watched “Gone with the Wind”.

Garry  : Oh, I watched that movie last year. I didn’t like it much, though.
