Simple past → ただ昔のことを話す

• Simple past is just saying that something happened. It doesn’t tell us exactly when something happened — just that it did.

• シンプル過去形は、ただ「何かが起こった」と言うことです。正確にいつ起こったかは教えてくれず、「起こった」という事実だけを伝えます。

Simple past Examples:

• I played soccer.

• I ate sushi.

• I finished my homework.
