GRAMMAR 2

Simple Past Tense
• We use the simple past tense to show that a completed action took place at a specific time in the past.
• We usually use this tense to talk about past habits and generalizations.
• For regular verbs, we use the ‘’verb + ed’’ to form affirmative sentences. However, this rule does not work for
irregular verbs. It will be useful for you to study the irregular verb list.
