Structure
SIMPLE PAST TENSE
We use the Simple Past Tense to talk about actions or situations in the
past. Very often the Simple Past ends in - ed.
e.g.
I enjoyed the party very much last night.
Mr. Edward died ten years ago.
When I lived in Manchester, I worked in a bank.
But many important verbs are irregular. This means that the Past simple does
not end in -ed.
e.g.
We all left the party at 11 o’clock.
Yesterday I went to London to see a friend of mine.
In the Simple Past Tense we use did/didn’t + the infinitive for questions and
negatives sentences.
e.g.
Did you have enough time to write the letter last weekend, Yudi?
I didn’t have much money to buy anything to eat today.
