The Past Simple tense is used to talk about actions that happened in the past.

It is often formed by adding  -ed to regular verbs, such as played or watched.

However, there are many irregular verbs, like go → went or have → had.

We usually use time expressions like yesterday, last week, or in 2010.

For example: She visited her grandmother yesterday.

To make negatives, we use did not (didn’t) + base verb, e.g. He didn’t eat pizza.

For questions, we use Did + subject + base verb?, e.g. Did you see the movie?

The Past Simple is the same for all subjects: I worked, You worked, They worked.

It is very common in storytelling or describing past experiences.

Mastering the Past Simple helps you communicate clearly about events that are finished.
