Past simple tense, one of the elementary past tenses in the English language. I am going to show you how the form a past simple tense and when to use a past simple tense.
But before we get started it’s good to know that in the English language we have regular and irregular verbs, and it is advisable that you study the most commonly used irregular verbs.
Now let’s get started. Take a look at these sentences:
I walked to school yesterday.
He paid for dinner last week.
Both these sentences are in the past simple tense. How to form a past simple tense?
For the regular verbs we simply use the infinitve form of the verb and add ‘ed’.
I kicked the ball.
You closed the door.He wiped the table.
She cooked dinner.
It rained yesterday.
For the plural forms:
We walked to school.
You watched the tennis match.
They marked the tests.
We need to pay extra attention to verbs that end in an ‘e’ such as live, close and wipe.
With these verbs we use the infinitive form of the verb, but we only add a ‘d’.
For example
I lived here in 2012.
He closed the window.
They wiped the floor.
We also need to pay extra attention to verbs that end in a ‘y’. Especially those preceded by a consonant, such as spy, envy and study. The consonants being a ‘p’ a ‘v’ and a ‘d’.Here the ‘y’ changes into an ‘i’.
For example
He spied on his neighbours.
We envied her cousin.
They studied a lot.
Now let’s have a look at the irregular verbs. Aall irregular verbs have a unique past simple tense form.
I built that shed last year, the inifinive form is to build.
She taught English in the 1990s the infinitive form is to teach.
We ran the marathon in 2012.The infinitive form is ‘to run.’
Let’s have alook at the past simple tense in questions.For all verbs, regular end irregular, we use the auxiliary verb ‘to do’, but we need the past simple tense, which is did and the infinitive form of the verb.
Did she talk to him this morning?
Did you ride your bicycles yesterday?
Did they work on the farm last year?
For the past simple tense in negations, regular and irregular we also use the past simple tense of the auxiliary verb ‘to do’, which is did and we add ‘not’ to it, contracting it into ‘didn’t plus the infinitive form of the verb.
I didn’t want to come over the last night.
We didn’t to walk to school this morning.
They didn’t listen to the radio yesterday.
Let’s have a look at the past simple tense in use.We use the past simple tense for things that have happened at a specific time in the past, so we need to know when it happened.

For example: yesterday, this morning or in 2009.
He left for New York yesterday.
We ate our breakfast this morning.
They got married in 2009.
We also use the past simple tense in questions after ‘when’.
When did you buy that tshirt?
When did you graduate from high school?
I thank you for your attention.

Target English Grammar:
Past Continuous Tense vs. Past Simple Tense. (Also known as Past Progressive Tense and Simple Past Tense)
Student Proficiency Level:
Preintermediate level grammar

– Pause the video whenever the narrator asks students a question to give students time to answer. For example, after elicitations and concept checking questions (CCQs).
Summary of English Grammar: Past Continuous Tense vs. Past Simple
Approximate chronological order:
Storyline:
– Starts at 0:00. Ends at 2:40.
English Grammar Rules and Explanations:
Function:
– To talk about an action still in progress in the past.
Timeline:
– Someone was chasing her.
– Someone started chasing her in the past, but we don’t know when.
– That person stopped chasing her some time in the past. Again, we don’t know when.
– We are talking about the whole period from the beginning of the chase to the end.
Specific Uses:
– Background event:
– On a cold dark night, Elissa was working late at the office.
– This sentence sets the setting and the background of the story.
Simple Past:
– To talk about completed or repeated actions.
– She quickly ran into the cemetery.
– This action is finished and completed.
– When we use two simple past actions, the second action happened after the first action. For example,
– She quickly ran into the cemetery and hid there.
– So she ran into the cemetery first, then she hid inside the cemetery.
Combining the Past Progressive Tense with the Simple Past:
– Past progressive = longer action
– Past simple = shorter action
– The shorter action happened while the longer action was still in progress. But sometimes these two actions happen at the same time.
– Example: As she was leaving her office, she realised the streets were now empty.
– Elissa leaving her office is the longer action.
– Elissa realising the streets were empty is the shorter action.
– So Elissa was leaving her office and during this time, she noticed the streets were now empty. But she didn’t stop leaving the office when she noticed this.
Specific Uses:
– Interruption: Sometimes a shorter action interrupted a longer action.
– Example: While she was walking back home, she heard some footsteps behind her. She turned around to look.
– Elissa walking back home is the longer action.
– Hearing the footsteps is the shorter action.
– In this case, the footsteps interrupted her walking and made her stop to look back before she continued walking again.
Multiple Progressive Actions in the Same Sentence:
– Multiple actions happening at the same time.
– Example: I was walking home and someone was following me.
– We don’t know which action started first.
– We also don’t know which action finished first.
– We only know that during a certain period in the past these two actions were happening at the same time.
– We can use more than two past progressive actions in the same sentence, and all these actions were happening at the same time some time in the past.
Form:
Statements:
Subject + was/were + verb (ing) + …
Elissa + was + working + late.
Yes/No Questions:
Was/were + subject + verb (ing) + …?
Was + Elissa + working + late?
Open Questions:
Wh/How + was/were + subject + verb (ing) + …?
Why + was + Elissa + working + late?
Conjunctions:
– We use conjunctions to join past simple and progressive actions.
– Example conjunctions: while, when, as.
– Example sentence 1: While she was walking back home, she heard some footsteps behind her.
– Example sentence 2: When Elissa was hiding, the footsteps stopped.
– Example sentence 3: As she was running, she saw a cemetery.
Switching the Order of the Tenses:
– We can also place the simple past action at the front of the sentence before the past continuous action.
– Example: She heard some footsteps behind her while she was walking back home.
