    The document describes two simple past tenses in English - the simple past and past progressive. The simple past is used to describe an action that was completed at a specific time in the past, with examples like "Marie moved to Paris in 1891." The past progressive describes an action that was in progress at a specific past time, possibly beginning before and ending after that time, with examples such as "She was studying at the library." Both tenses are demonstrated through affirmative and negative statements and yes/no and WH- questions.
