Uses-Simple past
We use the simple past to express that something has ended
or been completed, and that the period of time in which it
happened has also ended. Sometimes it is confused with the
present perfect, but, unlike this, in the simple past the
distance between that moment in which what is narrated
happened and the current moment is clearly marked
Other uses of the simple past
Could, the past form of can, can indicate not only distance in
time, but also serves to mark another type of distance and
make a more formal and polite sentence

situations in a specific time
