A. BACKGROUND

English is an International language. By mastering English well, we will be able to

communicate with other nations in this world. In addition, we will also be able to
increase our insight and knowledge for the progress of our nation and country,
because we will be able to read English literature, listen to foreign radio broadcasts,
and watch films, adding insight into other sciences. Thus, in the end we can master

also a rule in English. If a person wants to master English well, then he must be able

past tense.

In pesri, we as a student are really encouraged by our school to learn English

chronological language. English speakers simply always need to know when some
action or event took place. Chronology, or events and dates set in order of their
happening, is expressed by English speakers through verb tenses. Each tense indicates
the connection between two or more time periods or the exact time an activity
occurred, which underlines the importance of English grammar tenses. They can be
used to create different meanings from the same verbs and help to anchor the listener
understand the meaning behind your story. Actually tenses are also being teached at

DISCUSSION

1. What Is Past Tense?

Past tense is a sentence used to express past sentences or events that have occurred,
Examples of past tense sentences are 1 hour ago, yesterday, a week ago, and events that have
already happened. Simple Past Tense is a sentence used to talk about an event that happened
in the past and has ended in the past. Simple Past Tense uses Verb 2.

2. What Is The Formula For Simple Past Tense?

 A. Verbal Simple Past

Subject + Verb 2 + Object

Example :
- She joined the English club class at school
yesterday.
Positive (+)
- Abdul went to Bali for holiday last
Sunday.
- My mother cooked grilled fish this
morning.

Subject + Did + not + Verb 1 + Object

Example :
- Arini did not attend my birthday party last
Negative (-) month.
- I did not sleep well last night.
- You did not pay the tax last year.

Did + Subject + Verb 1 + Object

Example :
Interrogative (?) - Did he clean your room yesterday?
- Did they swim in the river last weekend?
- Did you stay aunt’s house last Monday?
In the Simple Past Tense the second verb (Verb 2) is only used in positive sentences.
If the form of the sentence is negative and it is a question then return to the first basic verb
(Verb 1) by adding did before the verb.

B. Nominal Past Tense

Subject + to be (was/were) + Non Verb

Example :
Positive (+) - She was sick last week.
- They were home last night.

Subject + to be (was/were) + Not + Non

 Verb
Negative (-) Example :
- She wasn’t sick last week.
- They weren’t home last night.
- We weren’t so happy the other day.

To be (was/were) + Subject + Non Verb

Example :
- Was she sick last week?
Interrogative (?) - Were they home last night?

# Was used for subject I, She, He, It.

# Were used for subject You, They, We.
