The past simple, also known as the simple past tense, is a verb tense used to describe

completed actions or states that occurred in the past. It is often used to talk about
specific events or actions that happened at a definite time in the past.
To form the past simple tense, regular verbs typically add "-ed" to the base form of the
verb. For example:

 Walk (base form) --> Walked (past simple)

 Talk (base form) --> Talked (past simple)

However, irregular verbs have their own unique past simple forms that do not follow a
regular pattern. For example:

 Go (base form) --> Went (past simple)

 Eat (base form) --> Ate (past simple)

Here are some examples of sentences using the past simple tense:

1. I visited my grandparents last weekend.

2. She bought a new car yesterday.
3. They watched a movie at the cinema last night.
4. He studied for his exams all night.
5. We played soccer in the park yesterday.

In these examples, the past simple tense is used to indicate that the actions happened in
the past and are now completed. It is important to note that the past simple tense does
not indicate the duration or frequency of an action, but simply states that it occurred in
the past.
