that were carried out in the past and are no
longer carried out in the present
In the simple past tense, we use past verbs (V2), such
as spent, went, and prepared. The verb 'prepared' is
called a regular verb, while irregular verbs. 'spent' and

'was' and 'were' are 'to be' in the simple past tense
We use the simple past tense to express events that occurred or
ended in the past. It is related to specific time expressions: definite
time (yesterday, last week, last night) and indefinite time (the other
day, ages ago, a moment ago).
