The Past Simple tense, also called the Simple Past, is used for past actions that happened

either at a specific time, which can either be given by a time phrase (yesterday, last year, etc.) or understood from the context. Regular Verbs add -ed to the base form, or -d if the verbs ends with -e. Irregular verbs can change in many different ways. The verb form is the same for all persons: eg: I liked, you liked, she/he/it liked, we liked, they liked. NOTE: After the auxiliary verb, Did/Didn't, it returns to the base form: eg: Did you take it? eg: She didn't like it. Simple Past Tense digunakan untuk fakta-fakta atau peristiwa-peristiwa yang terjadi di masa lampau. Contoh: I played tennis with some guys from work yesterday. We stayed in Shanghai for five days. Kata kerja simple past tense (kata kerja bentuk ke-2) yang reguler dibentuk dengan menambahkan -ed pada akhiran kata kerja. Contoh: jump -> jumped: The dog jumped over the fence. walk -> walked: I walked 22 kilometers yesterday. work -> worked: We worked together as lawyers for 15 years. Kegunaan Simple past tense digunakan untuk menyatakan sebuah tindakan yang telah selesai dilakukan. Contoh: We watched a movie at the weekend (kami menonton film di akhir pekan) She arrived on Thursday (dia tiba hari Kamis) Waktu spesifik harus dinyatakan atau diisyaratkan. Contoh: I walked to work this morning - Dalam kalimat ini waktunya disebutkan I walked to work - Dalam kalimat ini waktu tidak disebutkan, tetapi konteks kalimatnya dapat membuat kita memahami waktu yang dimaksud (yakni waktu lampau). Kalimat negatif Kalimat negatif simple past tense dibuat dengan did dan not. Did adalah bentuk lampau dari kata kerja to do. Did dan not sering disingkat menjadi didnt. Contoh: - I arrived in London on Monday -> I didnt arrive on Sunday. - They stayed at the Vivaldi Hotel -> They didnt stay at the Carlton Hotel. Karena did merupakan bentuk lampau, maka kata kerja utama tidak mengalami perubahan. Contoh:

We didnt live in Italy. Did adalah bentuk lampau sehingga live tidak dirubah menjadi bentuk lampau. We didnt lived in Italy. Kalimat ini tidak benar Kalimat bertanya Pertanyaan dibuat dengan menempatkan did sebelum subjek. Contoh: You lived in Japan -> Did you live in Japan? They stayed at the Vivaldi Hotel -> Did they stay at the Vivaldi Hotel? Kata kerja utama juga tidak berubah (tidak diganti menjadi bentuk lampau), contoh: - You lived in Japan -> Did you lived in Japan? (tidak benar) - You lived in Japan -> Did you live in Japan? (benar) Kata kerja tidak beraturan Ada banyak kata kerja simple past tense yang tidak beraturan (irregular verbs) dalam bahasa Inggris, yakni tidak ditambahkan -ed. Berikut beberapa kata kerja tidak beraturan yang paling umum.
