    SIMPLE PAST TENSE

    DEFENITION
    Simple past tense verbs—
    also called past simple or
    preterite—show action
    that occurred and was
    completed at a particular
    time in the past.
    FUNGTION
    The function of the simple past tense is
    to indicate an action, event, or state
    that began and concluded in the past,
    for example, “I was happy last night.” It
    allows you to describe things that have
    happened in the past and differentiate
    them from the present or future.
    FORMULA
    ● Positive: Subject + verb 2.
    Negative: Subject + did not +
    present verb/verb 1,
    Interrogative: Did + subject +
    present verb/verb 1 + ?
    EXAMPLE

    Verb Nominal
    (+)My mom and I went to the zoo yesterday (+) We were late yesterday
    (-) My mother and I didn’t go to the zoo yesterday (-) We all didn’t come late
    (?) Did i and my mom go to the zoo yesterday? yesterday
    (?) Did you all come late
    yesterday
    THANK
    YOU
