Study Notes
The past simple tense in English is formed by adding 'ed' to the verb's base form. It is used to describe an action that occurred in the past and is now completed. Questions in the past simple tense are formed by using the question word and the verb in its past form. For example, "What did you do yesterday?" or "Did you finish your homework?"
In the past simple tense, the verb form is used to describe a completed action in the past. This tense is often used when talking about events that happened in the past, such as "I ate breakfast at 7 am yesterday." It can also be used to describe a habitual or repeated action that occurred regularly in the past, such as "I used to go to London every Christmas."
The past simple tense has four aspects: simple, continuous, perfect, and perfect continuous. The simple aspect is used for completed actions, the continuous aspect is used for ongoing actions in the past, the perfect aspect is used for actions that started in the past but have some connection to the present, and the perfect continuous aspect is used to show that an action has been in progress since a specific point in time.
To form questions in the past simple tense, the subject is typically found before the verb, and the verb is in its past form. For example, "What did you do yesterday?" or "Did you finish your homework?"
