    The past simple tense is used to describe completed actions that happened before now. For regular verbs, the past simple form is the base verb plus "-ed", such as "washed". Irregular verbs have unique past forms like "went" and "had". The past simple is used with time expressions that indicate a specific or indefinite time in the past, including "yesterday", "last week", and "when I was a child". It can also denote frequency of past actions with words like "often" and "sometimes".
