Simple Past

What is the past simple?
The simple past, or past simple, is one of the most important
tenses in the English language and, unlike Spanish, where past
tense verbs have very different conjugations, in English there are
verbs that retain their form both in present as past, and the most
irregular come to have only up to three forms.
When to use the
past simple

The past simple is used for sentences in which

the idea, act, or state has already been
completed. It could have ended five minutes
ago or five centuries ago, the end time does
not matter, the only important thing is that it is
talking about something that no longer
happens or exists in the present.
 Regular
and
irregular verbs
As they are?
 Regular verbs in
English are those that
only need to add the
Regular verbs ending “ed” to form
their past tense and
participle.
 They are called irregular
because they modify their
root completely, either in
their past simple or
participle form or both.
Unlike regular verbs, you
don't have to include -d or
Irregular verbs -ed, but their spelling
changes remarkably. In this
case there is no other
choice but to learn the
different forms, but with
reading and practice the
task is easier.
