past simple(simple past tense) is one of the most common tenses in the English language. By using past simple we can convey events that took place in the past, and in some cases, events in the present. Therefore, at any level of ownership English language you will learn something new about past simple.
How is the Past Simple formed?
Statement
In order to form past simple, we add the ending to the verb - ed if the verb is correct ( work - worked, learn - learned, ask - asked). If the verb is irregular, then we are looking for a form for past simple in the second column tables of irregular verbs. Most likely, at first it will be difficult for you to immediately determine which verb is in front of you. You will find the irregular verb in the table. If it's not there, it's correct. Negation
In a negative sentence past simple auxiliary verb appears did(second form of irregular verb do) and particle not. AT English sentence only one verb can be in the past tense, so as soon as it appears did, the main verb takes the form of an infinitive without a particle to (go, look, feel). In colloquial speech did and not combined to form an abbreviated form didn't:
- He didn't tell.
- We didn't discuss.
To ask a question in past simple, we put in the first place did, followed by the subject, then the main verb. Verbto beinpast simple
As you already know, to be- this is irregular verb, so the form of the past tense must be remembered. But in the past tense, he has not one form, like all other verbs, but two: was(for singular nouns and pronouns) and were(for plural nouns and pronouns). In denial was (were) combines with not and forms an abbreviated form:
- I wasn't at work.
- They weren't happy.
Let us immediately pay attention to the fact that the main functions past simple and present simple match. We only need to transfer the action from the present to the past.
- past simple shows a fact in the past or a single action that ended in the past.
I saw him yesterday. - I saw his yesterday. (single action in the past, already ended yesterday)
The Titanic sank in 1912. - Titanic sunk in 1912. (fact)
He went to Italy last month. - He traveled to Italy last month. (single action in the past)
Words indicating the duration of an action may not be used in this function.
She spoke to him in a low voice. - She is quiet spoke with him. (single action in the past)
Aivazovsky painted"the Ninth Wave". - Aivazovsky wrote painting "The Ninth Wave". (fact)
- Also past simple used to describe a state in the past.
Museum had a great collection of paintings. - In that museum was huge collection of paintings. (now the museum does not have a huge collection)
- We use past simple to talk about old habits and repetitive activities. These actions have repeatedly occurred in the past, but are no longer being committed. Such sentences may contain adverbs often(often), sometimes(sometimes), always(always), etc.
He always bought newspapers on Sunday. - He always bought newspapers on Sundays. (he doesn't do it now)
- We can also use the used to construct when talking about old habits.
- We use past simple when telling a story or listing several events that happened one after the other in the past.
He entered the café, he ordered a cup of tea and a piece of cake. - He has entered in the cafe, ordered a cup of tea and a piece of cake.
Where else is the Past Simple found?
- We use past simple to tell the details of some news or some event that happened in our lives. We report the news itself in time Present Perfect. We can use other past tenses to give details, but past simple used in these cases more often than others.
I've got this job. It was a hard and exhausting interview, but it turned out that I was a perfect applicant. - I got this job. it It was hard, exhausting interview, but it turned out that I'm the perfect candidate.
- past simple used in subordinate tenses after conjunctions after(after), before(before), when(when), until(not yet) as soon as(once). In such a proposal past simple shows completed action in the past.
He was astonished when I told him the news. - He was amazed when I informed him this news.
