The simple past is a verb tense that is used to talk about things that happened or existed before now. Imagine someone asks you what your brother Wolfgang did while he was in town last weekend.

Write with Grammarly

The simple past tense shows that you are talking about something that has already happened. Unlike the past continuous tense, which is used to talk about past events that happened over a period of time, the simple past tense indicates that the action occurred at a certain time and then was completed.

You can also use the simple past to talk about a past state of being, such as the way someone felt about something. This is often expressed with the simple past tense of the verb to be and an adjective, noun, or prepositional phrase.

How to form the simple past

For regular verbs, add -ed to the root form of the verb (or just -d if the root form ends in an e):

Play→Played

Type→Typed

Listen→Listened

Push→Pushed

Love→Loved

For irregular verbs, things get more complicated. The simple past tense of some irregular verbs looks exactly like the root form:

Put→Put

Cut→Cut

Set→Set

Cost→Cost

Hit→Hit

For other irregular verbs, including to be, the simple past forms are more erratic:

See→Saw

Build→Built

Do→Did

Rise→Rose

Am/Is/Are→Was/Were

The good news is that verbs in the simple past tense (except for to be) don't need to agree in number with their subjects.

How to make the simple past negative

Fortunately, there is a formula for making simple past verbs negative, and it's the same for both regular and irregular verbs (except for the verb to be). The formula is did not + [root form of verb]. You can also use the contraction didn't instead of did not.

For the verb to be, you don't need the auxiliary did. When the subject of the sentence is singular, use was not or wasn't. When the subject is plural, use were not or weren't.

The fourth-place winner wasn't happy at all.

The onlookers were not ready to leave after the contest ended.

The contestants weren't ready to leave either.

How to ask a question

The formula for asking a question in the simple past tense is did + [subject] + [root form of verb].
Did Wolfgang win Did the judges decide fairly, in your opinion? Was Did people take lots of pictures? Wolfgang in a good mood after the contest? the gold medal or the silver medal?
When asking a question with the verb to be, you don't need the auxiliary did. The formula is was/were + [subject].
