Definition:

The past simple is the verb tense that is used in the English language to narrate events that occurred at a specific time in the past.

Rules of the past tense:

To form the past simple of regular verbs in English, we have to add -ed to the infinitive without to. For this we will take into account the following rules:

1. In general we add -ed to all regular verbs.
wash →  wash ed          finish → finish ed              talk → talk ed

2. To the verbs that end in -e, we only add a -d.
like → liked live → lived

3. To the verbs that end in a consonant + -y, change the "y" for "i" and add -ed (= -ied)
study → studied carry → carried try → tried

4. Verbs that end in a vowel + -y add -ed.
play → played

Special cases

Verbs that end in vowel + consonant (stop, ban, occur, open, offer ...)

a) if the accent falls on the vowel of the last syllable, it is doubled
stop → stopped plan → planned ban → banned occur → occurred

Except for verbs that end in "y" and "w"
play → played show → showed

b) If the accent does NOT fall on the vowel of the last syllable, it is not doubled.
offer → offered open → opened

Except for verbs that end in "l" that double the "l" even though the accent does not fall on the last syllable.
travel → traveled cancel → canceled

Types of uses of the past simple(affirmative, negative and question-negative)

The past simple has different uses and types of sentences which are affirmative, negative and question-negative, each one has a different function

Affirmative:

It is used to form and express statements that were in the past tense

Examples:

My brother finished his homework.
Anne travelled to London.
John and Sam liked the show.

Negative:

Negative sentences in the past simple are used to deny some fact that has already happened.

Examples:

I didn't go for a run this morning.
Sophie didn't understand your question.
They didn't eat pizza yesterday.

The rule is did + not + verb in the infinitive without "to" .. In informal sentences, we abbreviate the not like this: didn't.

Interrogative:

the sentences in interrogatives in the past simple work to be able to ask questions related to events and happenings

Examples:

Did Peter get a present for his birthday?
Did they copy the homework?

Did they win the championship?

Example with auxiliar verb:

As we are talking about the past simple, the auxiliary verb must go in the past, changing from do or does, to did. The auxiliary did undergoes the change of verb tense, indicating that the preceding action has occurred at some point in the past.

Did is an auxiliary used in English in the verb tense called the simple past.

Examples:

Did he write this letter?
Did you see his face?
Did she go to the Paris in the August of 2008?

Example with auxiliar verb:

To correctly conjugate a verb in continuous past tense, in addition to conjugating the main verb with "-ing", it is necessary to use the help of the auxiliary verbs was and were, which are the past tense of the verb to be.

Examples:

He was flying all day.
They were dancing salsa when their baby woke up

It was raining yesterday when I came to pick you up
