1. Past Simple

The first past tense you’ll often learn in your English classes is the past simple.

Form

For regular verbs we add -ed to the infinitive form of the verb. E.g.

Irregular verbs however, take a different form. There are hundreds of irregular verbs and you just have to learn them off by heart! Here are some of the most common:

Use

The main use of the past simple is for finished actions in the past. For example:

I was born in San Francisco.

I cleaned my room.

I forgot my key.

We can use it with a finished time phrase like in the sentences below:

Yesterday I went to the supermarket.

Last night we watched the football.

The phone rang five minutes ago.

Other common time expressions you can use are:

last month, last week, last summer, in 1997, when I was a child, a long time ago, on Monday, in February etc.

We also use the past simple for the main action when telling a story.

E.g. I woke up on my wedding day, I jumped out of bed and immediately called my brother. He didn’t pick up and so I began to worry.

When two continuous actions are happening at the same time we use the time expression while.

We can also use it to show a continuous action happening at a specific time in the past.

A. The film had started when we arrived. (the film started before we arrived)
