Imagine someone asks what your brother Wolfgang did while he was in town last weekend.
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 emphasizes that the action is finished.
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.

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 the verb to be, the simple past forms are more erratic:

See→Saw 
Build→Built 
Go→Went 
Do→Did 
Rise→Rose 
Am/Is/Are→Was/Were]]> 2018-09-12 22:55:35 UTC https://padlet.com/beltran_taisha/hmf5uvz51lk7/wish/280598400 beltran_taisha https://padlet.com/beltran_taisha/hmf5uvz51lk7/wish/280608776 2018-09-13 00:04:54 UTC https://padlet.com/beltran_taisha/hmf5uvz51lk7/wish/280608776
