FORM OF PAST SIMPLE TENSE

 

Forming a sentence in the Past Simple is easy. To form a declarative sentence, all you need is the subject of the sentence (e.g. I, you, he, a dog) and the past form of your verb (e.g. was, talked, swam). Questions and negative sentences are only a little more difficult, because they require an auxiliary verb.

Subject                                  +               Verb (past form)

e.g. he, she, a dog, etc.                                        e.g. walked, went, took, etc.

  Examples :

I lived in New York for 10 years.
Mike walked in, looked around and smiled to us.
He married a woman who lived in the same village.
I ate the cake yesterday.
I saw two colorful fishes in the lake yesterday.
