(SIMPLE PAST TENSE)

The simple past tense isused to describe actions that have happened at an earlier time and who have completed, for exemple:

• She cleaned her house.

• I brokethewindow.

In both forms (interrogative or negative) you must use the auxiliary “DID” which is the past of the verb “TO DO” and accompanies the main verb in its infinitive form.

• He lost the keys.

(It’s posible that he could find them in the present)

• She lent me a book.

(It’s posible that she would already return it).
