Simple Past Tense

Simple past tense merupakan jenis tenses yang digunakan untuk menyatakan kejadian yang telah terjadi pada waktu tertentu di masa lalu.
– Jenis kejadian bisa pendek atau panjang.
– Juga bisa menjadi beberapa kejadian terjadi satu demi persatu.

Secara umum, Ada dua fakta penting yang perlu diingat dalam simple past tense ini :
– Ada ratusan macam kata kerja tak beraturan ( Irregular Verbs) dengan bentuk yang berbeda
– Bentuk kalimat negatif dan pertanyaan (interrogative) berbeda dengan bentuk kalimat positif contoh :
o You called Daniel
o Did you call Daniel?
o You did not call Daniel.

Pada contoh ada 3 kalimat negative dengan bentuk positif, negative, dan interrogative. Pada kalimat negative dan interrogative Kata kerja “call” tidak ditulis dalam bentuk Verb II karena sudah ada did sebagai penanda lampau sehingga kata kerja “call” ditulis dalam bentuk Verb I.
