Past simple

Als je over iets wilt praten dat in het verleden is gebeurd en ook is afgelopen, dan gebruik je de past simple.

Vaak wordt daar dan bij verteld wanneer het in het verleden was. Er wordt een tijdsaanduiding gebruikt. Voorbeelden hiervan zijn:

- yesterday

- this morning

- a week ago

- last year

- in 1995

Used to

Dat ziet er zo uit:

You used to study French.

He/she used to go to parties a lot.

We used to listen to that music.

They used to fight a lot.
