Tense in a Nutshell

Past Simple

Why do we use it?

We use the past tense to talk about:

• Something that happened once in the past
• Something that happened several times in the past
• Something that was true for some time in the past
  
• we often use expressions with ago with the past
  

Examples:
I met my wife in 1983. (it happened once)

We swam a lot while we were on holiday. (it happened several times)

I lived abroad for ten years. (it was true for some time in the past)
