We use the Simple Past to list a series of completed actions in the past. These actions happen 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and so on.

Kami menggunakan Simple Past untuk daftar serangkaian tindakan diselesaikan di masa lalu. Tindakan ini terjadi 1, 2, 3, 4, dan seterusnya.

USE 3 Duration in Past

The Simple Past can be used with a duration which starts and stops in the past. A duration is a longer action often indicated by expressions such as: for two years, for five minutes, all day, all year, etc.

The Simple Past dapat digunakan dengan durasi yang mulai dan berhenti di masa lalu. Durasi adalah tindakan lagi sering ditandai dengan ekspresi seperti: selama dua tahun, selama lima menit, sepanjang hari, sepanjang tahun, dll

USE 4 Habits in the Past

The Simple Past can also be used to describe a habit which stopped in the past. It can have the same meaning as "used to." To make it clear that we are talking about a habit, we often add expressions such as: always, often, usually, never, when I was a child, when I was younger, etc.

The Simple Past juga dapat digunakan untuk menggambarkan kebiasaan yang berhenti di masa lalu. Hal ini dapat memiliki arti yang sama seperti "dulu." Untuk membuat jelas bahwa kita berbicara tentang kebiasaan, kita sering menambahkan ekspresi seperti: selalu, sering, biasanya, tidak pernah, ketika saya masih kecil, ketika saya masih muda, dll

Examples:

USE 5 Past Facts or Generalizations

The Simple Past can also be used to describe past facts or generalizations which are no longer true. As in USE 4 above, this use of the Simple Past is quite similar to the expression "used to."

The Simple Past juga dapat digunakan untuk menggambarkan fakta-fakta masa lalu atau generalisasi yang tidak lagi benar. Seperti dalam USE 4 di atas, penggunaan ini dari Simple Past sangat mirip dengan ungkapan "dulu."

Examples:

IMPORTANT When-Clauses Happen First

Clauses are groups of words which have meaning but are often not complete sentences. Some clauses begin with the word "when" such as "when I dropped my pen..." or "when class began..." These clauses are called when-clauses, and they are very important. The examples below contain when-clauses.

Examples:

• When I paid her one dollar, she answered my question.
• She answered my question when I paid her one dollar.

When-clauses are important because they always happen first when both clauses are in the Simple Past. Both of the examples above mean the same thing: first, I paid her one dollar, and then, she answered my question. It is not important whether "when I paid her one dollar" is at the beginning of the sentence or at the end of the sentence. However, the example below has a different meaning. First, she answered my question, and then, I paid her one dollar.

Example:

• I paid her one dollar when she answered my question.

ADVERB PLACEMENT

The examples below show the placement for grammar adverbs such as: always, only, never, ever, still, just, etc.

Examples:

• You just called Debbie.
• Did you just call Debbie?

ACTIVE / PASSIVE

Examples:

• Tom repaired the car. Active
• The car was repaired by Tom. Passive
