The Past simple tense describes an action that happened before the present time and is no longer happening.

The action time can be in the recent or distant past, and the action duration is unimportant.

How to formulate the simple past?

For regular verbs, add -ed to the root form of the verb; if the root form already ends in an e, add- d only.

For irregular verbs, things get a bit complicated.

The verb to be in the past simple 

The past tense of To Be in English has two forms: WAS and WERE

For I, he, she, and it, we use was.

For you, we, and they, we use were.

Past Simple- Negative Form

In the negative form, we use the past simple to deny situations that occurred and finished in the past.

The past simple of both regular and irregular verbs in their negative form has this structure:
Subject + did + not + verb + …

The negative form of “to be” in past simple

In negative sentences, add the adverb not and put it before the word was/were.
