Simple Past

É o tempo verbal que passa a ideia das coisas que já aconteceram e estão presas ao passado. É muito fácil conjugar, pois possui o mesmo formato para todas as pessoas: I played, he played, they played (eu joguei, ele jogou, eles jogaram)... Para formar o passado simples nós precisamos acrescentar “ed” no final dos verbos regulares.

Os verbos irregulares possuem formas diferentes, sendo assim, se faz necessário consultar uma lista de verbos irregulares:

Simple Present: I eat eggs every morning. (Eu como ovos todas as manhãs).

Simple Past: I ate eggs last morning. (Eu comi ovos na última manhã).

No exemplo acima o verbo “(to) eat” é irregular e possui sua forma no passado “ate”.
