Simple Past Tense

Definisi Simple Past Tense

Seorang ahli bahasa inggris mendefinisikan Simple Past Tense sebagai berikut:

“Simple Past is used to talk about an activity or situation that began and ended at a particular time in the past. (e.g.,yesterday, last night, days ago, in 1999)” – Azar, 2003

Simple Past digunakan untuk berbicara tentang suatu kegiatan atau situasi yang dimulai dan berakhir pada waktu tertentu di masa lampau. (contoh. yesterday, lastnight, days ago, in 1999).

Pada Simple Past Tense, verb atau kata kerja yang digunakan adalah verb II. Biasanya, sebagian besar adalah regular verb atau verb/kata kerja dibentuk dengan menambahkan akhiran -ed pada verb/kata kerja.
contoh:

• She played badminton yesterday.
• We studied English lastweek.

Atau beberapa verbs yang digunakan diantara nya adalah irregular verbs (kata kerja tidak beraturan)
contoh:

• I ate breakfast this morning.
• Jhonny took my book lastnight.
