PAST SIMPLE

 

The "simple past" is used to talk about an action that ended in a time before the current one. The duration is not relevant. The time in which the action takes place can be the recent past or the distant past.

Example

• John Cabot sailed to America in 1498.
• My father died last year.
• He lived in Fiji in 1976.
• We crossed the Channel yesterday.

The "simple past" is always used to refer to when something happened, so it is associated with certain temporal expressions that indicate:
