 SIMPLE PAST TENSE
Simple past tense is tense that serves to show the work that
happened in the past. Understanding tense is almost the same as
Simple Present Tense, only the time is different and is often also used in
conversation and writing.
Examples of past tense sentences are the events of 1 hour ago,
yesterday, a week ago, and events that have occurred.
Because this formula is simple, the formula is simple. We only need Verb-2 as
an absolute feature of the past tense formula. So the basic formula of the
verbal sentence is: S + Verb-2. As for nominal sentences, we must make "to be"
into verb-2, which is "was and were". Simple Past Tense uses the types of "TO BE
2" and "VERB 2". TO BE 2 consists of: was & were (for details, see the following
table).
 SIMPLE PAST TENSE USES THE TYPES OF "TO BE 2" AND "VERB 2". TO BE 2
CONSISTS OF: WAS & WERE (FOR DETAILS, SEE THE FOLLOWING TABLE).

I WAS
YOU
THE WERE
WE
SHE
HE WAS
IT

I
YOU
THE
WE Did/Din’t
SHE
HE
IT
 NOTE : DID
used in the question sentence.
DID NOT (DIDN'T) is used in negative sentences.
TO BE 2 (Was & Were) is used when a sentence has no verb element
(NON VERB).
VERB 2 is only used in positive sentences.
Express Simple Past Tense sentences that use verbs (VERB)
+ Subject + Verb 2 + Object
- Subject + DID NOT (DIDN'T) + Verb 1 + Object
? DID + Subject + Verb 1 + Object ?
? Question Word + DID + Subject + Verb 1 ?
EXAMPLE:
+ He bought a pair of shoes yesterday.
- He didn't buy a pair of shoes yesterday.
? Did he buy a pair of shoes yesterday?
Jawaban: Yes He did, atau No, He did not (didn't)

? Why did he buy a pair of shoes yesterday?
