SIMPLE PAST TENSE :
Secara umum tenses Simple Past digunakan untuk menyatakan sebuah
aktifitas/kegiatan yang dimulai dan diakhiri pada waktu tertentu di masa
lampau. Kata kerjanya selalu menggunakan kata kerja yang kedua.
Contoh :
(a) I walked to school yesterday
(b) He bought a new computer five years ago
(c) She went to my house last night
Simple Past juga menyatakan suatu kegiatan yang pernah dilakukan di masa
lampau namun pada saat sekarang kegiatan itu tidak dilakukannya lagi.
Contoh :
(a)
I was a
student junior high school in 1984.
(b) He was a debt collector but
now not anymore.
Jika dalam sebuah kalimat terdapat dua klausa dalam bentuk simple past
dan menggunakan kata when, maka klausa
yang menggunakan kata when tersebut terjadi lebih dulu.
Contoh :
(a) I stood under a tree when it
began to rain.
(b) When she heard a strange
noise, she got up to investigate.
(c) When I dropped my cup, the
coffee spilled on my lap.

*Kesimpulan : Tenses
Simple Past, dalam membentuk kalimat positive selalu menggunakan kata kerja
kedua, tapi pada saat dirubah menjadi kalimat negative dan interrogative, kata
kerjanya kembali ke bentuk kata kerja pertama.
*Perbedaan Last dan
Ago :
last diikuti keterangan yang tidak tentu, seperti last month yang artinya
bulan lalu, bulan lalu disini disebutkan secara umum dan tidak spesifik seberapa
tepatnya pada bulan lalunya. Sedangkan ago menerangkan waktu yang pasti,
seperti two weeks ago yang artinya dua minggu lalu, dua minggu yang lalu di
sini disebutkan secara spesifik dan tidak membutuhkan perkiraan berapa minggu
karena sudah jelas jumlah minggu disebut yaitu dua.
Kata-kata yang sering dipakai dalam tenses ini
antara lain :
Yesterday/kemarin two months ago/dua bulan lalu
Yesterday morning/kemarin pagi a
century ago/seabad yang lalu
Last night/tadi malam two centuries ago/sepanjang pagi
Last week/ minggu lalu
on Saturday morning/pada
sabtu pagi
Last month/bulan lalu
the day before yesterday/kemarin
dulu
Last year/tahun lalu last
summer/musim panas lalu
Last monday/senin lalu
a few minutes ago/semenit
yang lalu
Two hours ago/dua jam lalu
One day ago/sehari jam lalu
Two weeks ago/dua minggu lalu
