The language: the Perfect Simple
The past simple tense describes actions or states that started and finished at a specific time in the past, used for completed events, sequences of past actions, or past habits/situations, often with time markers like ‘yesterday’ or ‘last week’.
It is formed with regular verbs by adding ‘-ed’ (walked) or with irregular verbs changing form (went, ate), and negatives use ‘didn’t’ + base verb (didn’t walk).
