What Is The Past Tense?

The simple past tense, in English, is used to represent an

action/event that took place in the past. With many verbs,

the simple past tense is formed by adding an ‘ed’ or a ‘d’ to

the end of the base verb. However, there are other verbs

which behave differently and take different spellings when

used in the simple past form.

The past tense is a verb tense used for a past activity or a

past state of being.

For example:

I jumped in the lake. (This is a past activity.)

I was happy. (This is a past state of being.)
