Das Past Simple ist die Zeitform, die in der Regel Handlungen in der Vergangenheit ausdrückt, die bereits beendet sind.
Die Bildung des Past Simples ist einfach, wobei es hier viele unregelmässige Verben gibt, die man lernen muss.
Positive Aussagen:
I/you/we/they played
he/she/it played
Wichtig ist, dass bei der positiven Form bei he/she/it nie ein S hinzugefügt wird wie beim Present Simple.
Negative Aussagen:
I/you/we/they did not play
he/she/it does did not play
Im Past Simple kann man das Verb nicht direkt verneinen und braucht somit das Hilfsverb Do.
Im Englischen verwenden wir diese Zeitform in den folgenden Zusammenhängen:
Um Handlungen auszudrücken, die zu einer Bestimmten Zeit in der Vergangenheit beendet worden sind :
In 2011, I left Rome.
Um Aufeinander Folgende Handlungen zu erzählen, wie zum Beispiel in einer Geschichte:
First I got home, then I ate something and then I went to bed.
Gemeinsam mit dem Past Continuous, wenn das Past Simple eine Handlung, die in der Vergangenheit geschah, unterbricht:
He was singing, when his mom started to scream.
