Justification

Définition écrite

• The simple past (or past simple) tense in English is used to describe actions or events that were completed in the past. It is essential for indicating that an action occurred at a specific point in time, often specified with time markers like *yesterday*, *last week*, *in 2020*, or *two days ago*.

Affirmative Form:

• For regular verbs, the simple past is formed by adding -ed to the base form of the verb (e.g., *worked*, *played*).
• Irregular verbs, however, have unique past forms (e.g., *went*, *saw*).

Negative Form:

• The negative form uses the auxiliary verb did not (or *didn’t*) followed by the base form of the main verb (e.g., *did not work*, *didn't go*).

Interrogative Form:

• Questions in the simple past begin with Did, followed by the subject and the base form of the main verb (e.g., *Did you work?*, *Did he go?*).

This tense is widely used in English to narrate past events, describe historical facts, and provide background for actions completed at specific times in the past.

Applications and Nuances of the Simple Past The simple past is not only used to indicate completed actions but also adds contextual nuances depending on its usage. Below are its main applications:* 1. Completed Actions in the Past: The simple past describes actions that took place at a specific moment in the past, with no connection to the present. Example: “*She visited London last year.*” 2. Past Habits: It can describe repetitive actions or habits in the past, often with expressions like *always*, *often*, *never*. Example: “*They always walked to school.*” 3. Narratives and Sequences of Events: This tense is often used in narratives to describe a series of actions in chronological order, providing structure to the storyline. Example: “*He entered the room, turned on the light, and sat down.*” 4. Hypotheticals or Unreal Conditions in Conditional Sentences: In conditional type 2 sentences, the simple past is used to indicate hypothetical or unreal situations. Example: “*If I had more time, I would travel more.*” 5. Specific or Extended Events: The simple past can indicate singular events (e.g., “*I saw him yesterday*”) or prolonged states that lasted in the past (e.g., “*They lived in France for ten years*”).
