Shaky on the rule?
Guessing gets you through a quiz; understanding gets you through the exam. Read the full Past simple lesson — The past simple describes completed actions and states at a specific, finished time in the past: 'I visited Prague in 2019.' Regular verbs add -ed; irregular verbs change form entirely (go → went). It pairs with finished-time words like yesterday, last week, and ago, and is the backbone tense for telling stories and reporting past events.
