The Simple Past

Signalwords: yesterday, 3 minutes ago, in 1980, last ..., etc.

How to build the Simple Past: 2. form of the verb

                                                If you need the verb "do" in the second form,  the verb "go" for example is                                                                  always in the first form 

When do you use the Simple Past: 

•  one-time or repeated actions in the past
•  "Completed Actions", no importance to the present

Examples: My brother visited me in February. 

                  I did´nt go to San Diego last year.

                  Did you go to Walmart yesterday?
