Penjelasan:

Simple past tense mengubah bentuk verb menjadi bentuk kedua. Namun apabila bentuk kalimatnya negatif (-) atau bentuk kalimatnya interogatif (?), maka bentuk verbnya tetap menjadi bentuk pertama.

Bentuk verb sendiri ada dua jenis, yakni:

• Reguler verb: Dance - danced - danced
• Irreguler verb: Speak - spoke - spoken

Sedangkan bentuk to be jika dalam keadaan lampau, maka menggunakan wasdanwere

Contoh:

• Diana was at the mosque yesterday.
• You and I were in the library yesterday morning.
