Penjelasan:

Simple past tense dipakai menceritakan  sesuatu yang terjadi di masa lampau.

Tips:

Untuk memudahkan pemahaman kita, maka bayangkan kalimat-kalimat ini sedang diucapkan oleh sesorang di depanmu sekarang, dan dia mengisahkan kejadian-kejadian di masa lampau.

Misalnya kalimat pertama:

I learned an important lesson from my father last night.

(saya mempelajari sebuah pelajaran penting dari ayah saya tadi malam)

Maka bayangkan ada temanmu yang saat ini juga berdiri di depanmu mengucapkan itu.

Sama dengan kebanyakan novel berbahasa Inggris, dimana selalu dengan posisi penulis seolah-olah bicara kepada pembaca saat ini dan mengisahkan kilas balik peristiwa yang terjadi di masa lampau.
