Utiliza-se o Simple Past nas frases em que há sentido de ação concluída e finalizada. Além disso, há uso de advérbios que representam atividades que ocorreram no passado, como: yesterday, the day before yesterday, last night, last week e ago.
Neste tempo verbal, utiliza-se verbos regulares (walked, worked, played, washed, etc.) e verbos irregulares (went, drank, flew, saw, etc.).
Exemplos: He studied Math last night./ We did not (didn't) go to school last week./ I called you two days ago.
