### Pengertian Simple Past Tense
*Simple Past Tense* digunakan untuk menyatakan peristiwa atau tindakan yang telah selesai dilakukan di waktu lampau. Ini bisa berupa kejadian singkat, peristiwa berulang, atau periode waktu tertentu di masa lalu.
### Struktur dan Rumus
1. **Kalimat Positif**
- **Rumus**:
- *Subjek + Verb-2 + objek + keterangan waktu (opsional)*.
- *Verb-2* adalah bentuk kata kerja lampau, misalnya *went*, *played*, *saw*, *did*, *ate*, *took*, dsb.
- **Contoh**:
- *She visited her grandmother yesterday.*
- *We watched a movie last night.*
- *I bought a new book two days ago.*
- *They completed the project on time.*
2. **Kalimat Negatif**
- **Rumus**:
- *Subjek + did not (didn't) + Verb-1 + objek + keterangan waktu (opsional)*.
- Dalam kalimat negatif, kata kerja kembali ke bentuk dasar (Verb-1), karena "*did not*" sudah menunjukkan bentuk lampau.
- **Contoh**:
- *I didn't see him at the party.*
- *They didn't finish their homework yesterday.*
- *She didn't go to the market last week.*
- *We didn't eat breakfast this morning.*
3. **Kalimat Tanya**
- **Rumus**:
- *Did + subjek + Verb-1 + objek + keterangan waktu (opsional)?*
- Sama seperti kalimat negatif, kata kerja tetap dalam bentuk dasar (Verb-1).
- **Contoh**:
- *Did you call your friend yesterday?*
- *Did he travel to Japan last year?*
- *Did they enjoy the concert?*
- *Did she cook dinner last night?*
