### 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?*
