    The key takeaways are that the simple past tense is used to talk about actions that happened in the past, either once, never, or several times. It can also be used for actions that happened one after another or in the middle of another action.

    Examples given of how the simple past tense is used include talking about actions that happened in the past on a regular basis (e.g. visiting parents every weekend) or actions that happened one after another (e.g. came in, took off coat, sat down).

    Exercises provided to practice the simple past tense include exercises on was/were, positive sentences, negative sentences, questions, questions with interrogatives, and a mixed exercise. Stories like Goldilocks and exercises on specific texts are also provided.
