    Conclusion
    Through this work, we were able to learn and recognize what the simple past is
    used for, understanding that it is used to say about actions or moments already
    past, we gave some examples of how to always use the past in sentences, both in
    affirmative, negative and questions. The same was done with the present simple,
    which is used to talk about actions that we are going to carry out at the moment,
    and we also saw some examples.
    To make these sentences it is important to follow the verbal structure, which will
    help us know where the verb, subject, object, etc. should go.
