About this document

Past Simple vs. Past Perfect Guide by Jen Valencia is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The past simple tense is used to talk about completed actions in the past at a specific time or habitual past actions. It is formed by adding "-ed" to regular verbs and using the past form for irregular verbs. The past perfect tense indicates that an action was completed before something else in the past. It is formed by using "had" plus the past participle of the verb. Both tenses can be used in questions and negative forms by adding "did not" or "had not".
