Das Simple Past ist eine Zeitform des Verbs, die verwendet wird, um Handlungen oder Ereignisse in der Vergangenheit zu beschreiben, die abgeschlossen sind. Die meisten Verben werden im Simple Past in ihrer grundlegenden Form verwendet, während einige wenige irregular (unregelmäßig) sind.
Beachten Sie, dass das Simple Past nicht mit dem Past Participle (Vollendete Zeit) verwechselt werden sollte. Die beiden Zeitformen sind sehr ähnlich, aber es gibt einige wichtige Unterschiede, die Sie beachten sollten.

I met a friend of mine yesterday who I hadn’t seen for a long time. She told me that she had just moved back to the city after living in the suburbs for a few years. She said that she was happy to be back and that she loved the city life. She also told me that she had just started a new job and that she was really enjoying it. It was great to catch up with her and I’m really looking forward to seeing her again soon.
