Simple Past Tense digunakan untuk menyatakan kejadian yang terjadi pada waktu lampau, dan pada waktu sekarang tidak terjadi lagi atau tidak ada hubungannya.
Rumus :
S + V2 + Obj/Ket
Kata kerja kedua (verb 2) terbagi dua bentuk, yaitu :
1. Regular Verb (kata kerja yang beraturan)
2. Irregular Verb (kata kerja yang tidak beraturan)
1. Regular Verb
Pada umumnya untuk membentuk V2 (past tense) dalam bentuk regular verb ini, hanya cukup menambahkan " ed " dibelakang kata kerja dasar (V1) tersebut.

try >> tried (mencoba)
Perhatikan :

2. beg >> begged (memohon)
3. rub >> rubbed (menggosok)
Note :
1. Apabila kata tersebut bersuku kata satu maka huruf akhirnya didouble kan baru tambah " ed ".
2. Apabila bersuku kata dua maka yang digandakan adalah yang tekanannya jatuh pada suku kedua/terakhir.

pre'fer >> preferred (lebih suka)
