Answer:
1. When do we use the simple past tense? How about past perfect tense?
Answer: We used Simple Past to specify actions that started and finished at a specific time in the past. It's also possible to use the simple past in a sentence without specifying a time, but it must have previously been made clear that the speaker is referring to a finished period. We can use the past perfect to show the order of two past events. The past perfect shows the earlier action and the past simple shows the later action. When the police arrived, the thief had escaped. It doesn't matter in which order we say the two events.
2. What are the kinds of verbs used in simple past tense?
Answer: regular and irregular verb. A regular verb is any verb whose conjugation follows the typical pattern, or one of the typical patterns, of the language to which it belongs. A verb whose conjugation follows a different pattern is called an irregular verb.
3. Is learning simple past and past perfect tense helpful to you?
Answer: Yes, because by learning such I am able to fully express the message that I want to send. The listeners will then understand the tense of my stories. They would know whether what I am telling about happened in the past, present or still in future. It will help us avoid misunderstanding.
