Past Simple

It is used to express an action which started and finished in the past:

    I got up at 8 yesterday.
    she bought a new house 5 days ago.
    I met with my best friend last week. 

It is used to express a sequence of actions which happen one after another:

    we drank coffee, went to the movies, and returned home.

 

 

ATTENTION!

 

IF YOU USE WHEN IN A PAST SIMPLE SENTENCE IN WHICH BOTH CLAUSES CONTAIN VERBS IN THE PAST SIMPLE THE ACTION IN THE WHEN CLAUSE HAPPENS FIRST.

 

WHEN I WOKE UP, I WALKED MY DOG.

 

FIRST I WOKE UP AND THEN I WALKED MY DOG

*DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE COMMA WHICH SEPARATES TWO CLAUSES
