Simple past tense adalah kalimat yang menceritakan kejadian di masa lampau dan berakhir di masa lampau juga. So, the past tense is used when you tell a story in the present about past activities.
Rumusnya :
Subject+Verb 2+ Object+Complement
But there are two sentences that automatically cause formula differences, there are verbal and nominal sentences.
Ciri-ciri simple past tense :
1. Menggunakan Verb 2 untuk menandakan aktivitas yang terjadi di masa lampau, atau menggunakan to be was/were.
2. Menggunakan bentuk lampau seperti last night, yesterday, etc.
3. Memakai kata kerja regular dan irregular.
Okay, let me tell you the complete formula :
(+) Subject + to be (was/were) + complement
Example : I was a painter. (Aku dulu seorang pelukis.)
(-) Subject +to be (was/were) + not + complement
Example : My mother was not sick yesterday. ( Ibuku tidak sakit kemarin.)
(?) To be (was/were) + Subject + complement
Example : She was so rich? (Apakah dulu dia sangat kaya?)
Maybe that's all I can say first, more or less I apologize.
