Основными определителями Прошедшего Простого (Past Simple) являются:
1. действие произошло в прошлом 🙂
2. действие завершилось в прошлом
3. мы знаем, когда именно действие произошло.
Это 3 категории, определяющие просто прошедшее время.
Формирование прошедшего времени
В первую очередь, рассмотрим случаи, когда основным глаголом в предложении является глагол БЫТЬ:
Я был – I was
Ты был – You were
Он был – He was
Она была – She was
Оно было – It was
Мы были – We were
Вы были – You were
Они были – They were
Теперь рассмотрим разные типы предложений:
Positive |
Negative |

I was there | I was not (wasn’t) there | Was I there? | Yes, I was.
No, I wasn’t |
You were there. | You were not (weren’t) there | Were you there? | Yes, you were.
No, you weren’t |
He was there | He was not (wasn’t) there | Was he here? | Yes, he was.
No, he wasn’t |
She was there | She was not (wasn’t) there | Was she there? | Yes, she was.
No, she wasn’t |
It was there | It was not (wasn’t) there | Was it there? | Yes, it was
No, it wasn’t |
We were there | We were not (weren’t) there | Were we there? | Yes, we were
No, we weren’t |
You were there | You were not (weren’t) there | Were you there? | Yes. You were
No, you weren’t |
They were there | They were not (weren’t) there | Were they there? | Yes, they were.
No, they weren’t. |
Именно таким образом используется глагол ВЕ в прошедшем времени. И здесь нам, русскоговорящим людям, проще, так как в русском мы тоже используем этот глагол в прошедшем:
Я был в Москве.
Он был на встрече.
Теперь рассмотрим использование всех остальных глаголов в прошедшем времени.
В первую очередь, необходимо помнить о том, что в английском языке есть два типа глаголов: правильные и не правильные.
Правильные глаголы – это те глаголы, которые в прошедшем времени присоединяют окончание ED:
admit – admitted
work-worked
accept – accepted
Неправильные глаголы – это те глаголы, которые в прошедшей форме полностью меняют свою форму:
go – went
bring – brought
Неправильные глаголы вынесены в таблицу вот здесь Их необходимо выучить и знать. Зная неправильные глаголы, мы, во-первых, можем с легкостью ориентироваться какой глагол является правильным, а какой глагол неправильным (по признаку его наличия или отсутствия в таблице); и, во-вторых, мы без затруднений сможем говорить в любом времени на английском языке, не задумываясь о том, какую форму использовать.
А теперь давайте посмотрим на то, как формируются разные типы предложений. Я привожу таблицу на примере двух предложений – одно предложение с правильным глаголом, второе – с неправильным.
