Past Simple (I did)
Рассмотрите следующую ситуацию:
Tom: "Look! It's raining again."
Ann: "Oh no, not again. It rained all day yesterday too."
Rained – это Past Simple (прошедшее простое время). Мы его используем, когда речь идет о действии или ситуации в прошлом. Вот ещё несколько примеров:
I enjoyed the party very much.
Mr. Edwards died ten years ago.
When I lived in Manchester, I worked in a bank.
Очень часто в прошедшем простом времени мы добавляем к глаголу окончание - ed:
We invited them to our party but they decided not to come.
The police stopped me on my way home last night.
She passed her examination because she studied very hard.
