- The simple past tense shows that you are talking about something that has already happened. Unlike the past continuous tense, which is used to talk about past events that happened over a period of time, the simple past tense emphasizes that the action is finished.
- Example: Wolfgang admired the way the light glinted off his silver medal.
- You can also use the simple past to talk about a past state of being, such as the way someone felt about something. This is often expressed with the simple past tense of the verb to beand an adjective, noun, or prepositional phrase.
- Example: Wolfgang was proud of his hula hoop victory; The contest was the highlight of his week.
