Простое прошедшее время.

Мы используем Past Simple Tense для того, чтобы рассказать о событиях или ситуациях в прошлом.

Очень часто мы употребляемPast Simple Tense c такими словами и фразами, как:

Yesterday -вчера, last night –прошлой ночью, last week –на прошлой неделе, last month –в прошлом месяце, last year –в прошлом году, last summer (autumn,winter,spring) –прошлым летом(осенью, зимой, весной), at six(seven...) o'clock -в шесть(семь…) часов,on Sunday(Monday...) –в воскресенье (понедельник…),an hour(a week...) ago –час(неделю…) тому назад,the other day -позавчера, in 1994(2009) –в 1994(2009) году,during the war(the revolution..) –во время войны(революции…)

- He made his engine more powerful.- Он сделал двигатель более мощным.

- On Monday he came to the office by taxi.- В понедельник он приехал в офис на такси.

Многие глаголы в Past Simple Tense оканчиваются на -edили -d. Такие глаголы называются правильными. Например:

- He improved the design of his engine.- Он улучшил дизайн своего двигателя.

- The steam condensed outside the cylinder.- Пар сконденсировался внутри цилиндра.

Но много частоупотребляемых глаголов - неправильные (irregular). Это означает, что past simple не заканчивается на-ed. Например:

1.Глаголы, в которых изменяется гласная в корне.

2.Глаголы, в которых изменяется гласная в корне и добавляется-d или –t.

3.Глаголы, в которых изменяется последняя d на t.

4.Глаголы, в которых одинаковая форма Infinitive и Past Simple.

5.Глаголы, в которых разная грамматическая основа.

Но некоторые глаголы могут быть правильными и неправильными.

В вопросительных и отрицательных предложениях с Past Simple мы используем вспомогательный глагол did/didn't + инфинитив (do/open/rain и т.д.):

- Did he make his engine more powerful?- Сделал ли он двигатель более мощным?

- How did he make his engine more powerful?- Как он сделал двигатель более мощным?

- He didn’t improve the design of his engine.- Он не улучшил дизайн своего двигателя.

- Why did Newcomen’s engine have poor efficiency?- Почему двигатель Ньюкомена был малоэффективным?

Но с глаголом be (was/were) мы не употребляемdid:

Например:

- Was Watt’s engine more efficient?- Был ли двигатель Уатта более эффективным?

(е) Формой past simple от глагола be (am/is/are) является was/were:
