Slide 1: What are they?

In English, we use the **simple past** for finished actions in the past, and the **past perfect** to show something happened before another past action.
2

Slide 2: Simple Past basics

Affirmative: subject + verb in -ed (walked) or irregular form (went-2nd column of list of verbs).

Negative: subject + didn't + infinitive form Use for finished events at a specific time in the past.

3

Slide 3: Past Perfect basics

Form: subject + had/hadn't + past participle.

past participles : -ed ending regular verbs

3rd column of list of verbs irregular verbs

4

Slide 4: Key signal words for past perfect and simple past

Look for words like **before**, **after**, **by the time**, and **already** to connect tenses.

5

Slide 5: When both tenses appear

We say: 'I had finished dinner before he arrived.' The past perfect shows order; simple past shows the later action.
6

Slide 6: Examples with 'had'

Example: 'She had left the house when the bus arrived.' Focus on the first action using past perfect.
7

Slide 7: Examples with simple past

Example: 'The bus arrived at 8, and she waved hello.' Simple past marks the finished event at a set time.
8

Slide 8: Time expressions with simple past

Simple past uses **yesterday**, **last year**, or **in 2010**.
