SIMPLE PAST
FUNZIONI DEL "SIMPLE PAST"
Il simple past si usa per parlare di azioni concluse che si sono svolte nel passato. La durata dell'azione è irrilevante. L'azione può essersi svolta in un passato prossimo o remoto.
ESEMPI
  • John Cabot sailed to America in 1498.
  • My father died last year.
  • He lived in Fiji in 1976.
  • We crossed the Channel yesterday.
Il simple past si utilizza sempre per indicare in che momento si è verificato un avvenimento; pertanto, questo tempo è sempre associato a un determinato tipo di espressioni temporali
  • frequenzaoften, sometimes, always
    sometimes walked home at lunchtime.
    often brought my lunch to school.
  • un momento precisolast week, when I was a child, yesterday, six weeks ago
    We saw a good film last week.
    Yesterday, I arrived in Geneva.
    She finished her work atseven o'clock
    went to the theatre last night
  • un momento non preciso: the other day, ages ago, a long time ago People lived in caves a long time ago.
    She played the piano when she was a child.
Nota: la parola ago è un termine utile per esprimere la distanza nel passato. Si colloca dopo il periodo di tempo: a week ago, three years ago, a minute ago.
Attenzione: Il simple past in inglese può sembrare simile al passato remoto in italiano, ma non sempre il significato è lo stesso.
