Let's Go Learn About Simple Past Tense

The second material is about Simple Past Tense

For English, In the sentences have to inform when the time occurs. Time : Present, Past or Future.

In the past, usually use adverb of time, as yesterday, 2 days ago, last week, last month, last year, 2 years ago, etc. 

Simple Past Tense inform about, are :

• states work that has occured at a certain time in the past 
• states a habit that occured in the past
• etc.

And the formula simple past tenses are : 

• For Verbal Sentences (in the sentences use a 'Verb' after subject). Verb likes : played, watched, composed, bought, went, gave, stopped, met, visited, etc. You must use verb 2 for the simple past tense. And use auxiliary word 'Did' for negative and interrogative sentences. 

            The formula :

            (+)              S + Verb2

            (-)               S + DID + NOT + Verb 1

            (?)              DID + S + Verb 1? 

            (WH)         WH + DID + S + Verb 1? 

• For Nominal Sentences (in the sentences not using 'Verb' but using Adverb, Noun and Adjective).

            The formula :

            (+)           S + WAS / WERE + ANA

            (-)            S + WAS / WERE + NOT + ANA

            (?)           WAS / WERE + S + ANA ?

            (WH)       WH + WAS / WERE + S + ANA? 

**) Btw, You must be carrefull in the change 'Verb', Reguler Verb or Irreguler Verb. 

**) Can you see the difference between verbal sentences and nominal sentences? 

If you still confused, you can comment for asking me.

From article :

What made you want to dance when you were young, and how did you realize that you had a gift for it? 

First of all, I never thought that I'm good at dancing. But I began to like dancing when I was young. It was my friends who suggested that we go learn how to dance as an after-school activity. As I did more of it, I began to like it more and I started taking more lessons. And I became more and more immersed in it. And I realized, as I continued to learn how to dance, that I didn't have the stress when I was dancing. It was my own space where I could go to a different world, where I didn't have to think about other things. It was something that I could really immerse myself into. And it made me feel really free. And it made me really happy. And then even after I debuted and I still have those feelings and those emotions, dancing is the best answer.
