當一個動作是在過去的時間發生，我們可以用「簡單過去式」。
For example 例如：

: @& k- p5 R. q" RMy mum took me to the Disneyland last week.
" g- o/ N6 v4 p
(2) Usually we see the words "yesterday", "last night", "last week", "last month", "an hour ago", this means the action happened in the past and we can use "Simple Past Tense".
( n: w3 p/ |9 n/ ?4 e4 e( L通常如果我們在一句句子裡看見「yesterday」、「last night」、「last week」、「last month」、「an hour ago」等這些字時，就表示句子裡的動作是在過去的時間發生的，那我們便會用「簡單過去式」。
