English Lesson:

The past simple tense is used to talk about actions that happened in the past and are now completed. We usually form the past simple tense by adding -ed to the end of regular verbs, but there are also many irregular verbs that have different past tense forms.

Here are some examples:

• I walked to the store yesterday.
• She cooked dinner for us last night.
• They watched a movie at the theater on Friday.
• He played soccer with his friends after school.
• We studied for the exam all week.

Japanese Lesson:

過去形 (kakokei) is the past tense in Japanese. In Japanese, the past tense is often formed by adding た (ta) to the end of a verb.

1. 食べた (tabeta) - ate
2. 寝た (neta) - slept
3. 歩いた (aruita) - walked
4. 走った (hashitta) - ran
5. 見た (mita) - saw

Here are some examples:

• 昨日、私はスーパーに歩いた。(Kinou, watashi wa suupaa ni aruita.) (Yesterday, I walked to the supermarket.)
• 彼女は昨晩、私たちのために夕食を作った。(Kanojo wa sakuban, watashitachi no tame ni yuushoku wo tsukutta.) (She cooked dinner for us last night.)
• 彼らは金曜日に映画館で映画を見た。(Karera wa kinyoubi ni eigakan de eiga wo mita.) (They watched a movie at the theater on Friday.)
• 彼は放課後に友達とサッカーをした。(Kare wa houkago ni tomodachi to sakkaa wo shita.) (He played soccer with his friends after school.)
• 私たちは一週間中、試験勉強をした。(Watashitachi wa isshuukan-chuu, shiken benkyou wo shita.) (We studied for the exam all week.)

Notice that in Japanese, the past tense can be formed by adding た (ta) to the end of the verb.
