The simple past is used for a completed action that happened at one specific time in the past. The italicized words in the previous sentence are important because they show that simple past is not the same as past continuous or present perfect times.
For example simple past tense:
- John wento Spain last year.
- Bob boughta new bicycle yesterday.
- Maria did her homework last night.
- Mark washedthe dishes after dinner
- We droveto the grocery store this afternoon.
- George cooked dinner for his family Saturday night.
