NOTE: He was a student. Washe a student? He wasn’t a student. (Past Simple)

Временная форма Past Simple используется для обозначения:

1) Регулярно повторяющихся действий в прошлом.

He always came to school on time.

Last winter I spent a lot of time in the library.

2) Действия, постоянного признака, свойства предмета или общеизвестного факта, совершившегося (имевшего место) в прошлом.

He was a good pupil.

The house stood on the hill.

We met when I was in Germany.

Единичные действия в прошлом обычно употребляются с такими обозначениями времени, как: yesterday вчера, the other day на днях, on Sunday в воскресенье, in 1980 в 1980 году last week на прошлой неделе, an hour ago час тому назад, a month ago месяц назад, long ago давно и т.п.

I took the book from the library yesterday.

He left 10 minutes ago.

Примечание: Past Simple употребляется в специальных вопросах, начинающихся с when когда и where где, так как такие вопросы относят действие к конкретной ситуации в прошлом:

When did you see him?

Where did you see him?

3) Ряда прошедших действий, передаваемых в той последовательности, в которой они происходили:

He opened the door and went out of the room.

He took a book, opened it and began reading.

NOTE! Для выражения повторявшихся, регулярных действий или длительных состояний в прошлом, не имеющих место и неактуальных в настоящем, часто употребляется used to в сочетании с инфинитивом смыслового глагола.

I used to write home twice a week.

She used to get up early.

He didn’t use to take English lessons.

4. Make the statements interrogative and negative.

1) Yesterday we received our credit books.

2) It was the first university in the city.

3) We began the experiment three days ago.

4) It was a difficult task.

5) He entered Altai State University.

5. Read the sentences in Present Simple, and change them into Past Simple, for example:
