Past Indefinite Tense (Past Simple)

The Past Indefinite tense, also known as the Past Simple tense, is used to describe actions or states that occurred and were completed in the past. It is one of the basic tenses in English grammar. Here is an example of a sentence in the Past Indefinite tense:

Example: I wanted to eat.

In this example, the verb "want" is in the Past Simple form "wanted." The action of wanting to eat happened in the past and is now completed.

The Past Indefinite tense is formed by adding the suffix "-ed" to regular verbs. However, irregular verbs have their own unique forms in the Past Simple tense. For example, the verb "eat" becomes "ate" in the Past Simple tense.

Here is a table that shows the formation of the Past Simple tense for regular verbs:

| Present Simple (Base Form) | Past Simple (Past Indefinite) | |---------------------------|-------------------------------| | I want to eat | I wanted to eat |

Please note that the example provided is a regular verb. Irregular verbs have different forms in the Past Simple tense.
