Unit 17 Grammar PDF The past tense may refer to events that took place very recently or very long ago (for example, many decades ago) (e.g., just a few seconds ago). When referring to events that took place before this particular instant, i.e., before the current time, the simple past tense is the most appropriate verb tense to use.  The past tense is used to talk about things that already happened or things that happened in the past. In English, when we want to talk about an action that started and ended in the past, we usually add "ed" to the end of the word. For example, "I dreamed" or "I walked" become "I dreamed" or "I walked," respectively. General Formula of Past Tense:  The past tense takes us on a journey back in time, where we can explore completed actions, ongoing events, and past states.

They are introduced by relative pronouns like who, whom, whose, which, or that or relative adverbs such as where, when, or why.  Clauses introduced by relative pronouns (who, that, which, what, as, but) are called relative clauses ( six in number).
