It is important not to confuse the name of a verb tense with the way we use it to talk about time. A present tense does not always refer to present time (I hope it RAINS tomorrow). A past tense does not always refer to past time (If I HAD some money now, I could buy it).
Time signal atau penanda waktu dalam simple past tense adalah menggunakan bentuk last (yang lalu), ago (yang lalu) dan berbagai bentuk waktu lampau lainnya. Berikut ini beberapa time signal yang digunakan dalam tense simple past. Last + Time. Cardinal + Time + Ago. Special Time in Past.
