Past tense:

• The past tense is a grammatical tense that is used to refer to an action or situation that occurred in the past.
• The English verbs sang, went, and washed are examples of past tense verbs.
• Most languages have a past tense, and some have several types to indicate how far back the action occurred.
• We add '- ed' to form the simple past tense verb.
• We add '-d' to verbs ending in 'e.'
• However, some simple past tense verbs, such as cut, put and set, remain the same in both the present and past tense.

Past perfect tense:

• In the instance of the past perfect tense, it indicates that one event occurred in the past before another.
• The past perfect, also known as the pluperfect, is a verb tense used to describe activities that occurred before some point in the past.
• The statement Daniel had left by the time Erica came, for example, employs the past perfect tense to indicate that Daniel left his house before Erica arrived.
