4 my english club DK / siple past

We use the past simple to express the idea that an action/event/activity/habit/fact started and finished in the past.  The time is very specific, so it is either mentioned by the speaker, or it is understood by all parties.

There are several types of event that we can describe using simple past tense.
• A completed action in the past.
Example: I called my sister yesterday. He didn’t come last week.
• A series of completed actions - When we combine several verbs in the past simple, the order of the actions is in sequence according to what happens 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and so on. 
Example: I finished work at five, went home, cooked dinner, and slept at nine.
• Duration in the past: We can also use the past simple for a longer activity that happened for a duration in the past. (key words: for 2 years, all day)
Example; She lived in Japan all her childhood. They did not go home for five years.
• Habits in the past: When we use the past simple to describe a habit that stopped in the past, it is the same as using ‘used to’.  (key words: always, often, usually, never)
Example; He always played the guitar. They never attended class.
• Past Facts or Generalization – The facts are no longer true –similar to ‘used to’.
Example; Computers were more expensive back then. People did not travel as much.

There are two types of past simple forms: Regular and Irregular verbs.
Regular verbs: Simply add –d / -ed to the root of the verbs (danced, walked, studied)
Irregular verbs: These do not have a formula –pure memorization.  (brought, did, ate)
To form the negative, we just add ‘did not’ with each type of subject plus the base form of the verb.
I / You / He / She / They / We did not go to school this morning.
Questions: Did + Subject + Base Verb ?
       Did she graduate in 1997?
       Did they move to Paris?

Since the past simple is used with retelling successive events, it is commonly used in storytelling or reporting on past event (trip/experience).  In this case, time adverbs are particularly important to make the story easy to follow.  These words help to explain when things occurred in the past and the sequence of events.
Example: First, Then, Two weeks ago, Next, After, Finally, In 2005, Before that, Last year, and so on.

Mengapa Perut kita berbunyi ketika lapar??

Suara yang dihasilkan perut ketika sedang kelaparan sebenarnya merupakan bunyi yang berasal dari lambung dan usus. Pada saat kita bernapas, terdapat udara yang tertelan ke dalam perut. Selain itu setelah selesai mencerna makan, usus juga menghasilkan gas.

Saat ini, yakni apabila makanan sudah selesai dicerna, perut masih terus bereaksi dan mengakibatkan otak besar menghasilkan perasaan lapar. gas-gas inilah yang berputar-putar di dalam perut dan mengeluarkan suara krucuk-krucuk!
