2.The Past Simple Tense

Past Simple (something happened) tells us only about the past. If somebody says 'Tom lost his key', this doesn't tell us whether he has the key now or not. It tells us only that he lost his key. We use The Past Simple for a finished time in the past. For example: yesterday/last week/from 1995 to 2001
