The Past tense is the tense that is always used to talk about events which have happened already. For example:
- Mabula's family moved to Tanga in 1999.
- Last night, grandmother told us nice stories.
- Students prepared school garden yesterday.
Note: When talking about past activities, you should master the *Past Tense verb forms.*
The common form of the past tense is formed by adding "-ed" to the end of the verb. However, some irregular verbs have their vowels changed when introducing the past activities.
For example:
We ate ugali with beans
We told the police what has happened
She came early in the morning.
