Simple Past Tense

In all Expressive Writing written assignments, students are taught to describe what happened, rather than what is happening or what happens. By writing in simple past tense, students grasp the proper tense for narrative writing and reporting something.

By mastering the use of simple past tense both in writing and verbal communication, students become consistent in their use of tenses.
