This video outlines the past tense and when to use it. It also covers certain verb conjugation that only occur in this tense. The simple past describes an event within a time frame that is completed (compare the simple past "I cooked twice this week" with the present perfect, "I have cooked twice this week" — the former implies that that's all the cooking I'm going to do, while the latter leaves open the possibility that I might cook more). The past perfect tense describes events or situations that precede another point in the past that has been established through the the present perfect or the simple past. English creates this tense with a past participle and, as the name suggests, with the auxiliary verb, "to have," conjugated in its past-tense forms.
