The Simple Past tense in Thai grammar is not conjugated like in English or other European languages. Instead, it is expressed solely through context or by adding time indicators in the sentence. Usually, the word “แล้ว” (laew), which means “already”, is often used to indicate the past tense. However, learners must be careful as not all “แล้ว” in sentences indicate past events. Understanding the context is key. In the following exercises, you will be practising the use of Simple Past tense with time indicators in Thai.
