पिछले काल को अंग्रेजी में बहुत ही महत्वपूर्ण माना जाता है, क्योंकि यह हमें बीते हुए समय की घटनाओं और क्रियाओं के बारे में बताता है। अंग्रेजी में मुख्य रूप से चार प्रकार के पिछले काल होते हैं: Simple Past, Past Continuous, Past Perfect, और Past Perfect Continuous. इन कालों का उपयोग करके हम समय के अनुसार अपनी बातों को स्पष्टता और सटीकता के साथ प्रस्तुत कर सकते हैं। इस अभ्यास में हम इन्हीं कालों का अभ्यास करेंगे।
इस अभ्यास के माध्यम से, आप अंग्रेजी के पिछले कालों को अच्छी तरह से समझने और उनके सही उपयोग की प्रैक्टिस करने में सक्षम होंगे। क्रिया को सही रूप में पूर्ण करने का अभ्यास आपकी भाषा कौशल को मजबूत बनायेगा और आपको अंग्रेजी में अधिक प्रवीण बनाने में मदद करेगा।
