    Teaching decision criteria

    Use this page when
    Use past simple when an adult learner needs to recount a completed event, explain a sequence, or report what happened at a known finished time.
    Do not use it when
    Do not expand into irregular-verb lists when the communication problem is sequencing or intelligibility; teach only the forms required by the target account.
    Adult 1:1 task example
    The learner explains a completed client incident from first event to resolution while the tutor checks time markers, verb forms, and listener clarity.
    Evidence of quality
    A successful response keeps the event in a finished time frame, uses comprehensible verb forms, and makes the sequence clear without tutor reconstruction.
