Simple Past Tense
Simple past tense is used to narrate an action of the past. The verb in the past tense ends with an '-ed' and hence, there are seven ways of marking the irregular verbs in the past tense. The most common being the change of the vowel as in 'drink' - 'drank'. 

Construction
Subject + verb + Object

Examples:
  • Katie worked in that office for almost four years.
  • He passed away in 1999.
  • We went for the movie yesterday.
  • Three years ago, I studied at the Canada University.
Past Continuous Tense
This from of tense indicates activities that have already happened in the past and have been completed before the time of mention. These sentences are formed with the help of an auxiliary verb and giving the main verb an 'ing' ending.

Structure 
Subject + was/were + Verb in its -ing form + Object

Examples:
  • He was washing the dishes, while she was cooking dinner.
  • I was working at 11p.m yesterday.
  • We were playing football when it started to rain.
  • She was reading a thriller novel when I called her.
  • What were you doing when Sam arrived?
  • I was walking down the street yesterday when the police van was patrolling the city.
Past Perfect Tense
This tense refers to a non-continuous action that was already completed in the past. Such sentences are formed by using the Simple Past form of the auxiliary verb 'to have', followed by the past participle form of the verb. 

Structure 
Subject + had + past participle form of verb + Object

Example:
  • I had never seen such a beautiful before.
  • She understood the movie only because she had read the book.
  • Clara had never been to a club before last night.
  • We didn’t get a room in the hotel because we had not booked in advance.
Past Perfect Continuous Tense
A continuous action that was completed sometime in the past falls under Past Perfect Continuous tense. Such sentences are framed by using the modal, 'had' + 'been' + the present participle of the verb (-ing).

Structure:
Subject + had + been + Verb (ing) + object

Example:
  • I had been playing the guitar all morning.
  • I had been sleeping all the way from the beginning of the class.
  • He had been trying to call her.
  • Until this year, Neha had been going to a village school.
  • The baby had been crying out loud for minutes when her mother fed her.
