Past simple or simple past is one of the essentials in English language. You can tell a story or write a story using the past simple tense.

Examples:

I drove my dad's car yesterday.

I washed my face last night

So basically the simple past uses the past tense of the verb plus one of these:

Yesterday

Last year

Last month

Last night

Last holiday

Last ....etc

Since...

Of course you need to know the past simple of the irregular verbs

Irregular verbs read more

The regular verbs end with ed like

Work worked

Walk walked

Wash washed

and so on... etc

After you got familiar with your regular and irregular verbs then you can start writing

For example:

Write about your last holiday

What did you do?

Where did you go?

My last holiday was fantastic. I went to the mountains in a place called Salalah in Oman. The mountains were so green and the people were so friendly. I visited many places like, forts, beaches, the hotels at night and went shopping in the grand mall. I stayed there for 10 days. The weather was really nice and it was great for camping. So we went camping on the mountains and made a small fire for BBQ.
