The simple past tense shows that you are talking about something that has already happened. Unlike the past continuous tense, which is used to talk about past events that happened over a period of time, it is simply an action that is finished.

usually  ends with ed

example: I <u>finished</u> my homework

<u>finished</u> is done already
