These Past Simple exercises build your confidence from the ground up. Start with was/were, then master regular verbs (-ed endings and spelling rules) and common irregular verbs. You'll learn to form negatives with didn't and questions with did, practice with time expressions like yesterday, last week, and ago, and finally tackle the tricky distinction between Past Simple and Present Perfect.
