Past Simple Passive - GrammarTOP.com
https://grammartop.com/past-simple-passive-202.02.2019 · We use Past Simple Passive for actions or events that happened in the past (yesterday, last week (month, year), in 2010). Unlike the Past Perfect Passive, there’s no specific point in the past. In such statements we focus attention on the person or thing affected by the action, when the subject is unknown, unclear or irrelevant.
