Any difference between "simple past" and "past simple"? #1 (permalink) Wed Aug 27, 2008 10:25 am   Any difference between "simple past" and "past simple"?
 

Hi,

I've seen different books using both terms -- past simple and simple past. Is there any difference between them?

Thanks a lot,
Torsten

It may be a question of consistency, for some writers: "past perfect"/"past simple", "present perfect"/"present simple".
