  5. When to use the past tense To talk about the past He worked at Khan Buuz. He had worked there since July..He was working at Khan Buuz. He had been working since July. to refer to the present or future in conditions: He could get a new job if he really tried.If Bold was playing they would probably win. and hypotheses: It might be dangerous. Suppose they got lost.I would always help someone who really needed help. and wishes: I wish it wasn’t so cold. (it is cold, so you wish it wasn’t so cold) In conditions, hypotheses and wishes, if we want to talk about the past, we always use the past perfect: I would have helped him if he had asked.It was very dangerous, What if you had got lost?I wish I hadn’t spent so much money last month. We can use the past forms to talk about the present in a few polite expressions: Excuse me, I was wondering if this was the train for Erdenet.I just hoped you would be able to help me. https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/english-grammar/verbs/past-tense
