- "What was it like?" - We use the past simple tense "was" to talk about a specific finished action or event in the past.

- "We spent a week in New York" - We use the past simple tense "spent" to talk about a specific completed action in the past.

- "Did you visit the Empire State Building?" - We use the past simple tense "did visit" in combination with the auxiliary verb "did" to ask a yes/no question in the past.

- "We did not see the Empire State Building much!" - We use the past simple tense "did not see" to talk about a specific action that did not happen in the past. "Much" is used to indicate a small amount or degree.
