WHAT DOES PAST HISTORIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Preterite

The preterite is a grammatical tense or verb form serving to denote events that took place or were completed in the past. In general, it combines the perfective aspect with the past tense, and may thus also be termed the perfective past. In grammars of particular languages the preterite is sometimes called the past historic, or the aorist. When the term "preterite" is used in relation to specific languages it may not correspond precisely to this definition. In English it can be used to refer to the simple past verb form, which sometimes expresses perfective aspect. The case of German is similar: the Präteritum is the simple past tense, which does not always imply perfective aspect, and is anyway often replaced by the Perfekt even in perfective past meanings. Preterite may be denoted by the glossing abbreviation PRET or PRT. The word derives from the Latin praeteritum, meaning "passed by" or "past".
