Past Simple
Do I always need to use a specific if I use the past simple like:
My dad worked in a shop yesterday.
My dad worked in a shop.
Is it enough to know when it happened, but I don't always have to say it ?
My dad worked in a shop yesterday.
My dad worked in a shop.
Is it enough to know when it happened, but I don't always have to say it ?
