Simple past

Hello,

1. I ate dinner at 8 o'clock last night.

Does it means , the action of eating finished at 8 o'clock or the action of eating started at 8 o'clock.

Thanks.

hanuman_2000 Hello,1. Thanks. Most likely neither the starting nor the finishing happened at exactly 8 o'clock, but the the stated time usually is close(r) to the starting time.
