Chinese grammar is famously simple and using time words to tell when something happened in the past is a simple lesson to learn:

Let's start with the foundation: "nián (年)" means "year" and "tiān (天)" means "day". To make them past tense you can use the following words:

"zuótiān (昨天)" means "yesterday"

"qùnián (去年)" means "last year"

"qiántiān (前天)" means "the day before yesterday"

"qiánnián (前年)" means "the year before last"

You can use these words in everyday conversation to describe your activities and personal history with friends!
