Do you use the simple past tenses in daily conversation?

I don’t think simple past is easy to learn because they are too complicated. There are too many words to learn.
If you use that in daily conversation, I think I should learn that first.
However, my textbook says that you read simple past only in novels.
Is that correct?
I don’t have any teachers.
I’m studying by myself.


Hello, I may not understand English very well and I may lack words but I will try to understand you.

If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask.
