Long explanation:
The Vietnamese adverb 'đã' is used to express completed actions or events in the past. It is the equivalent of the English past tense marker and is usually placed just before the main verb. Note, however, that 'đã' is optional and sometimes omitted in daily conversations especially where context makes the time reference clear.
