Talking Japanese Verbs - please help! - 07-06-2009, 02:08 PM

hi, konnichiwa!
i'm teaching myself Japanese (and looking for people to teach me!)
i'm having trouble with verbs, because of all the different forms.

Can someone explain to me:
When do you use 'ta' form and when do you use 'masu' form?
for example, when do you say:

Banana o tabeta.

and when do you say:

Banana o tabemashita.


????

Many thanks to anyone who replies to this!
Arigato!!
