I've read a book vs. I read a book

To the best of my knowledge, in German, Präteritum is used only in writing, but I am not sure. If someone talks about what you are doing at a particular time in the past, how should he / she explain in the language spoken?

"You got up late in the morning and went to school soon, but when you ran to school you fell down and you lost your phone."

So, I would like to ask German indigenous people: How do you explain sentences "when you go to school" when speaking German?

Are you using Präteritum for English in the past tense? How do you explain it when not in use?

I like to read. By 2017, I have read 43 books so far. I mainly read about knowledge, or I think. However, after reading the reading, I noticed that I had not read it properly. I am not that harsh reader. I have read the information, but I do not necessarily need to read it. I am determined to change, I would like to share what I learned. While reading, few people truly understand the author 's information. According to Adler and Van Doron, this has several different readings. You can read entertainment, information or understanding. In most cases, we read amusement - our mind is reading passively, we are reading content easily, and finally if we remember what we read We are very lucky. If we are learning the mind when picking up a book, we probably will read that information.

I wrote about the hidden benefits of reading over and over. When you read a book for the second time, you often find insights you ignored when you first read it. I often see lots of books on a bookshelf. Reviewing these books will often give you ideas on articles among articles in my book, and even some books. I realized that I have to read books many times to actually get the book. Now I am reading Bob Proctor's 4th reading (over 3 years), and whenever I read it my income has increased very much. I remember what the purpose of each reading is, but in retrospect, everything got from the previous reading is complete.
