This sentence is an simple past and not an simple present.

No articles.

(but if you had needed an article it would have been 'a' not 'an', as simple begins with 's').

Thank you.

 [I have already learnt articles from many source but still I am confusing with the use of articles]

Could you tell me why here articles are not used? [I might get some idea about use of articles by your replies]
