I don’t understand why this translates in the present as well as in the historic past?

Je perdis l’équilibre
This question relates to:French lesson "Recognising regular -dre verbs in the historic past in French (Le Passé Simple)"
Asked 5 months ago

Hi kate,
"I lost my balance" is the verb 'to lose' in the past tense.
"I lose my balance"
would be the present tense.
Hope this helps!
