In a sentence

病院(びょういん)hospitalに行(い)ったwent

I went to the hospital

How it works

に (to) marks 病院(びょういん) (hospital) as the destination of the movement. The verb 行く(いく) (go) shifts to plain past 行った(いった) (went) — note the small tsu: 行く(いく) (go) is irregular and becomes 行った(いった) (went), not the expected pattern. It's casual, with no です (is) or polite ending.
