How do we make the Simple Past Tense?

To make the simple past tense, we use: past form only or auxiliary did + base form

Here you can see examples of the past form and base form for irregular verbs and regular verbs: V1 base V2 past V3 past participle regular verbwork explode like worked exploded liked The past form for all regular verbs ends in -ed. irregular verbgo see sing went saw sang gone seen sung The past form for irregular verbs is variable. You need to learn it by heart. You do not need the past participle form to make the simple past tense. It is shown here for completeness only.

The structure for positive sentences in the simple past tense is: Subject + past verb she read The structure for negative sentences in the simple past tense is: subject + auxiliary verb + not + main verb did base She didn’t read

The structure for question sentences in the simple past tense is: Auxiliary verb + subject+ main verb did base Did you read story?

The auxiliary verb did is not conjugated. It is the same for all persons (I did, you did, he did etc). And the base form and past form do not change. Look at these examples with the main verbs go and work: subjectauxiliary verb negativeverbobject + IWentTo school. youWorkedVery hard. - SheDidnotGoWith me. WeDidnotWorkyesterday. ? DidyougoTo London? DidtheyworkAt home?

Exception! The verb to be is different. We conjugate the verb to be (I was, you were, he/she/it was, we were, they were); and we do not use an auxiliary for negative and question sentences. To make a question, we exchange the subject and verb. Look at these examples : subjectmain verb +I, he/she/itwashere. You, we, theywerein London. -I, he/she/itwasNotthere. You, we, theywereNothappy. ?WasI, he/she/itright? Wereyou, we, theylate?

Here are some more examples: I lived in that house when I was young. He didn't like the movie. What did you eat for dinner? John drove to London on Monday. Mary did not go to work yesterday. Did you play tennis last week? I was at work yesterday. We were not late (for the train). Were you angry?
