Past simple - sentence structure
The past simple tense is a verb tense form that indicates that an action is completed in the past.
For regular verbs, we add -ed.
For irregular verbs, there is a special past tense form.
Here is how to construct a sentence in the past simple.
Affirmative (+)
Subject (I, you, he ,she etc) + verb in past tense+ rest of the sentence
I swam yesterday
I saw my cousins
we danced at school
Negative (-)
When we use the negative, we don’t change the main verb.
We use ‘did not /didn’t’ instead
I didn't SWIM yesterday
I didn't SEE my cousins
We didn't DANCE at school
Question (?)
To make a question, we add DID at the beginning of the sentence and we don’t change the main verb.
Did I swim yesterday?
Did I see my cousins?
Did we dance at school?
Example:
(+) I went to Spain last week
(- ) I did not go to Spain last week
(? ) did you go to spain last week?
