    STRUCTURES

    The structure for positive sentences in the past simple tense is:
    subject+main verb


    past
    The structure for negative sentences in the past simple tense is:
    subject+auxiliary verb+not+main verb


    did


    base
    The structure for question sentences in the past simple tense is:
    auxiliary verb+subject+main verb
    did


    base
    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
    main verb
    +I

    wentto school.
    You

    workedvery hard.
    -Shedidnotgowith me.
    Wedidnotworkyesterday.
    ?Didyou
    goto London?
    Didthey
    workat 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/itwas
    here.
    You, we, theywere
    in London.
    -I, he/she/itwasnotthere.
    You, we, theywerenothappy.
    ?WasI, he/she/it
    right?
    Wereyou, we, they
    late?
