PAST SIMPLE TENSE
We use Past Simple to talk about actions or events
that happened and were completed in the past.

POSITIVE FORM
Start with the subject, add the past form of the verb.
Pay attention to the regular and irregular verbs.
Examples: “I danced at the party.” (regular)
“We went to the zoo last weekend.” (irregular)

NEGATIVE FORM
Use "did not" (didn't) before the base form of the verb to
form negative sentences.
Examples: “He didn't play soccer yesterday.”
“They didn't eat pizza for dinner.”

QUESTION FORM
Begin with "did," add the subject,
and then add the base form of the verb.
Examples: “Did you watch the movie?”
”Did she visit the museum?”
