Past simple - questions

• For questions, ‘Do’ changes into ’did’

• After ‘did’, always use the infinitive (hele werkwoord). The past tense is already in the word ‘did’.

For a form of ‘to be’ (= am/is/are), let your verb swap places with your subject (I/you/she/he etc) and change into the past (was/were)

Negative sentences / negations

Present simple	Past simple - negative
Do you see that? No I don't	Did you see that? No I didn't
He is not my best friend	He was not my best friend
I am not happy	I was not happy
He leaves early	He didn't leave early
He buys a laptop	He didn't buy a laptop

Negative sentences / negations

For a negation, you need to use ‘not’ gebruiken. Put 'not' behind 'did'.
Remember to use 'did' in the past simple, and not 'do'!
Do not  = don’t
Did not = didn’t

Past simple

Word order in the past simple:

1. Yesterday we walked home.
1. We walked home yesterday

2. Beyonce was on the cover of Vogue last month.

2. Last month Beyonce was on the cover of Vogue.

De tijdsbepaling mag helemaal vooraan óf helemaal achteraan. NOOIT in het midden!
