Past Simple

• He went to Rotterdam yesterday.
• Aram saw a good movie last night.
• My father worked at a hospital until 1998.

All of these sentences are positive / affirmative.

In this lesson, we're going to learn how to make questions and negatives in the past simple.

Rewrite this as a question:
He went to Rotterdam yesterday.

Questions in the past simple

He went to Rotterdam yesterday. > Did he go to Rotterdam yesterday?

• Rule 1: You start with Did, followed by the subject (he/she/Laura/The doctor/My friend/etc.)
  
• After the subject, you get the main verb (go, run, play, see, dance, laugh, work, etc.). Do NOT use the past simple form.
  

Rewrite as a question:
Aram saw a good movie last night.

Rewrite as question:
My father worked at a hospital.

Some exceptions:

When the verb is to be or could, you don't use Did...

• Samar was in Iran last week. > Was Samar in Iran last week?
• They were very kind. > Were they very kind?
• Dembe could speak four languages. > Could Dembe speak four languages?
  

Negatives

•     He went to Rotterdam yesterday.
•     Aram saw a good movie last night.
•     My father worked at a hospital until 1998.

What do we have to write when we want to say that these things are not true? In that case, we have to use the negative (ontkennende) form.

Make negative: He went to Rotterdam yesterday.

Negatives in the past simple

He went to R'dam yesterday. >  He didn't go to R'dam yesterday.

Rule 1: you say didn't after the subject

Rule 2: didn't is followed by the main verb (go, see, dance, play)

-> He didn't went is therefore wrong!

Make negative:
Aram saw a good movie last night.

Make negative:
My father worked at a hospital.

Same exceptions:

When the verb is to be or could, you don't use didn't

• She was very smart. > She wasn't very smart.
• My neighbours were old. > My neighbours weren't old.
  
• Peter could play guitar. > Peter couldn't play guitar.
