To form the affirmative sentences, it is necessary to follow the correct grammar structure. Noun or Personal Pronoun Verb in Past Tense Complement EXAMPLE HE IN THE CHAIR SAT NEXT

We use the auxiliary DID when we are talking about the past tense, for the negative or interrogative statements. We use the same auxiliary DID for all the pronouns even if they are singular or plural. Example: you fish last week? DID We sleep last night DIDN´T

To form the negative sentences, we use the same structure of the affirmative ones. We just use the short or long form of the auxiliary did in a negative way. DID NOT SHE Example: DIDN´T FOLLOW ME He walked. He didn’t walk. I did my homework. I didn’t do my homework.

To write questions it is necessary to write first the auxiliary DID followed by the pronoun, main verb, complement and finally the question mark. DID YOU LOOK AT ME DID HE LOOK AT ME ? Did you go to work yesterday? Yes, I did. No, I didn’t When did she arrive? She arrived yesterday

DID YOU SLEEP IN CLASS LAST WEEK? YES, I SLEPT IN CLASS LAST WEEK. DID YOU DRINK LAST MONTH? MILKSHAKE YES, I DRANK MILKSHAKE LAST MONTH.
