Simple Past – Negative Form

 

✨ We use the simple past to talk about things that happened yesterday, last week, or in the past.

💬 How to make a negative sentence?

👉 Formula:

Subject + did not (didn’t) + base verb

✅ We don’t use the past tense of the verb — only the base form!

Sentence Type	Example
Positive	She played soccer.
Negative	She didn’t play soccer.
Positive	They ate pizza.
Negative	They didn’t eat pizza.

 ❗Remember:

• Use didn’t for all subjects (I, you, he, she, it, we, they).

• The main verb goes back to the base form (not past).
