The past simple tense is, of course, used to talk about things which have happened in the past. Here are a few points for you to review and rememeber
Past Simple is used to describe events which happened in the past.
Usually, these verbs end with –ed:
Play → Played = ‘Ringo played drums in The Beatles.’
Open → Opened = ‘I opened the window when it became too warm.’
Watch → Watched = ‘Michael watched Star Wars twice yesterday.’
However, English has many irregular verbs where the past tense does not take the –ed form. There is no reason why, or special rule, so you will just have to remember them when and as you find them. Here are some examples:
Go → Went = ‘Simon went to the bank yesterday.’
See → Saw = ‘He saw Madonna in concert last week.’
Take → Took = ‘Sam took her time to answer.’
We use did to ask questions about the past.
Did + noun/pronoun + infinitive:
Did you eat breakfast today?
Did Victoria leave?
Did they take the train?
Did is the past tense of 'do'. Didn’t means 'did not'.
We can give positive and negative answers using did:
Did you eat breakfast today?
→ No, I didn’t (eat breakfast).
→ Yes, I did (eat breakfast).
Here are a few examples of how we can use didn't to make negative statements:
'We didn't take a camera on holiday.'
'I didn't do anything over the weekend. I just stayed at home'.
'Elvis didn't sing that song. Buddy holly did.'
