 STRUCTURE OF POSITIVE SENTENCES

To form sentences correctly in the simple past need we to know if

the verb is regular or irregular.
Subjet + verb + Complement
You worked very hard last week …………………(v r)
We went by bus in that occasion………………...(v i)
Structure of the Negative Sentence

• We use the negative auxiliary "did not" (or its contraction didn’t) and we
should not be interested if the sentence contains regular or irregular
verbs because for the negative we use the base form of the verbs.
Subjet + didn’t + verb (infinitive) + Complement
Example
You didn’t work very hard last week …………………(v r)
We didn’t go by bus in that occasion………………...(v i)
Structure of the Interrogative Sentence

preguntas.
• Para responder a las preguntas utilizamos la siguiente
estructura. No es necesario repetir el verbo de la pregunta,
sólo debemos utilizar “did” o “didn’t”.
