Verbs in Simple Past Tense

The past tense of regular verbs is marked by the suffix "ed", or marked by "d" if the verb ends in "e", or marked by "ied" if finished by "y" after a consonant. Have irregular verbs have their own forms, and if you have any questions just ask the last table of the irregular verbs in the same site.

 As shown in the table below some regular verbs in the simple past:

In affirmative sentences, the form of the simple past is: subject + verb + complement past. 

She broke her leg. (She broke her leg). 

He Studied a lot yesterday. (He studied hard yesterday). 

The dog barked a lot last night. (The dog barked enough last night). 

They woke up late this morning. (They woke up late this morning). 

For negative sentences is necessary to use the auxiliary "did" + "not" for all people. The helper should always come after the subject. It can come in its complete form, "did not", or abbreviated, "did not". Because we are now using the auxiliary of the past, "did", the verb must always be in the infinitive without the "to" and never conjugated in the past. 

They did not wash the car this weekend. (They did not wash the car this weekend). 

We did not send emails to our parents. (We do not send emails to our parents). 

I did not see Jack at the party yesterday. (I did not see Jack at the party last). 

She did not cut her nails. (She did not cut her nails). 

In interrogative sentences, as well as the negative, it is necessary to use auxiliary "did", so it is worth recalling that the verb should never come conjugate. In the construction of interrogative sentences, puts himself first auxiliary "did" followed by subject + verb in the infinitive without "to" + Completion. 

Did Mary and Carol go to the mall last week? (Mary and Carol went to the mall last week?).
