The negative form of Simple Past Tense
The negative form of Simple Past Tense is used to describe an action or event that did not happen in the past. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb “did not” (or its contracted form “didn’t”) followed by the base form of the main verb. Here’s the structure:
Subject + did not (didn’t) + base form of verb
For example:
- She did not (didn’t) go to the party last night.
- They did not (didn’t) finish their homework on time.
- He did not (didn’t) eat breakfast this morning.
- We did not (didn’t) meet at the park yesterday.
Note that in negative sentences, “did not” (or “didn’t”) always comes before the base form of the main verb, regardless of the subject.
