Interrogative Form

In the same way that it happens in the negative form, the do is the auxiliary verb used in Simple Past for the interrogative phrases.

So, do (past) do at the beginning of the question. See the structure below:

Did + subject + main verb + complement

Example: Did she like the English teacher? Did she like the English teacher?

Note: only the auxiliary verb (did) is conjugated in Simple Past. It is not necessary to conjugate the main verb.

Simple past

Simple Past, also called Past Simple, is one of the English tenses. It is equivalent to the simple past in the Portuguese language.

When to use?

Simple Past is used to indicate past actions already completed, that is, to talk about facts that have already happened; which began and ended in the past.

To reinforce the use of this verb tense, many temporal expressions are used in sentences.

Here are some phrases in Simple Past with the expressions above:

We did not go to school yesterday.

His birthday was the day before yesterday.

She studied Math last night.

They visited their uncle last month.

I called you three days ago.

We learned how to dance samba last week.

Simple Past Training

The basic formation of Simple Past is done with the use of the auxiliary did in the negative and interrogative forms, and with the addition of -ed, -ied or -d to the end of the main verb in the infinitive, without the to, in the affirmative form.

Affirmative form (affirmative form)

Regular verbs

To use regular verbs in affirmative sentences in Simple Past, simply change the verb ending according to the following rules:

1. To the regular verbs ending in -e, only the -d is added at the end of the verb:

to love  – loved

to lie  – lied

to arrive– arrived

to like  – liked

2. To the regular verbs ending in consonant + vowel + consonant (CVC), duplicate the last consonant and add -ed:

stop (parar) – stopped

control (controlar) – controlled

plan (planejar) – planned

3. To the verbs ending in -y preceded by a consonant, remove the y and add the -ied:

to study (estudar) – studied

to worry (preocupar-se) – worried

to cry (chorar) – cried

to try (tentar) – tried

4. To the verbs ending in -y preceded by a vowel, only the -ed is added:

enjoy (aproveitar) – enjoyed

stay (ficar) – stayed

play(brincar; jogar) – played

Negative Form

To construct negative sentences in Simple Past, the verb is used as an auxiliary verb. Thus, we used did, which represents the irregular verb of the past. The main verb is not conjugated in the past, since the auxiliary already indicates the verb tense.
