Pasado Simple (negativa e interrogativa)

Forma negativa >	Forma negativa contraída>
Forma negativa	Forma negativa contraída
I did not play	I didn't play
You did not play	You didn't play
He did not play	He didn't play
She did not play	She didn't play
It did not play	It didn't play
We did not play	We didn't play
You did not play	You didn't play

El Pasado Simple en forma negativa tanto de los verbos regulares como de los verbos irregulares se forma añadiendo did not (o didn't) a la forma base del verbo. Es igual para todas las personas, en singular o plural. Fíjate que el verbo ya no lleva -ed como en la forma afirmativa.

Example: She didn't like the film. (A ella no le gustó la película.)

Example: We didn't win the match. (No ganamos el partido.)

El Pasado Simple en forma interrogativa de todos los verbos se forma colocando did delante del sujeto y después la forma base del verbo. Es igual para todas las personas, en singular o plural. Aquí el verbo tampoco lleva -ed. Como con todos los tiempos verbales, las respuestas cortas afirmativas nunca se contraen y las respuestas cortas negativas se contraen siempre.

Example: Did the students use the computers? Yes, they did. (¿Usaron los alumnos los ordenadores? Sí.)

Example: Did you go to the swimming pool? No, I didn't. (¿Fuiste a la piscina? No.)
