precedente    Indice Grammatica    successiva


Le forme negativa e interrogativa del Simple Past sono fatte usando l'ausiliare do nella sua forma passata, e cioè did, seguito dalla forma base del verbo principale.

FORMA NEGATIVA

Le negative del Simple Past sono formate aggiungendo didn't (informale) o did not (formale) davanti alla forma base del verbo. Il verbo essere fa eccezione, infatti è necessario aggiungere n't (informale) o not (formale) dopo was o were.

You drank my beer You didn't drink my beer You did not drink my beer
He was here yesterday He wasn't here yesterday He was not here yesterday
They were in the park They weren't in the park They were not in the park

FORMA INTERROGATIVA

Anche le interrogative vengono formate usando l'ausiliare did. Questa volta però, l'ausiliare viene posto davanti al soggetto. Il verbo essere fa eccezione, infatti è necessario porre il verbo essere davanti al soggetto, senza usare did.
