FORME INTERROGATIVA E NEGATIVA DEL SIMPLE PAST TENSE
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.
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.
FRASE AFFERMATIVA | NEGATIVA INFORMALE | NEGATIVA FORMALE |
I had a car | I didn't have a car | I did not have a car |
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 |
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.
