UNIT 10

GRAMMAR Past Simple of Irregular Verbs : affirmative

As you can see there is more

than one way to form the past

simple of these verbs. This is

why they are called irregular verbs. This difference only

affects the affirmative, not the

negative or interrogative forms.

Past Simple of Irregular Verbs : negative and interrogative Study how we form the negative of the Past Simple of the irregular verbs:

Subject + did + not + infinitive of the verb (base form) Example : My sister did not forget my birthday party (didn't) And now look at more examples taken from the verbs in the affirmative list :

I didn't do You didn't put He didn't see She didn't buy It didn't take We didn't go You didn't write They didn't have

Study how we form the interrogative of the Past Simple of the irregular verbs: Did + subject + infinitive of the verb + ? Example question: Did your sister forget your birthday party?

Short answers: Yes, she did // No, she didn't

And now look at more examples : Did he see the crocodile? Yes, he did // No, he didn't

Did you write a letter? Yes, we did // No, we didn't

Did they go to the zoo? Yes, they did // No, they didn't

Time expressions The time expressions for the irregular verbs are the same as for the regular verbs. (See

Grammar section of unit 9)
