explanation of the grammar rule:

Simple past : Negative form

To form the negative of a sentence in the Simple Past you need to use the past form of the auxiliary verb ‘do’ - that is ‘Forming the Negative of the simple past

To form the negative of a sentence in the Simple Past you need to use the past form of the auxiliary verb ‘do’ - that is ‘did‘ + ‘not‘ + the infinitive of the verb you want to use. For example - I did not play.

We often contract did and not into

one word - didn’t – for example:

I didn’t play
They didn’t play
She didn’t play

Notice that did and didn’t are invariable – they do not change no matter which pronoun you use.

The Same rule applies for irregular verbs:

Let’s look at leave,come and teach:

I didn’t leave
We didn’t come
He didn’t teach

Here’s an example with the very common irregular verb ‘to go’

She went to school yesterday.

Becomes in the negative:

She did not go to school yesterday.

Remember that ‘went’ is the past form of ‘go‘. I went I didn’t go

Regular verbs:

Very simple!

She talked to Martin last week.
She did not talk to Martin last wee

Grammar rule : negative past simple

example: he did not talk to her mother last week.

example: she didn´t play fotball

4.-MISTAKE:Then you choose a good dance music, because if the party have good music all the people get boring.

Then, you choose a good dance music because if the party doesn't have good music, everybody will get bored.

explanation of the grammar rule:

The simple past tense and the past continuous tense

We use the simple past tense to show a complete action and the past continuous tense to show an action in progress.

Example: Last night I stepped on a snake and it bit my leg. (simple past - complete actions)
Example: At eleven o'clock last night, I was looking for my car key. (past continuous – action in progress)

We use the simple past and past continuous tenses together to indicate an action happened while another was in progress.

Example: I was running away from a dog when I knocked an old lady to the ground. (past continuous and simple past tenses – knocked an old lady in the middle of running aways.

Grammar rule:simple past and grammar

example: i get bored in langue class

example: he doesn't want to tell me
