Past simple - questions

• Bij vragen verandert de ‘Do’ in ’did’

• Na ‘did’ gebruik je altijd het hele werkwoord. De verleden tijd zit dan al verstopt in ‘did’.

Heb je een vorm van ‘to be’ (= am/is/are), dan verschuift die naar voren en zet je die ook in de verleden tijd (was/were)

How are you doing?	How were you doing?

Do you know where I can find her?	Did you know where I can find her?

Negative sentences / negations

Bij een ontkenning moet je ‘not’ gebruiken. Plak deze aan het hoofdwerkwoord in de zin.
Denk eraan dat het werkwoord in de verleden tijd gezet moet worden!
Do not  = don’t
Did not = didn’t
