Study Notes
Forming Negatives in the Past Tense
- The negative of regular and irregular verbs in the past tense is formed using "did not" + verb (without changing the verb's form).
- Examples: He did not see the movie, Ravi did not tell a lie, Shyam did not go for the picnic.
Forming Interrogative in the Past Tense
- The interrogative is formed by changing the position of "did" and placing it before the subject.
- Examples: Did he see the movie?, Did Ravi tell a lie?, Did Shyam go for the picnic?
Irregular Verbs
- Irregular verbs like "go", "come", "see", "find", etc. and "be" and "have" form their past tense in other ways.
- Examples: work becomes worked, create becomes created, want becomes wanted.
Using the Past Tense
- The past tense is used to describe a situation that existed in the past over a period or an activity that took place regularly in the past.
- Examples: We played our 'daily match' with a tennis ball, I loved to linger over the autograph of every player at my uncle's house.
Using "Would" and "Used to"
- "Would" and "used to" are used to describe an action that happened regularly in the past.
- Examples: When I was a small child I used to play many games at school, My teacher would always tell me that I would become a great football player.
