    Verb Forms and Past Actions

    • The past simple form is used to indicate that an action occurred at a specific time in the past, distinct from the present.
    • Regular past simple verbs are formed by adding "-ed" to the base form of the verb, e.g., "walk" becomes "walked."

    Connecting Past Actions

    • The past perfect tense is utilized to show the relationship between two past actions or situations, indicating which occurred first.

    Negative and Question Forms

    • The negative form of the past simple is constructed with "did not" (or "didn't") followed by the base form of the verb, e.g., "I did not walk."
    • The question form of the past simple is created using "did" followed by the subject and then the base form of the verb, e.g., "Did you walk?"
