Образуване
I worked. I didn’t work.
Did I work? Didn’t I work?
Внимание!
При неправилните глаголи изпозлваме втората форма, за да образуваме минало време, но само в положителните, разказни изречения.
go-went-gone
She went to school yesterday at 8 o’clock.
She didn’t go to school.
Did she go to school?
Внимание!
Глаголът "съм" - to be е неправилен глагол. Формите му са: be-was/were-been. За да образуваме минало време, използваме втората форма. Отрицателните и въпросителните изречения се образуват по същия начин, както в сегашно време.
