PASADO SIMPLE EN NEGATIVO

Este curso de inglés básico, enseña las normas básicas de

gramática para el uso correcto del pasado simple en su forma
negativa, explica el cambio del verbo en una oración cuando pasa
a negativo, muestra la manera en la que se contrae, igualmente
expone la fórmula que se usa al realizar oraciones.

Lo primero que tenemos que recordar antes de aprender a

usar el pasado simple negativo en inglés, es cómo se utiliza el
verbo auxiliar DO/DOES en pasado. Para luego cambiarlo según las
reglas.

I Did
WE Did
YOU Did
THEY Did

You didn’t You did not
They didn’t They did not
he didn’t He did not
