    / It / We / They / It / We / They

    ?
    Did I / you / he / she / it / we / they work yesterday?

     
    Yes, I / you / he / she / it / we / they did. No, I / you
    / he / she / it / we / they didn’t.
    • Contraction: didn’t = did not.
    • Regular verbs in the past + end in -ed, e.g., worked, lived, played.
    • The simple past is the same for all persons (I, you, she, etc.).
    • Use auxiliaries did / didn’t + base form for simple past ? and –. Did is the
    past of do.
