1 To make yes/no questions in the past simple we use:

did + subject + verb.

Did you go to the park?

Did + subject + verb

2 We use did/didn’t in the short answer.

Did she work in the garden? Yes, she did./No, she didn’t.
Did he play tennis? Yes, he did./No, he didn’t.
Did they tidy the house? Yes, they did./No they didn’t.

We make questions in the same way for regular and
irregular verbs. All subjects are the same (I, you, she,
he, it, we, they).

Regular
Did he clean the car?
Did you visit your family?

Irregular
Did she do the washing?
Did they go shopping?

NOTE: We use the infinitive (without to) and not the

past simple after did.
Did you have a good time? NOT Did you had a good time?
