SIMPLE PAST

The "simple past" is used to talk about an action that ended in a time before the current one. The duration is not relevant. The time in which the action is located may be the recent past or a distant past.

examples:

PAST TENSE

For this time we will use the following structure:

Subject / verb in past / complement

AND THE AUXILIARY DID (POSITIVE) DID NOT (NEGATIVE) IS USED

1. Example (positive):

2. To perform an affirmative sentence this structure will be followed and the verb will be in its past tense

I walked (walk)

you played (play)

he looked (look)

she wrote (write)

it cut (cut)

we read (read)

they went (go)

you watched (watch)

1. Question form

In the interrogative form the auxiliary will be first followed by the personal pronoun and here the verb is in present and finally the complement is added

(AUXILIARY DID Y VERB PRESENT)

Did I walk in the morning?

Did you play in the park?

Did he look the city?

Did she write my homework?

Did it cut the paper?

Did we read the book?

Did they go the supermarket?

Did you watch the movie last night?

1. Negative form

In the negative form it begins with the word NO, then the pronoun and then we will put the auxiliary (did not), at the end the complement

(AUXILIARY DID NOT Y VERB IN PRESENT)

No I did not walk in the morning

No you did not  play in the park

No he did not look  the city

No she did not write my homework

No it did not cut the paper

No we did not read the book

No they did not go the supermarket

PAST CONTINUOUS

The "past continuous" describes actions or events located in a time before the present, which begins in the past and has not yet concluded at the time of speaking. In other words, it expresses an incomplete or unfinished action of the past.

Note: with the verbs that are not usually conjugated in "past continuous", the "simple past" is normally used.

The "past continuous" of any verb is composed of two parts: the past of the verb "to be" (was / were) and the root of the main verb + ing
