Многие глаголы в past simple оканчиваются на -ed или -е.

Если правильный глагол оканчивается на -е, то мы присоединяем -d для образования past simple.

smoke /smoked hope/hoped dance/danced confuse/confused

Во всех остальных случаях правильные глаголы образовывают past simple посредством окончания -ed.

Но многие важные глаголы неправильные. Это значит, что они образовывают past simple
не с помощью  -ed или  -е.

В вопросительных и отрицательных предложениях с past simple
 мы используем did/didn't + инфинитив (do/open/rain и т.д.):

Запомните, что обычно используются did/didn't с have:

Но с глаголом be (was/were) мы не употребляем did:

- Was he at home yesterday?
