This document provides instruction and examples for forming sentences in the past tense in English. It explains that the past simple is formed using "did" plus the base verb form, and does not change for subject ("he", "she", "it"). Examples are given for positive, negative, interrogative, and short answer forms of common verbs like "walk", "play", and "cook". A series of exercises follows for the reader to practice forming sentences in the past tense based on given prompts.

1. Mrs. Anabel Montes - English teacher

2. Past tense
• We make the past simple just
like the present simple except
we use 'did' instead of 'do /
does'. It's really easy because
'did' doesn't change, even with
'he / she / it'.

3. Affirmative with Other Verbs
I walked (regular)
you played (regular)
he cooked (regular)
she listened (regular)
it rained (regular)
we ate (irregular)
they drank (irregular)

4. Negative Negative Short Form
I did not walk I didn't walk
you did not play you didn't play

5. Questions
did I walk?
did you play?
