PAST SIMPLE – INTERROGATIVE

TO FORM THE INTERROGATIVE FORM IN THE PAST

OF REGULAR AND IRREGULAR VERBS, WE NEED THE

AUXILIARY “DID”. WE WRITE IT AT THE

BEGINNING OF THE SENTENCE.

REMEMBER THAT WHEN WE USE THE

AUXILIARY “DID” THE MAIN VERB IN THE

SENTENCE STAYS IN THE INFINITIVE FORM.

EX. DID HE GO TO SCHOOL YESTERDAY?
