The simple past.

According to the video, how is the simple past affirmative formed for regular verbs like "play"?

• By adding "-s" to the verb.

• By using the auxiliary "did" before the verb.

• By adding "-ed" to the verb.

• By using "was" or "were" before the verb.

What does the video explain about forming the simple past affirmative for irregular verbs, such as "write" (past simple "wrote")?

• They also add "-ed" just like regular verbs.

• They have a unique past form that needs to be memorized from a list.

• They use the auxiliary "did" plus the base form.

• They don't change from their present tense form.

Which auxiliary verb is used to form negative sentences in the simple past, according to the video?

• do not / don't

• was not / wasn't

• did not / didn't

• have not / haven't

When forming a negative sentence in the simple past (e.g., "They didn't ______ tennis"), what happens to the main verb ("play")?

• It stays in its past simple form (played).

• It changes to the present participle form (playing).

• It returns to its base form (play).

• It is omitted completely.

In a simple past question like "Did he ______ tennis?", what form should the main verb take?

• The -ed form (played)

• The base form (play)

• The -ing form (playing)

• The past participle form (played)
