Lesson Objectives
🎯 What you will learn:
- How to ask questions about the past using “Did”.

- To practice asking questions with regular and irregular verbs.
🟦 What is the Simple Past – Question Form?
When you want to ask about something that happened in the past, you must use the simple past question form. You need to use the word “Did” at the beginning of the sentence.
🧒 Imagine this:
🔹 “You played football.” (statement)
🔹 “Did you play football?” (question)
🧠 How to Make a Question in the Simple Past
Here is the structure:
Did + subject + base verb + … ?
🔸 “Did she eat breakfast?”
🔸 “Did they go to the park?”
🔸 “Did you watch the movie?”
❗ Remember: After “Did,” always use the base form of the verb — not the past form!
✅ Regular & 🔀 Irregular Verb Examples
Regular Verb Example
Positive: They cleaned the house.
Question: Did they clean the house?
Irregular Verb Example
Positive: He went to the shop.
Question: Did he go to the shop?
⚠️ NEVER say: “Did he went…” → Say: “Did he go…”
❓ Short Answers
When someone asks you a Yes/No question, here’s how you answer:
| Question | Yes Answer | No Answer |
|---|---|---|
| Did you go to school? | Yes, I did. | No, I didn’t. |
| Did she eat breakfast? | Yes, she did. | No, she didn’t. |
| Did they play football? | Yes, they did. | No, they didn’t. |
🗣️ Example Questions & Time Words
Remember to use past time words like yesterday, last night, two days ago, last year, in 2020.
Did you walk to school yesterday?
Did he play football on Saturday?
Did she cook dinner last night?
Did they go to the zoo two days ago?
Did we see that movie?
Conclusion & Summary
✅ Let’s Remember!
- Use “Did” to ask about the past.
- The verb stays in base form (no -ed, no past form).
- Use short answers: Yes, I did. / No, I didn’t.
- Use time words like yesterday, last week, ago.
