5. Образуйте отрицательную форму глаголов в Past Simple

В Past Simple отрицательная форма образуется с помощью вспомогательного глагола did not (didn't) и основного глагола в начальной форме (без частицы to).

Формула: Подлежащее + did not (didn't) + глагол (V1).

7. They saw Nick last month. They didn't see Nick last month.

8. She usually sang at the parties. She didn't usually sing at the parties.

Важно: После didn't глагол всегда используется в начальной форме: came → come, spent → spend, went → go, saw → see, sang → sing.

6. Образуйте вопросительную форму глаголов в Past Simple (общие вопросы)

Общие вопросы в Past Simple образуются с помощью вспомогательного глагола Did, который ставится перед подлежащим. Основной глагол используется в начальной форме.

Формула: Did + подлежащее + глагол (V1) + ...?

Исключение — глагол to be: формы was/were ставятся перед подлежащим, без вспомогательного глагола did.

1. He worked here in 2011. Did he work here in 2011?

2. Mother returned at 5 o’clock. Did mother return at 5 o’clock?

3. She phoned yesterday. Did she phone yesterday?

6. We had supper at 6 o’clock. Did we have supper at 6 o’clock?

7. She sent the letter 2 days ago. Did she send the letter 2 days ago?

8. I saw this performance last week. Did I see this performance last week?

Важно: После did основной глагол употребляется в начальной форме: worked → work, returned → return, had → have, sent → send, saw → see. В четвёртом предложении используется Was, поскольку was — это прошедшая форма глагола to be.

7. Перепишите следующий текст, поставив глаголы в прошедшем времени

Текст в Past Simple:

My working day began at seven o’clock. I got up, switched on TV-set and did my morning exercises. It took me fifteen minutes. At half past seven my wife and I had breakfast. We left home at eight o’clock. I took a bus to my office. My wife worked not far from our house, so she went there on foot.

Перевод текста

Мой рабочий день начинался в семь часов. Я вставал, включал телевизор и делал утреннюю зарядку. Это занимало у меня пятнадцать минут. В половине восьмого мы с женой завтракали. Мы выходили из дома в восемь часов. Я ехал на автобусе в офис. Моя жена работала недалеко от нашего дома, поэтому она ходила туда пешком.

Изменение глаголов из Present Simple в Past Simple

Правило: В Past Simple правильные глаголы образуются прибавлением окончания -ed (work → worked, switch → switched). Неправильные глаголы имеют особую форму прошедшего времени, которую необходимо запомнить (begin → began, get → got, do → did, take → took, have → had, leave → left, go → went).

В результате во всех предложениях упражнения № 7 действия перенесены из настоящего времени в прошедшее, при этом смысл исходного текста сохранён.
