    NEGATIVE FORM
    • In the negative form there is no
    difference between regular and
    irregular verbs.
    • We need an auxiliary verb: DID + not
    did not = didn’t
    • After didn’t we add the infinitive of
    the verb
    He studied → He didn’t study
    I went → He didn’t go
    YES- NO Questions –
    Short Answers
    • In the interrogative form we put DID in front of
    the subject.

    • After the subject we use the infinitive.

    • For short answer we use S+ DID or DIDN’T
