Task 2. Correcting Mistakes in Past Simple
These sentences contain common errors in the formation of the Past Simple tense. Let's correct them by applying the correct grammatical rules.
- 9. She didn't go to school. (After 'didn't', the main verb must be in its base form.)
- 10. Did he eat lunch? (After 'Did', the main verb is in its base form.)
- 11. I saw a whale yesterday. ('Yesterday' indicates the Past Simple tense, and the past form of 'see' is 'saw'.)
- 12. They didn't buy a gift. (After 'didn't', the main verb must be in its base form.)
- 13. He slept well. (The past tense of 'sleep' is 'slept'.)
- 14. We didn't swim in the pool. (After 'didn't', the main verb must be in its base form.)
- 15. What did you do yesterday? (After 'Did', the main verb must be in its base form. 'Did did' is incorrect.)
- 16. She didn't write a letter. (After 'didn't', the main verb must be in its base form.)
