Negative verbs in the Simple Past Tense (Verbes au Négatif au Simple Past Tense)

Review: negative verbs in the simple present
I eat -> I don't eat
You dance -> You don't dance
She speaks Russian -> She doesn't speak Russian

Alors, voici ce que vous faites au négatif:
Sujet + verbe auxilliare + "not" + verbe principal, toujours à l'infinitif

Le verbe "do" au simple past tense devient "did", et c'est conjugué la même pour tous les sujets:
I did
You did
He/She did
We did
They did

Puis, on ajoute le "not" et le verbe principal
I did not eat
You did not eat
He/She did not eat
We did not eat
They did not eat

Exception: to be
I wasn't
You weren't
He/She wasn't
We weren't
They weren't
