Use of Past Tense-2

Use of Past Tense-2

Let us today work on something we learnt a few days ago: the rule which says that you can’t have two past forms in a single statement; that is, if you have the helping verb ( do) before the main verb ( fly, eat, give…) then the helping verb takes the past form ( did ). Following this rule now, correct the following statements, if required (remember, a few statements will be correct)

* I didn’t took your phone.
* Did you send those mails?
* You didn’t got good grades in English last time, so you must practise more.
* The policy didn’t covered the accident cases.
* I did find your performance quite impressive.
* He didn’t ate his breakfast in the morning.
* Did you broke my glasses?
* The police didn’t ran fast enough to catch the thieves.
* Didn’t you woke up on time today?
* They didn’t find any clue to solve this case.

Once you are through, check your answers here:
* didn’t take
* correct statement
* didn’t get
* didn’t cover
* correct statement
* didn’t eat
* did … break
* didn’t run
* didn’t …. wake
* correct statement
