We use the SIMPLE PAST to talk about PAST events. We ONLY CHANGE the verbs in AFFIRMATIVE answers. The verbs can be REGULAR (ED) or IRREGULAR (go – went / take – took) INTERROGATIVE: Did you cook last weekend? AFFIRMATIVE: Yes, I did. / Yes, I cooked pasta last weekend. NEGATIVE: No, I didn’t. / No, I didn’t cook last wee kend. But note the difference: INTERROGATIVE: Were you busy yesterday? AFFIRMATIVE: I was very busy yesterday. NEGATIVE: I wasn’t very busy yesterday.
