Explicação:

Simple Past

O Simple Past , também chamado de Past Simple (passado simples), é um dos tempos verbais do inglês. Ele é equivalente ao passado simples na língua portuguesa.

O Simple Past é usado para indicar ações passadas já concluídas, ou seja, para falar de fatos que já aconteceram; que começaram e terminaram no passado.

Negative Form (Forma Negativa)

Para construção de frases negativas no Simple Past, o verbo did é empregado como verbo auxiliar.

O verbo principal não é conjugado no passado, uma vez que o auxiliar já indica o tempo verbal.

Sua estrutura frasal é da seguinte forma:

Sujeito + did + not + verbo principal + complemento

Exemplo: She did not like the English teacher. (Ela não gostou da professora de inglês)

Obs.: a forma contraída de did not é didn’t.

Interrogative Form (Forma Interrogativa)

Da mesma maneira que acontece na forma negativa, o did é o verbo auxiliar utilizado para as frases interrogativas no Simple Past .

Veja a estrutura abaixo:

Did + sujeito + verbo principal + complemento

Exemplo: Did she like the English teacher? (Ela gostou da professora de inglês?)

Obs.: somente o verbo auxiliar (did) é conjugado no Simple Past. Não é necessário conjugar o verbo principal.
