Глагольное время Past Simple образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола did в отрицательных и вопросительных предложениях, как для правильных, так и неправильных глаголов. В утвердительных предложениях, в случае правильного глагола, к базовой форме прибавляется окончание ed, а если глагол является неправильным - ставится вторая форма глагола (Past Participle).
Структуры вопросительного и отрицательного предложений:
? Вспомогательный глагол did + подлежащее + глагол в базовой форме + остальные члены предложения.

Замечание
В случае, когда глагол заканчивается на букву -y, таковая меняется на -i, после этого добавляется окончание ed.
Слова, которые состоят из из одного ударного слога, в конце удваивают последнюю согласную букву при добавлении окончания ed.
