Penjelasan:

1) Simple past tense dengan verb memiliki rumus:

Kalimat positive (+)

Subjek + verb 2 + sisa kalimat

Kalimat negative

Subjek + did not (disingkat didn't) + verb 1 + sisa kalimat

Kalimat Interogative

Did + subjek + verb 1 + sisa kalimat?

Contoh:

Soal 2:

(+) Mrs Rina bought a lot of daily needs in the supermarket

[bought adalah verb 2 dari buy]

(-) Mrs Rina did not (didn't) buy a lot of daily needs in the supermarket

(?) Did Mrs Rina buy a lot of daily needs in the supermarket

Perhatikan: dalam kalimat (-) dan (?) verb kembali ke verb 1 (buy)

Kenapa? Karena di sana ada penambahan auxiliary verb (kata kerja penolong) did

Nah, did sendiri sudah mengalami perubahan dari do/does menjadi did.

Karena itu main verb (verb utamanya) tidak usah dirubah ke verb 2 lagi.

Jadi dalam semua kalimat tanya dalam simple past tense termasuk yang menggunakan Why, How, Where, Which, Where, jika didalamnya sudah ada auxiliary verb did, maka verbnya kembali ke verb 1

Contoh soal 9:

Why didyoulike train better than bus to travel?

Kita bisa lihat, like sebagai main verb (kata kerja utama) di sana kembali ke verb 1 walaupun kalimat itu adalah kalimat dalam tense simple past.

Kenapa? Karena di sana ada auxiliary verb did

Soal nomor 4:

What didthe mando over there?

Kita lihat, main verb do tidak berubah ke verb 2 tapi tetap verb 1 walaupun kalimat itu kalimat simple past tense.

Kenapa? Karena ada did di sana sebagai verb penolong (auxiliary verb)

2) Simple past tense tanpa verb tapi dengan to be: was/were

Kalimat positive

Subjek + was/were + sisa kalimat

Kalimat negative

Subjek + was/were not + sisa kalimat

Kalimat Interogative

Was/were + subjek + sisa kalimat?

Contoh:

Soal nomor 1

(+) Mr. Hargo was sick (sick di sana bukan kata kerja, tapi kata sifat)

(-) Mr. Hargo was not (wasn't)  sick

(?) Was Mr. Hargo sick?

Contoh lain:

(+) My parents were teachers.

(-) My parents weren't teachers.

(?) Were My father teachers?
