Penjelasan:

Semua kaliamat soal adalah dalam bentuk simple past tense, jadi kita gunakan sesuai kaidah kalimatnya.

Seperti kita ketahui jika kalimatnya adalah kalimat yang menggunakan verb, maka untuk kalimat positif, kaidahnya adalah

Subject + Verb 2 + sisa kalimat.

Contoh lihat soal 7:

It happened a week ago

It = subjek, happened = verb 2

Dalam kalimat negatif dan kalimat tanya, kita memerlukan auxiliary verb (verb pembantu) yaitu did.

Contoh soal 8: I didn't have time to break my bike. (kalimat negatif)

Contoh soal 6: How did you break your left arm? (kalimat tanya)

Seperti kita lihat, ketika kita menambahkan auxiliary did maka verb nya kembali ke verb 1, tidak lagi verb 2 sebagaimana kalimat positif.

Jadi bukan begini:

I didn't had time...

How did you broke....

Tapi balik ke verb 1

Dalam kalimat simple past yang tidak menggunakan verb tapi to be maka digunakan was atau were.

Kalau kalimat negatif tinggal ditambahkan not (was not/wasn't atau were not/weren't). Dan kalimat tanya/interogatifnya kita pindahkan was/were ke awal kalimat.

Contoh soal: 9: Were you at the jogging track last Monday afternoon?

Kalimat posisitfnya: You were at the jogging track last Monday afternoon.

Kalimat negatifnya: You weren't at the jogging track last Monday afternoon.

Contoh lain:

I was a soldier (+)

I wasn't a soldier (-)

Was I a soldier? (?)
