How to make questions in the PAST TENSE with To Be.

Unfortunately, no words can give you what you deserve, but at least you have my deep appreciation. many thanks for everything you do and I do believe that you have a message in your life that explains your thorough effort in presenting the English as easy as a piece of cake.

[@WoodwardEnglish]

Thank you for your kind words Walid. My personal goal is to help as many people as possible. Many people don't have access to classes or courses (due to money or location) so that is where I try to help. It takes me a long time to create material but little by little I get it done.

Great video! Why don't you make a video about Simple Past tense with DID in affirmative, negative and question forms as well?

[@WoodwardEnglish]

I have already started a video about the Past Simple Tense and should be ready within a week or two. It was supposed to be ready last week though I haven't been able to use one of my hands (after an accident) so I have had to wait.

[@ivanmurillo685]

[@rajkadam6609]

Yes mam

[@huangchchuangchangheng8974]

The main use of the past tense is for events, conditions, or states that once existed in or during some past time but that do not exist in the present.(English Verbs Tenses up close). Is it right? He was a teacher.(Maybe he is a teacher or not a teacher.)

[@WoodwardEnglish]

Exactly

[@shamraanas7075]

I have this doubt for long time,would be much helpful if anyone can give me the right answer. "It was played" Which is the correct question form for the above sentence. "Was it played?" Or "Was it play" The next doubt is what's the correct negative form. "It wasn't played" or "it wasn't play". Please do tell me the correct answer with explanation. Thanks in advance

[@WoodwardEnglish]

It was played .... needs more ... It was played BY many people This is the PASSIVE voice. I don't have a video about that yet. I wrote about it here: www.grammar.cl/Notes/Passive_Voice.htm
