Answer 1

Ответ:

a) In the given text, there is no negative past form.

To form the negative past form in the past simple tense, we typically use the auxiliary verb "did" (in the past) + "not" + base form of the verb. For example: "I did not go to the party."

b) To form the interrogative form in the past simple tense, we typically use the auxiliary verb "did" (in the past) + subject + base form of the verb. For example: "Did you go to the party?"

Answer 2

a) To find a negative past form in the text, we would need to analyze the text you provide. Since you haven't provided any specific text, I cannot identify a negative past form. However, I can explain how the negative past form is generally formed in English.

In English, the negative past form is formed by using the auxiliary verb "did" in the past tense and adding the word "not" after it. The main verb remains in its base form (infinitive) without any tense markers. For example:

Positive: He went to the store. Negative: He did not go to the store.

In the negative form, "did" indicates the past tense, and "not" negates the action of the main verb "go."

b) To form the interrogative form in the past simple, we also use the auxiliary verb "did." In the past simple interrogative form, the subject and the auxiliary verb "did" are inverted. The main verb remains in its base form, without any tense markers. For example:

Statement: She studied for the exam. Interrogative: Did she study for the exam?

In the interrogative form, "did" is used to indicate the past tense and to form the question. The subject "she" and the auxiliary verb "did" are inverted, and the main verb "study" remains in its base form.
