Answer 2

The Past Simple tense is used to describe completed actions in the past. It is formed by adding "-ed" to the base form of the verb, or "-d" if the base form already ends in an "e". For example, "walk" becomes "walked", and "go" becomes "went". However, there are some irregular verbs that do not follow this rule, such as "be", "have", and "do", and they must be memorized .

Negative sentences in the Past Simple tense are formed by adding the auxiliary verb "did not" (or "didn't") before the present tense verb form. For example, "I did not go to the party" .

Questions in the Past Simple tense are formed by adding "did" before the subject, and the infinitive form of the verb after it. For example, "Did you go to the party?" .

Now, let's fill in the brackets in your exercises using the Past Simple tense:

1. I did my English exercises yesterday. 2. Did Susanto go to England by plane? 3. They did visit a farm two weeks ago. 4. Did Jenny and Peggy help their brother? 5. The children were not at home last weekend. 6. When did you design this wonderful skirt? 7. My mother did not crash into the van. 8. The boys did take off the mudguards of their bicycles. 9. Did you phone your aunt last week?

Please note that these sentences are in the negative form, so the auxiliary verb "did" is used. For example, "Did Jenny and Peggy help their brother?" translates to "Jenny and Peggy did not help their brother".
