1. Kalimat Menyangkal ( Negative

Kalimat
negatif simple past tense dibuat dengan did dan not. Did adalah bentuk lampau
dari kata kerja to do. Did dan not sering disingkat menjadi didn’t.

Contoh:
-
I arrived in London on Monday -> I didn’t arrive on Sunday.

Hotel.
Karena
“did” merupakan bentuk lampau, maka kata kerja utama tidak mengalami perubahan.

2.
They didn’t come to my house yesterday afternoon
