RayenHi, Hana! What did you do last week?

HanaOn Saturday, I got up early and went for a run with my dad. Then I cleaned my room and did the dishes. Yesterday, I called my grandma. And you?

RayenI didn't do much. We weren't at home — we were at my aunt's house in Nabeul. We ate couscous and watched a documentary. Oh, and two days ago, my brother made pancakes for breakfast!

⏪ Was, Were & Negatives

A quick review — then practice! The verb be has two forms in the past, and most verbs make their negative with did not.

⏪ was / were

I, he, she, it → was · you, we, they → were

He was tired yesterday.

They were happy in Tozeur.

🚫 didn't + base

did not → didn't + base verb

They didn't like the movie.

We didn't meet Karim yesterday.

🚫 wasn't / weren't

was not · were not

Frank wasn't happy in the rain.

We weren't at home yesterday.

⚡

After didn't, the verb goes back to its base form: We didn't meet (~~met~~) him. · She didn't go (~~went~~). In spoken English, did not is usually contracted to didn't.
