Questions past simple - English lesson

We use "did" to ask questions in the past simple with most verbs.

✅ Did he go?
❌ Did he went?

🔹 Note: The main verb stays in the infinitive form without "to" (the base form).

❌ Did he went? → The verb is already in the past with "did", so we don't use the past form again.
❌ Was he go?
❌ Is he go?
❌ Has he go?
✅ Did he go?

✅ Was he happy?
❌ Did he be happy?

🔹 Rules:

• Use "was/were" with adjectives or with the verb "to be" in the past.

• Use "did" with all other verbs.
