Grammar Rule and Examples
The rule is: Subject + did not / didn't + base form of the verb. For example, 'I played football yesterday' becomes 'I did not play football yesterday' or 'I didn't play football yesterday'. Remember, the main verb does not change its form after 'didn't'.
- Structure: Subject + didn't + base verb.
- Do not add '-ed' or change the verb to irregular past form after 'didn't'.
