Para as sentenças negativas precisamos do auxiliar DID NOT  ou  DIDN’T. Observe que o verbo “volta” a sua “primeira forma” quando acompanha o auxiliar no passado.

Sujeito + did not/didn’t + verbo(infinitivo sem “to”) + ... .

INTERROGATIVE SENTENCES
nas sentenças interrogativas usamos DID no início da sentença como auxiliar do Simple Past. Observe que na interrogativa o verbo também “volta” a sua “primeira forma” pois, acompanha o auxiliar no passado.
