1. PAST TENSE

When we talk about actions that started and finished in the past, we use past simple tense.

Where were you born? Were you born in Argentina?
I was born inArgentina. No, I wasn’t. I was born in Córdoba.

In these examples we use verb to be in past simple, as we know the verb to be is the only verb doesn’t need an auxiliary to dointerrogative or negative sentences.

When we talk using different verbs we need an auxiliary, which helps us to do negative or interrogative sentences, this auxiliary is “did”.
When did you move to LosAngeles?
I moved here ten years ago. I didn’t speak English.
Did you take English classes in Agentina?
No, I didn’t. My aunt taught me at home.

We can see in these examples that we don’t change theway of our main verb in our sentences, this because we have the auxiliary which indicates us that we are talking in past tense.
