Did Story
Sebastián Núñez Miranda
This is the story of two twin brothers called “Did”.
One brother “Did” was always with his best
friend “Not”.
And the other brother “Did” was always with his
best friend “Question Mark”
They were auxiliary verbs, and when people were in trouble, the twin brothers and their friends were always ready to help
anyone.
Auxiliary verbs
One day at Liceo Barón…there were two students.
Hi bro, how are you?
Hi! I’m fine.
Very good, I went to the Alejo Barrios
Park.
And, how was your
Independence Day
Celebration?
And…you eat
anticucho?
Ah? I don’t’ understand… is that a question?
YES! it is a question, but I
don’t know how to make
questions in the past.
But, don’t worry, let’s call the Did brothers, they
can help us.
Did brother auxiliary
verbs at your service.
yeah sure, I'm on the way.
Hello, I have a problem, my friend doesn’t know how
to make a question
sentence in the simple past. Can
you help him?
So, “Did” and his best friend “Question mark” went to help the
students at Liceo Barón.
Hi Did, can you
help me?
Okay, this is very
simple.
Using Did in questions.We use Did to make questions in simple past. And when we do so, the verb goes in its base form, not in its past form.For example:
- I ate lots of empanadas last weekend.We have the verb to eat, and its past form is ate.
If we wanted to make a question in the past, it would be like this:-Did you eat empanadas last weekend?-Did you ate empanadas last weekend?
Did+ Subject +Verb (base form)
More examples:• Did I understand the story?• Did you go to the ramadas?• Did he eat anticuchos?• Did she fly a kite?• Did we drink chicha?• Did they dance cueca?
Thank you “Did” and “Question
mark”
You´re welcome, see you
next time.
And… Did you eat
anticuchos last
weekend?
Emm… no, because I’m
a vegetarian.

End of part one…

Another day at Liceo Barón, in the English class…
When suddenly…
CrasH!!

Ah?... I don’t understand what you’re
saying. Is that a negative
sentence in the simple
past?
Yes, it is, but I don’t know how to say it.
But, don’t worry,
let’s call the Did
brothers.

Did brother auxiliary
verbs at your service.
Okay no problem,
I'm on the way.
Hello, we have problem, I have a
student who needs your help, he can't make a negative sentence in the
simple past.
So, “Did” and his best friend “Not” went to help the students at Liceo
Barón.
hello students!, this
is very simple... I'll explain it to
you.
Using Did in negative.We use Did to make negative sentences in simple past. And when we do so, the verb goes in its base form, not in its past form.For example:
- I threw a paper plane in class last Monday.We have the verb to throw and its past form is threw.
If we wanted to make a negative sentence in the past, it would be like this:
-I didn’t throw a paper plane in class last Monday.-I didn’t threw a paper plane in class last Monday.
Subject +Did +not + Verb (base form)
More examples:• I didn’t understand the story.• You didn’t go to the ramadas.•He didn’t eat anticuchos.• She didn’t fly a kite.•We didn’t drink chicha.• They didn’t dance cueca.
Thanks “Did” and “Not” for your help!
You’re welcome, see you
next time.
I didn’t break the projector!!
Then, who did it?
The End
