I didn't study English

NEGATIVE FORM:

In the negative form we need to use the auxiliary did + not (didn’t). remember that when we use the auxiliary we put the verb in the INFINITIVE form. The auxiliary didn’t is used in the negative form with verbs that are not to be. DO NOT USE DIDN’T WITH WAS OR WERE!!!

Personal Information


Personal information questions are the basis for any conversation in English and so are important for when you meet somebody for the first time. They are the building blocks from which the rest of the conversation can develop.
Some common questions and a correct form for the answer are as follows:
  • What's your name?
  • How are you?
  • How old are you?
  • What's your telephone number?
  • What's your favorite color?
