当句子中有明显的过去时间状语，可根据上下文注意：实义动词作谓语时，一般疑问句要加助动词did，否定句加didn’t，加了助动词之后，原来的动词要用原形。如：He went shopping yesterday.Did he go shopping yesterday?

到底何时使用did？

did和其它助动词一样，本身无意义，自己不能独立作谓语，只能和其它主要动词一起构成谓语，用于构成一般过去时的否定句和疑问句，当然也常常用于代替上文中的行为动词的过去式。如:

I didn't go to school last Sunday. 上周日我没上学。

Did you buy a new pen yesterday? 昨天你买了枝新钢笔吗？

did身后的动词到底用什么形式？

有的小朋友总不注意did身后的动词用什么形式，在否定句和疑问句中，

did身后的动词必须用原形。 “他昨天没有在家吃午饭。”

[误] He didn't had lunch at home yesterday.

[正] He didn't have lunch at home yesterday.

3. 我能用be动词代替吗？

不管怎么说，含有行为(实义)动词的一般过去时的肯定句变成否定句或疑问句时，不能用be动词，必须用到did！含be动词的句子构成否定句或疑问句都绝不会让did露面！

例句：They went to the park last week. (改为否定句)

[误] They weren't go to the park last week.

[正] They didn't go to the park last week.
