What you should understandआपको क्या समझना है?

  • Use the past for anything finished, even one minute ago: 'I called him this morning.'
  • Most verbs just add -ed: worked, opened, finished; but many common ones change: go/went, buy/bought.
  • The past form is the same for every person: 'I went', 'she went', 'they went'.
  • In questions and negatives use did with the plain verb: 'Did you go?' 'I didn't go.'
