Как это устроено

1. Глагол to be в Past Simple. Форма зависит только от подлежащего: I / he / she / it → was, we / you / they → were. Поэтому в упражнении 1: They were, а всё остальное (My English, He, I, It) — was. У to be особые вопрос и отрицание, без did: Was Mike a student? — Mike wasn't a student.

2. Обычные глаголы в Past Simple. Правильные получают -ed: work → worked, switch → switched, brush → brushed. Неправильные берутся из таблицы: get → got, begin → began, take → took, have → had, leave → left, sleep → slept, drink → drank, do → did.

3. Вопрос и отрицание для всех глаголов, кроме to be: \[ \text{Did} + \text{подлежащее} + \text{инфинитив}? \qquad \text{подлежащее} + \text{didn't} + \text{инфинитив} \] Глагол после did / didn't теряет -ed и возвращается в начальную форму: Did he work?, а не Did he worked? У have в значении «иметь» по школьной норме: didn't have, Did Helen have…?

Проверка. Самое частое место ошибок — 13 и 17: там took (не taked). В 16 Mike — это he, значит was, и вопрос строится перестановкой: Was Mike…? В 18 и 19 you требует were. В 20 it — was. В 11 три действия подряд, и все три стоят в Past Simple: got up, switched on, brushed.
