🔍 Explanation:

- For positive statements, we change the verb to its past simple form.
- For negatives, we use didn’t + base verb.
- For questions, we use Did + subject + base verb?
- The past simple is used for actions that happened at a specific time in the past or were completed.

This worksheet helps students practice converting between tenses while understanding how auxiliary verbs ("did") are used in negatives and questions.
