Lesson 19. Past Simple (Had)

Past Simple (Had)

 

Boy: Grandpa, did you have a TV when you were five?

                      Grandfather:  No, I didn't. People didn't have TV's then. They had radios. 

 

• The past simple of the verb have (got) is had. It is the same in all persons. 

                                                            Ben had toothache yesterday.

 

 ( - )

 We form negations with did not and have.

 

I didn't have many toys when I was a child.

We form questions with the auxiliary verb did, the subject pronoun and the verb have.

 

Did you have many teddy bears when you were a child?
