What is Past Indefinite Tense ?

The Past Indefinite tense, also known as the Simple Past tense, is a verb tense that is used to describe actions or events that took place in the past and are now finished or completed. In this tense, regular verbs form the past tense by adding “-ed” to the base form of the verb, while irregular verbs have their own unique past tense forms.

Past Indefinite Negative Tense.

To form the negative of the Past Indefinite tense, also known as Simple Past tense, we use the auxiliary verb “did” followed by “not” (didn’t), and the base form of the main verb.

Subject+ Did + Not + Verb (Base Form) + Object
I didn’t walk to the store yesterday

Here are some examples of negative sentences in the Past Indefinite tense:

  • I didn’t walk to the store yesterday. (میں کل اسٹور پر نہیں گیا تھا۔)
  • She didn’t sing a song at the concert last night. (اس نے کل رات کنسرٹ میں کوئی گانا نہیں گایا)
  • He didn’t study for the test. (اس نے امتحان کے لیے مطالعہ نہیں کیا۔)
  • They didn’t play tennis every weekend when they were younger. (جب وہ چھوٹے تھے تو وہ ہر ہفتے کے آخر میں ٹینس نہیں کھیلتے تھے۔)
  • We didn’t visit our grandparents over the summer. (ہم گرمیوں میں اپنے دادا دادی سے نہیں ملتے تھے۔)

Past Indefinite Interrogative Tense.

To form the interrogative or question form of the Past Indefinite tense, also known as Simple Past tense, we use the auxiliary verb “did” before the subject, and the base form of the main verb.

Subject+ Did + Not + Verb (Base Form) + Object
I didn’t walk to the store yesterday

Here are some examples of interrogative sentences in the Past Indefinite tense:

  1. Did I walk to the store yesterday? (کیا میں کل دکان پر گیا تھا؟)
  2. Did she sing a song at the concert last night? (کیا اس نے کل رات کنسرٹ میں کوئی گانا گایا تھا؟)
  3. Did he study for the test? (کیا اس نے امتحان کے لیے مطالعہ کیا؟)
  4. Did they play tennis every weekend when they were younger? (جب وہ چھوٹے تھے تو کیا وہ ہر ہفتے کے آخر میں ٹینس کھیلتے تھے؟)
  5. Did we visit our grandparents over the summer? (کیا ہم گرمیوں میں اپنے دادا دادی سے ملنے گئے؟)

Note:- In each of these examples, “did” is used to create the question form of the Past Indefinite tense, and it is placed before the subject. Note:- that in the question form, the main verb remains in the base form. Additionally, we can use question words like “what,” “where,” “when,” “why,” and “how” to ask more specific questions about the past event. For example: “What did you do yesterday?” or “How (کیسے) did you get to the party last night?”
