Did, didn't : poser des questions et dire non au prétérit

Fiche à imprimer : le cours, les trois exercices et le corrigé (sur une page à part). Revenir au cours en ligne

Au prétérit, l'affirmative n'a pas d'auxiliaire : I played / I went. Mais pour les questions et la négation, on utilise did, et le verbe reprend sa forme de base.

FormeConstructionExemple
affirmativesujet + verbe au prétéritShe went to London.
négativesujet + didn't + base verbaleShe didn't go to London.
questionDid + sujet + base verbale ?Did she go to London?
avec un mot interrogatifWh- + did + sujet + base ?Where did she go?

L'erreur à éviter

Le prétérit est déjà dans did : on ne le répète pas. On dit Did you see et non Did you saw ; I didn't go et non I didn't went.

Les réponses courtes

Did you like the film? — Yes, I did. / No, I didn't.
Tu as aimé le film ? — Oui. / Non.

Exception : le verbe be n'utilise pas did : Were you tired? (pas Did you be).

Mise en situation : le lundi matin

Ava : Did you have a good weekend?
Tu as passé un bon week-end ?
Leo : Yes, I did! I went to the beach. Did you go out?
Oui ! Je suis allé à la plage. Et toi, tu es sortie ?
Ava : No, I didn't. I stayed at home. What did you do at the beach?
Non. Je suis restée à la maison. Qu'est-ce que tu as fait à la plage ?
Leo : I swam and played volleyball. But I didn't take sun cream, so I got sunburnt!
J'ai nagé et joué au volley. Mais je n'ai pas pris de crème solaire, alors j'ai attrapé un coup de soleil !

À retenir

  • Question : Did + sujet + base verbale ? (Did you go?)
  • Négation : didn't + base verbale (I didn't go).
  • Jamais Did you saw / I didn't went.
  • Yes, I did. / No, I didn't. ; be : Were you...?
