*Common past tense errors during conversations* *She didn’t came to office today.* *She didn’t come to office today.* *Explanation*: After *"did"*, use the **base form* of the verb, not the past form. "Come" is the base; "came" is incorrect here. ❌ *We didn’t watched the movie.* *We didn’t watch the movie.* *Explanation*: "Watched" is the past form, but after "didn't," we must use *watch*, the base form. ❌ *He didn’t told me anything.* *He didn’t tell me anything.* *Explanation*: "Told" is past tense. Since "didn't" already indicates past, the verb should remain in its *base form*—"tell." ❌ *I was went to the market?* *I went to the market.* **Explanation**: "Was" is a helping verb for continuous tense. You cannot use it with a **past verb** like "went." Either say "I went" or "I was going." ❌ *They was playing cricket.* *They were playing cricket.* *Explanation*: Use *"were"* with *plural subjects* like “they.” “Was” is only for singular subjects (I/he/she/it). ❌ *He did a mistake.* *He made a mistake.* *Explanation*: In English, the correct collocation is *“make a mistake,”* not “do a mistake.” ❌ *Did you went to Delhi last week?* *Did you go to Delhi last week?* *Explanation*: “Did” already puts the sentence in past tense, so use the *base form “go”*, not "went." ❌ **I didn’t took your book. *I didn’t take your book.* *Explanation* After *“didn’t,”* the verb must be in its *base form* “take,” not “took.” ❌ *She did not ate anything.* *She did not eat anything.* *Explanation*: "Eat" is the base form; "ate" is incorrect after *“did not."* ❌ *I was slept early yesterday.* *I slept early yesterday.* *Explanation*: “Was” cannot be used with the *past tense verb “slept.”* Just use the simple past: “I slept.”
