PAST SIMPLE NEGATIVE FORMS AND QUESTIONS

Negatives in the simple past are formed by adding didn't (informal) or did not (formal) before the simple form of the verb. The verb BE is an exception to this; in the case of BE, we just add n't (informal) or not (formal) after "was" or "were"

for example

Simple past statement	Informal negative	Formal negative
I had a car.	I didn't have a car.	I did not have a car.
You ate my toast.	You didn't eat my toast.	You did not eat my toast.
He was here yesterday.	He wasn't here yesterday.	He was not here yesterday.
They were in the park.	They weren't in the park.	They were not in the park.
