Negative verbs in the Simple Past Tense (Verbes au Négatif au Simple Past Tense)
Review: negative verbs in the simple present
I eat -> I don't eat
You dance -> You don't dance
She speaks Russian -> She doesn't speak Russian
Alors, voici ce que vous faites au négatif:
Sujet + verbe auxilliare + "not" + verbe principal, toujours à l'infinitif
Le verbe "do" au simple past tense devient "did", et c'est conjugué la même pour tous les sujets:
I did
You did
He/She did
We did
They did
Puis, on ajoute le "not" et le verbe principal
I did not eat
You did not eat
He/She did not eat
We did not eat
They did not eat
Exception: to be
I wasn't
You weren't
He/She wasn't
We weren't
They weren't

Le verbe "to miss," et ses différences entre l'anglais et le français
Conjugaison:
miss, misses, missing, missed, missed
Deux emplois:
J'ai manqué le bus - I missed the bus
Nous avons manqué le film - We missed the movie
Mais:
Tu me manques - I miss you
Est-ce que ton père te manque? - Do you miss your dad?
Remarquez que dans le premier emploi, c'est la même entre le français et l'anglais, mais dans l'autre, c'est le contraire. Le sujet de la phrase en français devient l'objet de la phrase en anglais, et puis l'objet de la phrase en français devient le sujet de la phrase en anglais.

Things to remember before moving to a foreign country
The basic idea of today's lesson is to remind you of some things to learn before moving to a different
country. Nobody can give you a full list of everything, but if you pay close attention to what you use on a
daily or a regular basis, you can make sure that you know what to get when you move. It's one thing to
know “I need an alarm clock,” but it's a completely different thing to know where to get that and what
it's called.
Also, a quick pronunciation tip: “used” pronounced “uZeD” is the past tense of “to use.” However,
pronounced “uSeT”, it is a form of the imperfect in English (“I used to play with my friends everyday
when I was young).
