Share a few details about a finished weekend and ask someone about theirs.

The idea

Ask What did you do last weekend? Answer with a past simple verb: I visited my friend or We went to a market. Say when with on Saturday or on Sunday. For a negative, use did not with the base verb: I did not work. Add a short opinion such as It was relaxing.

Examples

  • What did you do last weekend?
  • I visited my friend on Saturday.
  • We went to a small market.
  • I did not work on Sunday.
  • The weather was sunny.
  • It was a relaxing weekend.

Watch out

After did or did not, use the base form: Did you go? and I did not go, not did went. An affirmative statement uses the past form went.
