Default Presenting the past simple auxiliary to students
Hi,

My students have a problem with the formation of the past simple auxiliary.( I think its to do with their mother tongue)

E.g. I didn't knew the answer
I didn't had my lunch.

I have presented ( Text based presentations, personal experience etc.) and practised the structure( Gap fills, substitution tables) many times with them , but they still make mistakes.
Is there any way I can help them correct their mistakes and practice the structure further?
I'd appreciate any help .

Arun
