b) El verb To be que son : am, is, are.

Negative: Subject + auxiliary: DIND'T + main verb in simple PRESENT + complement
Example: She dind't play soccer yesterday.
Interrogative: Auxiliary: DID + subject + main verb in simple PRESENT+complement+?

* Como lo habrás notado, cuando el auxiliar DID se encuentra en una oración, el "main verb" va en su forma simple, es decir en tiempo presente y si es tercera persona el sujeto tampoco va el verbo con "s" o "es" al final.
