Simple Past and Question words

Look at this dialogue: Simple Past and question words.

Paul: What did you do yesterday? (¿Que hiciste ayer?)
Alice: I went to the cinema.
     P: What film did you see?
     A: I saw The king´s speech.
     P: Did you like it?
     A: Yes, I did. It was a very good film.
     P: What time did the film start?
     A: It started at 8:00 pm.And what did you do?
     P: Oh, I stayed at home.

Notice:

   Cuando hacemos la pregunta usamos did como
   verbo auxiliar y el verbo principal de la oración
   queda en infinitivo. En la respuesta desaparece
   el did y el verbo principal queda en pasado.
   No olvides consultar la lista de verbos irregulares
   hasta que puedas recordarlos. En las listas de
   verbos irregulares es la segunda columna.
