Grammar
Did go/went, did talk/talked. Question about Past Simple
Good afternoon, dear teachers. I have a question for you.
Speaking with some English speaker or watching some video, I can hear such sentences:
I did go to the school yesterday.
We did tell you a story.
The sentences are not important, the main thing is that I have such a construction - "S + did + V". Are these sentences correct? By the rule, I know that in Past Simple such a construction is used - "S + Ved / V2".
