On the whiteboard I wrote the following questions:
1) What song did Robbie Williams sing* with Nicole Kidman in 2002?
2) Who sang I can't get you out of my head?
sing is an irregular verb sing-sang-sung
Both questions are in past simple but in the first one there is the auxiliary did while in the second one there is no auxiliary verb. Why?
Let's see together
To make
questions in the present and in the past simple, we normally use the auxiliary
(do/does/did) + infinitive without to
(base form).
