Let's solve these sentences by putting the verbs in brackets into the Past Simple tense:

1. Agatha Christie wrote over thirty novels.

   Here, "write" becomes "wrote," which is the past simple form.

2. I lost my wallet on the bus.

   "Lose" in the past simple is "lost."

3. Miss Marple caught many criminals.

   The verb "catch" turns into "caught" in the past simple.

4. We did not watch TV last night.

   "Do not watch" becomes "did not watch" in the past simple.

5. When I was ten, my family left the countryside.

   "Be" becomes "was" and "leave" becomes "left" in the past simple.

6. It was Sunday yesterday. I did not go to school.

   "Be" turns into "was" and "do not go" turns into "did not go."

7. Mary did not send an e-mail to her friend an hour ago.

   "Does not send" changes to "did not send" in the past simple.

8. Did you feel that gust of wind?

   "Do you feel" changes to "Did you feel."

9. When did you come back from Italy?

   "Do you come" changes to "did you come."

10. Brian won the competition? - No, he did not.

"Win" becomes "won," and for the negative response, "did not" is used.

In these examples, the verbs are changed to their past simple forms, either as regular verbs (like "watched") or irregular verbs (like "wrote"). The auxiliary verb "did" is used in negative and question forms.
