To ask questions using past tense verbs in Russian, you can follow these easy steps:

1. Yes/No Questions:

   • How to do it: Put the verb first, then the subject.
   • Example: "Ты пошёл?" (Did you go?)

2. Open-Ended Questions:

   • How to do it: Start with a question word, then the verb, and lastly the subject.
   • Example: "Куда ты пошёл?" (Where did you go?)

3. Tag Questions:

   • How to do it: Make a statement and add "не так ли?" (isn't it?) at the end.
   • Example: "Ты пошёл, не так ли?" (You went, didn't you?)

Try practicing these patterns. They will help you communicate better!
