--description--

You cannot use didn't with some verbs to make negatives in the past. One example is the verb to be.

If you want to create a negative sentence using the verb to be in the past, simply add not after was or were. For example:

AffirmativeNegative
It was working normally.It wasn't working normally.
They were informed earlier.They weren't informed earlier.

Wasn't is the contraction of was not and weren't the contraction of were not.
