That change can’t be made unless you convert the whole sentence from a question to a statement.
Answer: "Did you like the film?"

To change the sentence "Do you like the film?" to past simple, you would say "Did you like the film?".
To form the past simple tense in English, you generally add "-ed" to the base form of regular verbs. However, the verb "like" is irregular, so its past simple form is "liked" instead of "likeded".
Here's the breakdown:
- The base form of the verb "like" is "like".
- To change it to past simple, we add "-ed" to the end, resulting in "liked".
- Therefore, the past simple form of "like" is "liked".
So, the past simple sentence would be "Did you like the film?"
