past simple negative (range)

In the English Grammar Profile, B2 point 63 in the category of PAST is defined as:

past simple NEGATIVE

wide range of regular and irregular verbs.

This point is very much about vocabulary and so probably doubles up on using the English vocabulary profile.  How do we divide the range up better than looking for B1 and above verbs?
