1. PAST SIMPLE

TO BE

REGULAR VERBS: AFFIRMATIVE

El pasado simple de los verbos regulares se forma así para la forma afirmativa:

  • Añadimos -ed a la forma base del verbo. Se usa la misma forma para todas las personas.
SUJETO + VERB + -ED.
    • I played football yesterday. We washed the dishes after lunch.
    • He arrived at school late last Monday.
  • ¡¡¡¡Ojo a la ortografía!!!!!

IRREGULAR VERBS: AFFIRMATIVE

Algunos verbos son irregulares, es decir, no forman el pasado siguiendo la regla general (añadir -ed). A veces son muy diferentes a su infinitivo (go-went). No hay reglas para formar el pasado simple de los verbos irregulares, por eso hay que aprendérselos de memoria. Si miras a tu lista de verbos irregulares, el pasado simple es el que aparece en la segunda columna. Al igual que pasa con los verbos regulares, se usa la misma forma para todas las personas:I broke the window. She wrote a beautiful poem. We left home early.

NEGATIVE

Para formar la negativa, usamos DID como verbo auxiliar y dejamos el verbo principal en su forma base (infinitivo). La estructura de la forma negativa es la misma para todos los verbos (excepto el verbo TO BE)SUJETO + DID + NOT + VERB.SUJETO + DIDN'T + VERB.I didn't play football yesterday. He didn't write to me yesterday.

QUESTIONS

Para formar la interrogativa, usamos DID como verbo auxiliar. Invertimos el orden y ponemos did delante del sujeto. Dejamos el verbo principal en su forma base (infinitivo). La estructura del pasado simple en interrogativa es igual para todos los verbos (excepto el verbo TO BE)

  • DID + SUBJECT + VERB.
    • Did you play football yesterday?
    • Did he arrive late at school last Monday?
    • Did we wash the dishes after lunch?

2. PAST CONTINUOUS

"El pasado continuo se forma con el pasado simple del verbo to be + verbo principal acabado en -ing."

"AFFIRMATIVE:I/he/she was reading a book. You/we/they were reading a book."

"NEGATIVE:I/he/she wasn't reading a book. You/we/they weren't reading a book."

"QUESTIONS":Was I/he/she reading a book?. Were you/we/they reading a book.?
