PAST SIMPLE - REGULAR VERBS
Para formar el pasado simple de los verbos regulares se añade la terminación -ED a la raíz del verbo correspondiente.
walk—- walked look—–looked listen—listened explain——explained
A) Según sea la terminación del verbo, a veces es necesario hacer algunos cambios:
1) Si el verbo termina en -y precedida de una consonante, se cambia la -y por -i y se añade la terminación -ED
hurry—— hurried study—–studied reply—- replied
2) Si el verbo termina en -e, sólo se añade la -D
arrive——arrived close—–closed
3) Algunos de los verbos regulares forman el pasado duplicando la consonante final y añadiendo -ED cuando su última sílaba está formada por una vocal seguida de una consonante y sobre ella recae el énfasis al pronunciarla.
stop—–stopped travel——travelled unwrap——
El pasado simple es igual para todas las personas (es muy fácil)
I worked you walked he listened they talked
La forma negativa del Past Simple:
Sujeto + did not/didn’t + verbo
Example: I didn’t work he didn’t walk he didn’t listen
La forma interrogativa del Past Simple:
Did + sujeto + verbo
Did you see my father? Did he paint the table? Did she wash her hands?
Usamos los pronombres interrogativos para hacer preguntas.
What did you do yesterday? Who did you see last night?
Where did you go last weekend? When did you visit Madrid?
How did you go to the cinema? Why did he fail the exam?
