SIMPLE PAST TENSE

 The Past Simple Tense

Es similar al presente simple porque tiene diferentes reglas para el verbo 'be', que se convierte en 'was' o 'were': El Pasado Simple con 'be'

Positivo:

·         I was cold

·         You were tired

·         He was in the garden

·         She was late

·         It was sunny

·         We were on holiday

·         They were hungry

Para hacer lo negativo con 'ser', solo agrega 'not'

Negative with 'be'	Negative Short Form
I was not sleepy	I wasn't sleepy
You were not on the bus	You weren't on the bus
He was not at school	He wasn't at school
She was not beautiful	She wasn't beautiful
It was not cold	It wasn't cold
We were not at work	We weren't at work
They were not tired	They weren't tired

Para hacer una pregunta, al igual que el presente simple, cambiamos la posición de 'was/were' y el sujeto.

Aquí están las preguntas de pasado simple 'sí / no' con 'be':

·         Was I sleepy?

·         Were you late?

·         Was he at the cinema?

·         Was she kind?

·         Was it hot?

·         Were we hungry?

·         Were they at work?

Y las preguntas 'wh' con 'be' (la palabra interrogativa solo va al principio, todo lo demás es igual):

·         Why was I sleepy?

·         Where were you?

·         When was he at the cinema?

·         How was she?

·         How was it?

·         Why were we hungry?

·         When were they at work?

The Past Simple (Simple Past) with Other Verbs

Hacemos el pasado simple al igual que el presente simple, excepto que usamos 'did' en lugar de 'do / does'. Es realmente fácil porque 'did' no cambia, incluso con 'he/she/it'.

Lo positivo

Usualmente hacemos el positivo agregando '-ed' al infinitivo. Por ejemplo, 'play' se convierte en 'played'. Sin embargo, hay algunos verbos irregulares, por ejemplo, 'go' se convierte en 'went' y 'run' se convierte en 'ran'.

·         I walked (regular)

·         You played (regular)

·         He cooked (regular)

·         She listened (regular)

·         It rained (regular)

·         We ate (irregular)

·         They drank (irregular)

Lo negativo

En negativao no hay verbos irregulares. Todos los verbos usan 'no (no) + infinitivo':

All verbs use 'did not (didn't) + infinitive'

Negative	Negative Short Form
I did not walk	I didn't walk
You did not play	You didn't play
He did not cook	He didn't cook
She did not listen	She didn't listen
It did not rain	It didn't rain
We did not eat	We didn't eat
They did not drink	They didn't drink

Preguntas

Las preguntas también son muy fáciles. Solo pon 'did' antes del sujeto y el infinitivo después. Aquí están las preguntas de 'sí / no':

·         Did I walk?

·         Did you play?

·         Did he cook?

·         Did she listen?

·         Did it rain?

·         Did we eat?

·         Did they drink?

Para hacer una pregunta 'wh', por supuesto, coloque la palabra interrogativa al comienzo de la oración.

·         Where did I go?

·         What did you play?

·         What did he cook?

·         Why did she listen?

·         When did it rain?

·         Where did we eat?

·         How did they travel?
