EN EL PASADO TENEMOS DOS TIPOS DE VERBOS:
o
REGULARES: para formar el pasado le agregamos “ed” EJ: WORKWORKED
o
IRREGULARES: no se agrega “ed” el verbo cambia. EJ: BUY – BOUGHT
PARA NEGAR, USAMOS EL AUXILIAR DID NOT ( DIDN’T) DESPUES DEL
SUJETO
o
El verbo regresa a su forma base ( INFINITIVA)
o
Ex: I didn’t work
PARA FORMULAR UNA PREGUNTA, AGREGAMOS AL PRINCIPIO, EL
AUXILIAR: DID
o
El verbo regresa a su forma base
o
Ex: Did you work? ( el verbo no tiene “ed”)
Para formar el pasado de los verbos regulares.
En el pasado simple tienes que agregar –(e)d después de los verbos regulares
Pero ten cuidado!!
 Si un verbo regular termina en –e solo agregamos –d.
move  moved
 Y cambia a –i en el final en caso de haber una consonante detras.
try  tried
 La consonante se duplica al final del verbo regular , en el caso que la palabra sea
de una sola silaba y la consonante este precedida por una sola vocal.
stop  stopped
 La consonante ‘l’ se duplica si esta al final del verbo regular
travel  travelled
