Pasado Simple

El Pasado Simple es un tiempo verbal que se utiliza para describir

acciones que han sucedido en un tiempo anterior y que ya han
finalizado, por ejemplo:

AFIRMATIVA:

He cleaned his house.... Él limpió su casa.

I broke the window..... Yo rompí la ventana.

NEGATIVA:

Se utiliza como auxiliar DID + NOT, que es la forma pasada del

verbo “TO DO” y acompaña al verbo principal en su forma infinitiva.
En las negaciones puede utilizarse la forma contraída de DID NOT
o DIDN’T.

He didn't clean her house....Él no limpió su casa.

I ______________ the window....Yo no rompí la ventana.

INTERROGATIVA:

Utilizo el auxiliar DID (igual que en el presente simple uso el DO) y

el verbo principal (la acción) estará escrito en infinitivo.

Did he clean his house?....Limpió él su casa?

(cuidado con la estructura: AUX. EN PASADO + SUJ. +VERBO EN

INFINITIVO)

________________________ the window?........¿Rompí yo la ventana?

También es posible indicar el momento en que se desarrolla la
acción para indicar el tiempo con mayor precisión:

Ejemplos:

They saw the movie last night. Ellos vieron la película anoche.
We went to London yesterday. Nosotros fuimos a Londres ayer.

(saw es el pasado de see / went es el pasado de go= ambos son

verbos irregulares)

Para poder formar una oración en tiempo pasado debemos

distinguir dos tipos de verbos:

1. VERBOS REGULARES: forman su Pasado Simple añadiendo la

terminación -ED al infinitivo.

2. VERBOS IRREGULARES: no siguen una regla concreta para

construir el pasado y en este caso deben estudiarse
individualmente, de memoria.
