Forma negativa: Tanto los verbos regulares como los irregulares utilizan la particula didn’t. ¡Atención al verbo que vuelve a su forma de infinitivo! I lived in Italy. / I didn’t live in Italy. He went to the swimming pool last Thursday. / He didn’t go to the swimming pool last Thursday. -
Forma interrogativa: se utiliza did para todos los verbos, de nuevo hay que utilizar el verbo en su forma de infinitivo. Did you visit London last summer ? Yes, I did / No, I didn’t. Did she get up at seven yesterday? Yes, she did / No, she didn’t.

No existe diferencia entre las personas, las terceras personas del singular ( he, she, it) se conjugan igual que el resto.
I listened to the radio yesterday evening. She listened to the radio yesterday evening. They had lunch at home. He had lunch at home. Verbos Regulares Los verbos regulares se caracterizan por añadir a la base del verbo ( infinitivo) la desinencia “-ed”. Existen unas reglas de ortografía para formar el pasado de los verbos regulares ya que no todos los verbos añaden “-ed” de la misma manera.
Reglas: 1. – La regla general es añadir –ed a la base del verbo (infinitivo). Work worked 2. – Cuando el verbo termina en –e, solo añadimos “ – d”. Like liked

3. – Si el verbo tiene una sola sílaba, una sola vocal y una sola consonante final, la consonante final se dobla. Stop stopped Si la consonante final es la “-y” o la “- w” no hay duplicación. Play played 4. – En la mayoría de verbos de dos sílabas, la consonante se dobla si el acento recae en la segunda sílaba. preferred Prefer 5.- Los verbos que terminan en consonante + “y” cambian la “–y” a “-i” y añaden –ed. Carry carried Pero si la “-y” está precedida de vocal no hay tal cambio y solo se añade “-ed” enjoy enjoyed
Uso del Pasado Simple ( Verbos regulares e irregulares) Se usa para: 1. – Expresar una acción terminada en el pasado, por eso tenemos una expresión temporal que lo indica.
We met in 1987 2. – Para expresar acciones que se suceden una detrás de otra en una historia.
Mary walked into the room and stopped. She listened carefully. She heard a noise coming from behind the curtain. 3. – Para expresar una situación o hábito ubicado en el pasado.
When I was a child we lived in a small house by the sea. We used to swim every day. “Used to + infinitivo” se usa para expresar hábitos del pasado.
Expresiones temporales Cuando contamos algo del pasado utilizamos expresiones temporales que localizan ese hecho en el pasado. Es importante reflejar cuando se realizó la acción. I did it ... last night (anoche) ... yesterday (ayer) ... two days ago ( hace dos días) ... in 1988 ( en ...) ... in summer / last summer... ( en verano / el pasado verano...) … when I was young ( cuando era joven) Past Simple Theory / Gemma
