simple past
- Interrogation
- To construct the interrogation we use
the auxiliary verb to do in past (did).
The structure is: Did + [SUBJECT] +
[VERB IN INFINITIVE (without to)]?
- Example
- Did you go to the super market yesterday?
- Negative
- The formation of the negation in "past
simple" is simpler than the affirmation.
Its structure is: [SUBJECT] + did + not +
VERB IN INFINITIVE (without to)]
- Example
- Silvia didn´t cook the diner
- Affirmative
- The structure of the "simple past"
is: [SUBJECT] + [VERB IN PASS,
END "-ed"]
- Example
- Ivonne ate a big ice cream
- Regular Verbs
- For regular verbs the
simple past is formed by
adding 'ed' to the end of
the verb. This form is the
same for all personal
pronouns (I, you, he, etc).
- Example
- To cook- cooked
To work- worked
To live- lived
- Irregular Verbs
- The simple past of some verbs
does not end in -ed, but has an
irregular shape, which is the same
for all people.
- Example
- To have- had
To see- saw
To eat - ate
