            3. Other verbs

              Annotations:

              • En el caso de otros verbos, SIEMPRE se pone una sola forma del verbo en pasado, tanto para verbos REGULARES, como para IRREGULARES. NO IMPORTA de quién se esté hablando, ya sean personas, objetos, animales, etc. tampoco importa si es plural o singular. Desafortunadamente no hay manera perfecta de reconocer cuando un verbo es Regular o cuando es Irregular sólo con ver el verbo en Presente. Por lo tanto hay que auxiliarnos de diccionarios y listas de verbos para ver exactamente como se escribe cada verbo en pasado. Ejemplos: I studied English yesterday. You studied English yesterday. He studied English yesterday. She studied English yesterday. We studied English yesterday. They studied English yesterday. Maria studied English yesterday. Mark and my brother studied English yesterday. Nótese que la palabra "studied", la cual es el pasado de "study" se encuentra en los diccionarios o en las listas de verbos, y se pone asi tal cual para todos los casos.
              1. Regular

                Annotations:

                • Los verbos llamados regulares solo se les agrega por lo general "ed" al final del verbo en su forma base (presente). Ejemplo: Play (forma base). Played (pasado). Con la forma en pasado se puede usar para cualquier persona. (I, you, he, she, it, we, they). I played soccer yesterday. You played soccer yesterday. He played soccer yesterday. She played soccer yesterday. We played soccer yesterday. They played soccer yesterday.
                1. My brothers played soccer last month.

                  Annotations:

                  • Mis hermanos jugaron soccer el mes pasado.
                  1. I studied Math in my house last night.

                    Annotations:

                    • Yo estudie matemáticas en mi casa anoche.
                    1. Martha called me this morning.

                      Annotations:

                      • Martha me llamó esta mañana.
                2. Irregular

                  Annotations:

                  • Los verbos irregulares NO se les agrega "ed" al final del verbo, sino que cambian de diferente manera, por lo general se dice que se deben MEMORIZAR, ya que no hay reglas tan claras para cambiar el verbo a su forma en pasado.
