Simple Past

El tiempo Pasado Simple se usa para hablar de acciones terminadas en el pasado. Como hacen referencia a acciones que ya ocurrieron, siempre deben ir en un contexto pasado, ya sea porque se está contando una historia que ya pasó, o bien usando complementos de tiempo pasado, como:

yesterday	ayer
last night	anoche
last week	la semana pasada
last month	el mes pasado
last year	el año pasado
in 1970	en 1970

Comenzaremos con la conjugación del verbo to be. Para la primera y tercera persona es was, para todas las demás es were.

Lee e intenta recordar la conjugación del verbo to be en pasado.

TO BE
I	was
You	were
He	was
She	was
It	was
We	were
You	were
They	were

I was in London last year.Estuve en Londres el año pasado.

Sarah and Tom were in London last year.Sarah y Tom estuvieron en Londres el año pasado.

El verbo to have en pasado es had. Es igual para todas las personas.

I had breakfast at 8 o'clock.Tomé el desayuno a las 8 en punto.

Para usar otros verbos en este tiempo, se usa la forma del verbo en pasado simple, que es igual para todas las personas. La formación del pasado simple depende si el verbo es regular o irregular.

Verbos regulares
En el caso de los verbos regulares, el pasado simple se forma tomando el propio verbo y agregando "ed", o "d" si termina en vocal. Si termina en "y", se cambia por "ied".

We played tennis for two hours.Jugamos tenis por dos horas.

She arrived late.Llegó tarde.

You studied a lot.Estudiaste mucho.

Verbos irregularesLos verbos irregulares tienen su propia forma del pasado simple y la única manera de aprenderlos es memorizarlos. Normalmente son los que aparecen en la segunda columna de los listados de verbos irregulares en los diccionarios de inglés.

Por ejemplo el pasado del verbo to go (ir) es "went". El pasado de to see (ver) es "saw". Siempre es igual para todas las personas.

We went to London in 1994.Fuimos a Londres es 1994.

We saw the double-decker buses.Vimos los autobuses de dos pisos.

Simple Past

La forma interrogativa se compone del auxiliar DID seguido de la persona y el verbo en infinitivo. El auxiliar es igual para todas las personas.

Did	I	go ?
Did	You	go ?
Did	He	go ?
Did	She	go ?
Did	It	go ?
Did	We	go ?
Did	You	go ?

Para realizar una pregunta se usa la "question word" adelante.

When did you go to London?¿Cúando fuiste a Londres? 

La forma negativa se compone de la persona, seguido del auxiliar DID, seguido de NOT y el verbo en infinitivo. En lenguaje informal, puede usarse la forma contracta didn't.
