THE SIMPLE PAST
TENSE
O simple past é
normalmente usado
para descrever
ações que
começaram
e terminaram no
passado.
A primeira coisa a
destacar é que os
verbos podem ser
regulares ou
irregulares.
VERBOS REGULARES
São aqueles cuja forma passada é
formada por regra.
Forma-se o passado
dos verbos regulares,
acrescentando-se
d, ed, ou ied.
Formação da
afirmativa dos
verbos regulares
1: Adicionar d aos verbos terminados em
e:
 live - lived
 love - loved
 agree - agreed
 tie - tied
2: Retirar o y e adicionar ied aos verbos
terminados em consoante + y
 study - studied
 cry - cried
3:Adicionar ed aos verbos terminados em
vogal + y
 play - played
 stay - stayed
4: Todos os outros verbos: adicionar ed
 work - worked
 kiss - kissed
NOTE:
 O verbo com ed se usa com todas as
pessoas (I,you, he, she, it, we, you, they)
e somente na forma afirmativa.

Forma negativa
Há coisas importantes na forma negativa do
passado:
 a) Você deverá usar didn’t para dizer não;
 b) O didn’t será usado para todas as
pessoas;
 c) O verbo principal volta para o normal(
infinitivo sem o to).

Então:
 usa-se a forma didn’t + verbo no
infinitivo sem o to, para todas
pessoas.

interrogativa do passado:
 a)Você deverá usar did antes de todas
as pessoas para que a pergunta fique
no passado;
 b)O verbo principal volta para o normal(
infinitivo sem o to).

Então:
 Usa-se Did + sujeito + verbo na forma
normal ( infinitivo sem o to), para
todas as pessoas.
