1. El PAST SIMPLE
Utilitzem el past simple per parlar de coses que van tenir lloc en el passat.
Forma afirmativa – verbs regulars
Els verbs regulars formen el passat afegint la terminació –ed a la forma bàsica del verb.
- I/You/He/She/It/We/You/They called.
Play – Played They played tennis yesterday.
Pass – Passed The passed all her exams.
Star – Started. The film started late.
- Els verbs que acaben en –e afegeixen només –d:
Dance – Danced They danced all night.
Arrive - Arrived He arrived late.
- Si el verb acaba en –y, aquesta vegada es converteix en –i devant de –ed:
Try – Tried My mother studied French.
Study - Studied The baby cried all night.
- Els verbs curts que acaben en conconant + vocal + consonant dupliquen la
consonant final abans d’afegir –ed:
Stop – Stopped The referee stopped the match.
Plan - Planned They robbed the bank.
Forma afirmativa – verbs irregulars
- Hi ha verbs que no afegeixen la terminación –ed per fer el passat, sinó que
utilitzen formes completamente direfents les unes de les altres i no es pot fer una
norma.
Eat – Ate I ate a lot.
Drive - Drove He drove fastly.
