3. There are many ways to speak of the past in
English, but the simple past is the most common
form. The simple past in English is equivalent to
the preterite imperfect and preterite indefinite of
Spanish. We use the simple past for complete
actions in the past. The time period of these
actions is not as important as in Spanish. In the
simple past there are regular verbs and irregular
verbs.
Simple Past

5. Form
To form the simple past with regular verbs, we use the infinitive and add
the ending "-ed". The form is the same for all people (I, you, he, she, it,
we, they).
For verbs that end in an "e", we just add "-d".
Examples:
change → changed
believe → believed
If the verb ends in a short vowel and
a consonant (except "y" or "w"), we
double the final consonant.
Examples:
stop → stopped
commit → committed
With verbs ending in a consonant and
an "y", change the "y" to an "i".
Examples:
study → studied
try → tried
Examples:
want → wanted
learn → learned
stay → stayed
walk → walked
show → showed
Exceptions

6. Pronunciation
We say the ending "-ed" differently depending on the letter that goes to
the end of the infinitive. In general the "e" is mute.
With infinitives ending in "p",
"f", "k" or "s" (deaf consonants,
except "t") we pronounce the
ending "-ed" as a "t".
Examples:
looked [lukt]
kissed [kisst]
With infinitives ending in "b", "g", "l", "m", "n", "v", "z"
(sound consonants, except "d") or a vowel, we
pronounce only the D".
Examples:
yelled [jeld]
cleaned [klind]
With the infinitives ending in "d" or "t",
we pronounce the "e" as an "i".
Examples:
ended [endid]
waited [weitid]

8. Affirmative Sentences
Subject + main verb…
With regular verb:
When the verb is regular, the affirmations are
constructed using the verb in infinitive and are
added the ending ed (or d if the infinitive ends
in e.)
Examples:
Leonardo da Vinci painted the Mona
Lisa. (Leonardo da Vinci pintó la Mona Lisa)
The teacher used a red pencil to correct the
exams. (La profesora usó un lápiz rojo para
corregir los exámenes)
With irregular verb:
When the verb is irregular, affirmations are
constructed using the verb in past.
Examples:
I went fishing last weekend. (Me fui a
pescar el fin de semana pasado.)
He bought a car. (Él compró un auto).

9. Negative Sentences
To be:
Subject + "to be" + "not" ...
Examples:
She wasn’t a doctor. (Ella no era
doctora.)
The keys weren’t in the drawer. (Las
llaves no estaban en el cajón.)
All other verbs:
Subject + auxiliary verb (to do) + "not" +
main verb (in infinitive) ...
Examples:
I didn’t want to dance. (No quería bailar.)
They didn’t learn English. (No aprendieron inglés)
We didn’t believe him. (No le creímos.)
I didn’t buy a blue car. (No compré un coche azul.)Note: The verb "to have got", which in
the present simple follows the same
rules as the verb "to be", can not be
used in the past. To indicate possession
in the past, we use the verb "to have".
Note: In negative sentences, the
auxiliary verb goes in the past
("did") and the main verb stays in
the infinitive.

10. Interrogative Sentences
To be:
"To be" + subject ...?
Examples:
Was she a doctor? (¿Era doctora?)
Were the keys in the drawer? (¿Estaban las
llaves en el cajón?)
All other verbs:
Auxiliary verb (to do) + subject +
main verb (in infinitive) ...?
Examples:
Did you want to dance? (¿Querías bailar?)
Did they learn English? (¿Aprendieron inglés?)
Did you believe him? (¿Le creíste?)
Did you buy a blue car? (¿Compraste un coche
azul?)
Note: As in negative sentences, the auxiliary
verb goes in the past ("did") and the main verb
stays in the infinitive.

12. 1) The simple past is used to speak of a concrete action that began and ended in the past. In
this case it is equivalent to the Spanish indefinite past tense. Generally, we use it with
adverbs of time like "last year", "yesterday", "last night" ...
Examples:
Tom stayed at home last night. (Tom se quedó en casa anoche.)
Kate worked last Saturday. (Kate trabajó el sábado pasado.)
I didn’t go to the party yesterday. (No fui a la fiesta ayer.)
Did they walk to school this morning? (¿Han andado a la escuela esta mañana?)
2) The simple past is used for a series of actions in the past.
Examples:
I received the good news and immediately called my husband. (Recibí la buena noticia y llamé de
inmediato a mi marido.)
He studied for an hour in the morning, worked all afternoon and didn’t returnhome until 10 at
night. (Estudió durante una hora por la mañana, trabajó toda la tarde y no regresó a casa hasta
las 10 de la noche.)

13. 3) We also use it for repeated or habitual actions in the past, as the imperfect Spanish tense is used.
Examples:
We always traveled to Cancun for vacation when we were young. (Siempre viajábamos a Cancun
durante las vacaciones cuando éramos jóvenes.)
He walked 5 kilometers every day to work. (Caminaba 5 kilómetros hasta el trabajo cada día.)
4) We use it for narrations or actions of periods of long time in the past, like the imperfect tense
Spanish.
Examples:
I worked for many years in a museum. (Trabajaba en un museo durante muchos años.)
She didn’t eat meat for years. (No comía carne durante años.)
5) It is used to speak of generalities or facts of the past.
Examples:
The Aztec lived in Mexico. (Los aztecas vivían en México)
I played the guitar when I was a child. (Tocaba la guitarra cuando era niño.)
