2. EL PASADO SIMPLE (Simple Past)
El pasado simple se utiliza para referir acciones o situaciones del pasado. El pasado
simple funciona de manera similar al Presente simple, salvo que empleamos el
auxiliar 'did' para todas las personas (incluida la tercera persona singular
'he/she/it').
AUXILIAR “DID”
Para emplear este auxiliar de manera interrogativa primero colocamos el
auxiliar (did) y liego el sujeto (I,you,he,she,it,we,they) . Su forma
interrogante puede ser tanto afirmativa como negativa. ejemplo:
INTERROGATIVA
• Did Sandra drink apple juice?
•Did they go to the park?
•Did Robert buy a car ?
INTERROGATIVA-NEGATIVA
• didn’t Sandra drink apple juice?
• didn’t they go to the park?
• didn’t Robert buy a car?
3. Al momento de responder , se debe tomar en cuenta si el verbo es regular o
irregular, si es regular se debe seguir un conjunto de reglas para agregar “ed” al
final del verbo . Sin embargo esto solo se aplica si la respuesta es afirmativa, si es
negativa el verbo permanece de manera simple .
