Simple past
The simple past is a verb tense that indicates an
action that was performed at a specific moment in
the past.
The past simple usually has temporary expressions
that allude to the past, such as, yesterday, last
week, last month, last year, Tuesday…
Characteristics of the simple past
• The main verb of the sentence is always in past tense
• It is the only grammatical time that uses past tense verbs.
• Its grammatical structure is composed of:
subject + verb (past tense) + complement
•In the complement it is possible to use expressions that
determine the time, although the verb determines if the
sentence is in past tense or not
Affirmative sentences
The grammatical structure is:
Subject + verb (in past tense)+ complement
Examples:
•I studied yesterday
•She saw the stars last night
Negative sentences
The grammatical structure is:
Subject + didn't + main verb + complement
Examples:
•He didn't sell the car
•Daniela didn't dance with Carlos in the party
Regular sentences
Are sentences that have as main verb a regular verb.
In English they are called regular verbs to those who form
the past tense by adding the suffix 'ed' or 'd' to the root of
the verb.
The grammatical structure is:
Subject + regular verb (in past tense)+ complement
examples:
•Carlos studied math
•Juan travelled to New York
•Pedro walked in the park
•she played the piano
irregular sentences
Sentences that have as verbal nucleus an irregular verb.
Irregular verbs in English are those whose past tense and
past participle do not follow any rules.
The grammatical structure is:
Subject + irregular verb (in past tense)+ complement
•They sang a song
•He drove the car
•Marco ate bananas
Interrogative sentences
In interrogative sentences the auxiliary '' did '' is used
before the main verb followed by the subject and
complement.
The grammatical structure is:
Did+ main verb + subject+ complement?
Affirmative answer (short):
yes, subject + did
Affirmative answer (long):
Yes, affirmative sentence in simple past tense
Negative answer:
No, subject + didn’t
