WHAT IS THE “SIMPLE
PAST”?
WHAT IS THE
“SIMPLE PAST”?
The “simple past” is the form of a verb used to describe an action that
happened before the present time and is no longer happening, the verb
that we use to describe the past, can be a regular or irregular verb.
We use the past simple to talk about past and finished action at a certain
moment or a period in the past:
A week/ a month/ a year ago
Last year/ month/ week
Example: You worked very hard last year.
We ate together last Saturday.
They talked on the phone last week.
I drove to work yesterday.
USES OF
THE SIMPLE
PAST
USES OF THE SIMPLE
PAST
We use the past simple to talk about definite time in
the past (often we specify when something happened,
e.g. yesterday, three weeks ago, last year, when I was
young):
Did you watch that film yesterday?
He left at the end of November.
When they were young, they hated meat.
TYPES
• VERBS
• AFIRMATIVE
SENTENCES
• NEGATIVE
SENTENCES
• INTERROGATIVE
SENTENCES
VERBS
Verbs are subdivided into two groups, regular
verbs and irregular verbs, on the basis of how their past tense
and past participles are formed. See below for tips on how to
distinguish between them.
REGULAR VERBS:
Most verbs are regular verbs. Regular verbs are those whose past
tense and past participles are formed by adding a -d or an -ed
to the end of the verb.
Example: Arrive – Arrived Fix – Fixed Request – Requested
IRREGULAR VERBS
There is no formula to predict how an irregular verb will form its
past-tense and past-participle forms. There are over 250
irregular verbs in English. Although they do not follow a formula,
AFIRMATIVE
SENTENCES:
The word "affirmative" simply means that you are stating
something is so, an affirmative statement is any sentence or
declaration that is positive. To make an affirmative/positive
sentence in simple past you need to follow the rule above:
SUBJECT + PAST VERB (REGULAR/IRREGULAR) + COMPLEMENT
Example: Nancy drove to New Orleans from Florida. (Drove –
Drive: irregular)
I painted my house last weekend. (Painted – Paint:
regular)
NEGATIVE
SENTENCES
A negative sentence is a sentence that states that something is
false. In English, we create negative sentences by adding the
word 'not' after the auxiliary, or helping, verb.
To make a negative sentence in simple past, you need to follow
the rules above:
Subject + did not + infinitive verb + complement
Example: She didn’t pass the exam.
He didn’t wash the car.
(didn’t – did not: auxiliary
verb)
INTERROGATIVE
SENTENCES
An interrogative sentence asks a direct question and is
punctuated at the end with a question mark. It is one of the four
basic types of sentences, and it's a highly useful one.
Interrogative sentences allow you to gather information and
clear up confusion as well as engage in interesting
conversations with others. To make interrogative sentences in
simple past you need to follow the rule above:
Did + subject + infinitive verb + complement + ?
Example: Did you go to the Mall?
Did you know about the new movies
on Netflix?

SIMPLE PAST - Instituto Universitario Politécnico Santiago Mariño

  • 1. SIMPLE PAST - PASADO SIMPLE BEATRIZ MENDES CI: 27.901.069 ARQUITECTURA, CÓD. 41 INGLÉS I, SECCIÓN 1ªA PROFESOR CESAR VELASQUEZ
  • 2. WHAT IS THE “SIMPLE PAST”?
  • 3. WHAT IS THE “SIMPLE PAST”? The “simple past” is the form of a verb used to describe an action that happened before the present time and is no longer happening, the verb that we use to describe the past, can be a regular or irregular verb. We use the past simple to talk about past and finished action at a certain moment or a period in the past: A week/ a month/ a year ago Last year/ month/ week Example: You worked very hard last year. We ate together last Saturday. They talked on the phone last week. I drove to work yesterday.
  • 5. USES OF THE SIMPLE PAST We use the past simple to talk about definite time in the past (often we specify when something happened, e.g. yesterday, three weeks ago, last year, when I was young): Did you watch that film yesterday? He left at the end of November. When they were young, they hated meat.
  • 6. TYPES • VERBS • AFIRMATIVE SENTENCES • NEGATIVE SENTENCES • INTERROGATIVE SENTENCES
  • 7. VERBS Verbs are subdivided into two groups, regular verbs and irregular verbs, on the basis of how their past tense and past participles are formed. See below for tips on how to distinguish between them. REGULAR VERBS: Most verbs are regular verbs. Regular verbs are those whose past tense and past participles are formed by adding a -d or an -ed to the end of the verb. Example: Arrive – Arrived Fix – Fixed Request – Requested IRREGULAR VERBS There is no formula to predict how an irregular verb will form its past-tense and past-participle forms. There are over 250 irregular verbs in English. Although they do not follow a formula,
  • 8. AFIRMATIVE SENTENCES: The word "affirmative" simply means that you are stating something is so, an affirmative statement is any sentence or declaration that is positive. To make an affirmative/positive sentence in simple past you need to follow the rule above: SUBJECT + PAST VERB (REGULAR/IRREGULAR) + COMPLEMENT Example: Nancy drove to New Orleans from Florida. (Drove – Drive: irregular) I painted my house last weekend. (Painted – Paint: regular)
  • 9. NEGATIVE SENTENCES A negative sentence is a sentence that states that something is false. In English, we create negative sentences by adding the word 'not' after the auxiliary, or helping, verb.
