Aprenda agora todos os segredos do Simple Past. No final desta postagem você encontrará duas listas de verbos – uma de regulares e outra de irregulares. Não se assuste com o tamanho delas – te aconselho a ler, escrever suas frases, e claro, aprender de uma forma bem natural. Qualquer dúvida estou a sua disposição.

Simple Past – auxiliary DID

It is used to describe an action that finished in the past.

DID – I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they

Os verbos regulares terminam com ED

Regular verbs – finished by ED – work – worked / play – played

Irregular verbs – have a different form – speak – spoke / begin – began

We use the main verb in the past only in affirmative and long sentences!

REGULAR VERBS – remember (ED)

Take a look at these affirmative sentences:

Pete worked last Friday.

Sharon traveled to Italy in March.

Karen accepted a new job opportunity.

Take a look at these negative sentences:

Peter didn’t study today.

Take a look at these interrogative sentences:

Did you finish your homework?

IRREGULAR VERBS

Os verbos irregulares possuem formas bem diferentes, portanto, preste atenção na conjugação dos mesmos. O importante é ler, entender e usar o tempo todo os verbos tanto regulares quanto irregulares.

Take a look at these affirmative sentences:

Sorry, I forgot your name.

I sent an email in the morning to my boss.

drive – past (drove) – forget – past (forgot) – send – past (sent)

I didn’t understand that exercise.

Take a look at these interrogative sentences:

Exercises:

1 – Did your brother arrive at home?

Neg: He didn’t arrive at home.

2 – Did you buy a new car last year?

Neg:I didn’t buy a new car last year.

3 – Did you drink juice today?

É importante lembrar que cada tempo verbal tem o seu verbo auxiliar correspondente. O Simple Present usa-se DO ou DOES. Eles mandam o verbo para o presente. Como vimos agora, o DID manda o verbo para o passado.
