Simple Past
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:

Take a look at these interrogative sentences:

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)

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.
