Esta es, tal vez, la forma más común de hacer uso del tiempo pasado en inglés. Veamos cómo funciona y cómo
se debe emplear al momento de querer expresar algo ya sucedió en el pasado.
Conjugación de verbos
Para conjugar una oración en este tiempo verbal, es necesario hacer uso de los verbos regulares e irregulares.
Usualmente reconocemos un verbo en tiempo pasado simple, por llevar la terminación "-ed", como por
ejemplo:
Promise - Promised
Announce - Announced
Crash - Crashed
Punish - Punished
Accept - Accepted
Avoid - Avoided
Sneeze - Sneezed
Cry - Cried
Miss – Missed
Estos verbos son regulares y poseen ciertas reglas que les permiten conjugarse en este tiempo verbal..
Por otra parte, existe otra clase de verbos que por su propia naturaleza, poseen una forma pasada
predeterminada y no se forma con "-ed". A estos verbos se les conoce como irregulares, debido a que no siguen
ninguna regla y la única forma de reconocerlos es a través de su memorización.
Estructura
La estructura del tiempo pasado simple es bastante sencilla una vez formado el verbo principal, veamos:
¿Por qué sucede esto? Por regla general, las oraciones que se forman de manera negativa deben llevar consigo
el auxiliar do.
Como se está hablando de pasado simple, el verbo auxiliar debe ir en pasado, cambiando de do o does, a did.
El auxiliar did sufre el cambio de tiempo verbal, indicando que la acción que precede ha ocurrido en algún
momento del pasado. Por ende, dicha acción, representada en el verbo principal de la oración, no tiene
necesidad de conjugarse en pasado simple.
Para indicar que la oración es negativa, debemos acompañar el verbo auxiliar con el auxiliar negativo not, y
éstos deben ubicarse justo antes del verbo principal.
Veamos un ejemplo:
Aquí, el verbo auxiliar siempre debe iniciar la oración y, a diferencia de las formas anteriores, el verbo auxiliar
no antecede al verbo principal.
Ahora bien, por tratarse de oraciones interrogativas, es válido utilizar el auxiliar de forma afirmativa o negativa,
puesto que las preguntas pueden formularse de ambas maneras.
