Per questo motivo il past simple è spesso accompagnato da espressioni di tempo che si
riferiscono ad un momento passato.
Yesterday Ieri
Yesterday morning / afternoon / evening Ieri mattina, pomeriggio / sera
Last week La settimana scorsa
This morning Stamattina (se quando si parla è pomeriggio)
Watch out! La forma verbale del past simple è la stessa per tutte le persone (l’unica
eccezione è il past simple di be).
I verbi regolari formano il past simple aggiungendo -ed alla forma base del verbo.
watch → watched play → played
Variazioni ortografiche
I verbi irregolari, invece, hanno una forma particolare per il past simple. Un elenco dei
verbi irregolari più comuni si trova a pag. 62 della Illustrated grammar.
go → went see → saw get up → got up do → did
Watch out! La forma del past simple di read si scrive come la forma base ma si pronun-
cia in modo diverso: /r´d/.

La forma interrogativa del past simple si costruisce con l’ausiliare did (passato dell’au-
siliare do).
Did you have your guitar with you Avevi la chitarra con te questa mattina?
this morning?
Did you go to Paris last summer? Sei andato a Parigi la scorsa estate?
Se la frase inizia con who, what, where oppure how la costruzione non cambia:
Tuttavia, quando il soggetto della frase è un pronome interrogativo non si usa l’ausiliare
did e la costruzione è: pronome interrogativo + verbo al past simple

I didn’t sleep well last night. Non ho dormito bene la scorsa notte.
He didn’t close the door. Non ha chiuso la porta.
Watch out! Il verbo have si comporta come un comune verbo irregolare e non usa il
rafforzativo got nelle forme del past simple. La sua forma del past simple è had.
I had my pocket money last Saturday. Ho avuto la mia paghetta sabato scorso.
What time did you have breakfast? A che ora hai fatto colazione?
I didn’t have time to finish the work. Non ho avuto tempo di finire il lavoro.
