UNIDAD 1: GREAT PEOPLE AND TALES (TO BE PAST, REGULAR AND IRREGULAR VERBS,
SIMPLE PAST- PAST PROGRESSIVE- WH QUESTIONS)

a) SIMPLE PAST
Tenga presente que en inglés existen los verbos regulares e irregulares. Los regulares son aquellos
que su pasado se forma simplemente agregando ED a su infinitivo, ejemplo: Like - liked, work -
worked, listen - listened, y los irregulares son aquellos que no siguen ninguna regla, por lo tanto
deben ser aprendidos de memoria.
Recuerde las estructuras para hacer oraciones en pasado:

Con el verbo TO BE (se o estar)

Afirmativa: Sujeto + was / were + complemento

I was a very good student

Negativa: sujeto + wasn´t / weren´t + complement

I wasn´t unfriendly

Preguntas: Was / were + sujeto + + complemento?

Were you a good student?
Yes, I was.
No, I wasn´t.

Si la pregunta es de información, no olvide utilizar las Wh*.

Con verbos diferentes al To Be:

Afirmativa: Sujeto + verbo en pasado + complemento

I danced on christmas.

Negativa: sujeto + didn´t + verbo en presente + complemento

I didn´t dance on Christmas.
Preguntas:
Yes / NO: Did + sujeto + verbo en presente + complemento?
Did you dance on Christmas?
Yes, I did.
No, I didn´t.

Information: Wh* + did + sujeto + verbo?

Where did you study?

I studied in Tunja.

Al final del instructivo encontrará una tabla con los principales verbos irregulares en inglés.

c) PAST SIMPLE VS PAST PROGRESSIVE

1. Past simple

El "past simple" describe una acción pasada ya finalizada.

2. past continuous or past progressive

Indica que una acción se estaba desarrollando en cierto momento del pasado al cual se

hace referencia. No dice si la acción ya finalizó o todavía continuaba.

• When the mother came home her husband was playing with the kids (cuando la madre llegó a
casa su marido estaba jugando con los niños).

A veces se describen dos acciones simultáneas que tuvieron lugar en el pasado. En dicho caso,

se utiliza el "past simple" para describir aquella que finalizó y el "past
continuous"para aquella otra que estaba ocurriendo cuando la primera tuvo lugar.

• Yesterday evening when you called me I was having a shower (ayer en la noche cuando me
llamaste, me estaba bañando)
• When the parents arrived home the children were watching TV (cuando los padres llegaron a
casa, los niños estaban mirando Tv).
