English Simple Past Tense Irregular Verbs Se usa el simple past tense (el pasado simple) para indicar una situación o acción que empezó y terminó en el pasado. En inglés el simple past tense comprende el imperfecto y el indefinido, por lo tanto, hay que traducir según el sentido de la frase.

Los verbos del simple past tense se dividen en regulares e irregulares.

Forma Regular Como norma general, para formar el pasado en inglés, se añade ed a un verbo. work (trabajar) I worked we worked you worked you worked he worked they worked she worked

Ben worked in a hotel last year.

Si el verbo ya termina en e, sólo se añade la d. live (vivir) – lived Los verbos monosílabos que terminan en consonante duplican la consonante final. rub (frotar) – rubbed Los verbos bisílabos que terminan en consonante, con acento en la última sílaba, duplican la consonante final. prefer (preferir) - preferred Los verbos que terminan en y detrás de una consonante cambian la y por i al añadir la ed. cry (llorar) - cried Forma Irregular Muchos verbos tienen formas irregulares en el pasado. Forman el pasado de forma distinta. go (ir) I went we went you went you went he went they went she went
