Simple past of REGULAR
verbs
FORMA
AFFERMATIVA:
aggiungo -ED (o -D) alla forma base del verbo.
to work> worked
to live > lived
Ricorda che i verbi che terminano in -Y cambiano in -IED
to study > studied
FORMA NEGATIVA:
come al tempo presente, utilizziamo gli ausiliari. Nel caso
del Simple Past ne troveremo 1 solo, e lo utilizzeremo per
TUTTE le persone.
DID + NOT = DIDN’T
Gli usi sono gli stessi di do/does, stesse collocazioni
all’interno della frase.
FORMA INTERROGATIVA:
anche in questo caso, l’unica differenza che troviamo con il
presente è la parolina DID, che esprime il tempo passato,
per il resto utilizziamo le conoscenze che abbiamo del
presente.
Esempi:
I was born in 1984
She wasn’t at the party
Was he at the cinema? Yes he was/ No he wasn’t
I worked last year
You didn’t work last year*
Did he work last year?* Yes he did/ No he didn’t
* come per il presente, quando c’è l’ausiliare il verbo NON si
modifica, ma manteniamo la sua forma base.
Simple past of IRREGULAR
verbs
Molti verbi, in inglese, hanno la forma del passato
IRREGOLARE. Non segue quindi la regola dell’-ED.
Bisognerà quindi impararli, pian piano a memoria. Nota
positiva, ricordiamo che il passato è uguale per tutte le
persone! Per quanto riguarda la forma negativa e la
forma interrogativa restano valide le regole illustrate fino
ad ora.
