REGULAR VERBS

Here you can see the basic tenses with the regular verb work. It includes the affirmative or positive form (+), the negative form (-) and the interrogative or question form (?).

The structure for positive sentences in the past simple tense is:

subject	+	main verb
		past

The structure for negative sentences in the past simple tense is:

subject	+	auxiliary verb	+	not	+	main verb
		did				base

The structure for question sentences in the past simple tense is:

auxiliary verb	+	subject	+	main verb
did				base

The auxiliary verb did is not conjugated. It is the same for all persons (I did, you did, he did etc). And the base form and past form do not change. Look at these examples with the main verbs go andwork:

Exception! The verb to be is different. We conjugate the verb to be (I was, you were, he/she/it was, we were, they were); and we do not use an auxiliary for negative and question sentences. To make a question, we exchange the subject and verb. Look at these examples:

Use of Simple Past

• action in the past taking place once, never or several times
  Example: He visited his parents every weekend.
• actions in the past taking place one after the other
  Example: He came in, took off his coat and sat down.
• action in the past taking place in the middle of another action
  Example: When I was having breakfast, the phone suddenly rang.
• if sentences type II (If I talked, …)
  Example: If I had a lot of money, I would share it with you.

are called regular verbs to those that form the past by adding the suffix 'ed' or 'd' to the root of the verb. This marker past helps to recognize this type of verbs in written text.

Pasado Simple – (Simple Past Tense)

*Simple Past tense is used to describe actions that have happened at an earlier time and have already completed, for example:

Example:

They broke a window - Ellos rompieron una ventana
We bought some drinks - Compramos unas bebidas
She fall asleep - Ella se quedó dormida
He kicked the ball - El pateó la pelota
I turned on the lights - Encendí las luces

We use the past simple tense to talk about an action or a situation - an event - in the past. The event can be short or long.

Here are some short events with the past simple tense:

• EXAMPLES:

                                      Regular Verb----Irregular Verb

• Affirmatives Sentences

Here are some long events with the past simple tense:

Notice that it does not matter how long ago the event is: it can be a few minutes or seconds in the past, or millions of years in the past. Also it does not matter how long the event is. It can be a few milliseconds (car explosion) or millions of years (Jurassic period). We use the past simple tense when:

• the event is in the past
• the event is completely finished
• we say (or understand) the time and/or place of the event

In general, if we say the time or place of the event, we must use the past simple tense; we cannot use the present perfect.

Here are some more 

examples:

• I lived in that house when I was young.
• He didn't like the movie.
• What did you eat for dinner?
• John drove to London on Monday.
• Mary did not go to work yesterday.
• Did you play tennis last week?
• I was at work yesterday.
• We were not late (for the train).
• Were you angry?

Note that when we tell a story, we usually use the past simple tense. We may use the past continuous tense to "set the scene", but we almost always use the past simple tense for the action. Look at this example of the beginning of a story:

"The wind was howling around the hotel and the rain was pouring down. It was cold. The door opened and James Bond entered. He took off his coat, which was very wet, andordered a drink at the bar. He sat down in the corner of the lounge and quietly drank his..."
