Què és el Past Simple?

El Past Simple és un temps verbal que, com el seu nom ja indica, parla del passat.

Hi ha diversos temps verbals per a parlar del passat però el Past Simple és el més utilitzat pel passat.

La part fàcil del PastSimple és que la conjugació del verb ésigual per a totes les persones.

Per exemple, el passat de work és worked, llavorsdius:

• I worked, you worked, he worked, we worked, etc.

La part difícil és que hi ha una llista llarga de verbs irregulars, i és qüestió de memoritzar. Ara explicarem com formar el Past Simple i com utilitzar-lo.

Com formar el Pasat Simple

El Pasat Simple es forma així:
Subjecte + infinitiu del verb + ED

I worked

You talked

She walked

He called

It rained

We cooked

You booked

They looked

• Si la E és l'última lletra de l'infinitiu, només afegim la -D:

smoke	smokeD	I smoked 5 cigarettes yesterday
live	liveD	I lived in Spain from 1999 to 2001

• Si les tres últimes lletres de l'infinitiu són: consonant – vocal – consonant, per exemple: stop or rob, hem de repetir l'última consonant:

Stop	Stopped
Rob	Robbed

• Si un verb solament té tres lletres i acaba en ay, per exemple: pay i say, llavors el passat es forma amb -aid:

Pay	Paid
Say	Said

Tots els exemples esmentats adalt són verbs regulars.

Verbs irregulars

Com hem esmentat abans; hi ha una llista llarga de verbs irregulars. Molts dels verbs més utilitzats són irregulars, començant amb el verb més usat, el verb: to be.
