TIEMPO PASADO: VERBOS REGULARES  E  IRREGULARES


En esta lección haremos una revisión de la,  Lección N° 19: Qué son los verbos regulares e irregulares ( ingresa en el vínculo para repasarlo) en la cual se  explica la diferencia entre los verbos regulares e irregulares. 

Conjugación de los verbos regulares e irregulares

Ambos tipos de verbos tienen el mismo sistema de conjugación en tiempo pasado, veamos los siguientes ejemplos:

Tiempo pasado: Verbo regular TO WORK (infinitivo)

I         worked          =    Yo trabajé

You   worked          =    Tú trabajaste

He    worked           =    El trabajó

She  worked           =    Ella trabajó

It       worked           =    Eso (ello) trabajó

We   worked           =    Nosotros trabajamos

You  worked           =    Ustedes trabajaron

They worked          =    Ellos trabajaron

Tiempo pasado: Verbo irregular TO BUY (infinitivo)

 I         bought          =    Yo compré

You    bought          =    Tú compraste

He      bought          =    El compró

She    bought          =    Ella compró

It          bought         =    Eso (ello) compró

We      bought         =    Nosotros compramos

You     bought         =    Ustedes compraron

They   bought         =    Ellos compraron


Nota 1.- Como notarás para conjugar los  verbos regulares en tiempo pasado, estos,  reciben la partícula -  ed -  al final del verbo en infinitivo en todas las personas.

Nota 2.- En cambio para conjugar los verbos irregulares en tiempo pasado, estos cambian absolutamente toda su estructura del verbo en infinitivo.

Recordando el Ayer

LECCIÓN N° 22

"Presentándome en Conferencias Internacionales. ¡El Inglés abre puertas que no te imaginas!"

EL TIEMPO PASADO SIMPLE


"Aprendé a decir 'Yo estuve' o 'Yo era' con seguridad."

 ¿Cuándo se utiliza el tiempo pasado simple?

El Pasado Simple se utiliza cuando las acciones o eventos se iniciaron en algún momento en el pasado y finalizaron en otro momento también en el pasado.

Ejemplos:

1) Ella comió una manzana.

2) Nosotros estábamos en el colegio ayer.

3) Ellos jugaron fútbol el sábado.

4) Yo miré una película esta mañana.

5) Juan era cantante de tangos.

Observa esta línea de tiempo:

  Como notarás se habla en tiempo pasado desde la perspectiva del tiempo presente.
