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.
