Simple Past

SIMPLE PAST

(PASSADO SIMPLES)

Usa-se o Simple Past para expressar

a) ações acabadas em um tempo definido no

passado. 

Ex:

I walked to school yesterday. (Eu andei para

a escola ontem).

b) hábitos passados. 

Ex: He always walked to school when he

was a child. (Ele sempre andava para a escola quando

ele era criança).

Forma Afirmativa:

Para a formação do Simple Past em inglês,

os verbos são divididos em regulares e irregulares.

Os verbos regulares são aqueles que seguem regras

para a formação do passado e os irregulares são aqueles que não possuem regras para a formação do

passado, ou seja, possuem uma forma ortográfica diferente da dos verbos no infinitivo sem a partícula to. 

1. VERBOS REGULARES:

a) Regra geral: acrescenta-se a terminação

ED ao infinitivo sem a partícula to do verbo. Ex: 

to work = trabalhar  -  worked 

to talk = conversar - talked 

b) Verbos terminados em E: acrescenta-se

apenas D ao infinitivo sem a partícula to do verbo. 

Ex: 

to love = amar - loved 

to dance = dançar - danced 

c) Verbos terminados em Y: há dois casos.

- se o Y for precedido por vogal: acrescenta-se ED. 

Ex: 

to play = tocar, jogar - played 

to stay = ficar - stayed 

- se o Y for precedido por consoante: substitui-se Y por I e acrescenta-se ED. 

Ex:

to try = tentar - tried 

to cry = chorar - cried 

d) Verbos terminados em consoante / vogal

/ consoante que possuem a última sílaba tônica:

dobra-se a última consoante e acrescenta-se ED. 

Ex: 

to stop = parar - stopped 

to permit = permitir - permitted
