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
