UNIDAD 5: LIFE IN THE PAST (PAST OF TO BE; SIMPLE PAST TENSE)

 TO BE PAST
El pasado simple del verbo "To be" (ser o estar) se forma cambiando las
formas "am" e "is"por "was" y la forma "are" por "were".

Por lo demás, para formar la negativa y la interrogativa la forma es la misma que en el

presente simple.
A continuación veremos las formas afirmativa, negativa en interrogativa del  verbo "to be" en
pasado:

Afirmativa:
- I was: yo era o yo estaba.
- You were: tú eras o tú estabas.
- He was: él era o él estaba.
- She was: ella era o ella estaba.
- It was: eso era o eso estaba.
- We were: nosotros éramos o nosotros estábamos.
- You were: vosotros erais o vosotros estabais.
- They were: ellos eran o ellos estaban.

Negativa:
- I was not: yo no era o yo no estaba.
- You were not: tú no eras o tú no estabas.
- He was not: él no era o él no estaba.
- She was not: ella no era o ella no estaba.
- It was not: eso no era o eso no estaba.
- We were not: nosotros no éramos o nosotros no estábamos.
- You were not: vosotros no erais o vosotros no estabais.
- They were not: ellos no eran o ellos no estaban.

Interrogativa:
- Was I?: ¿era yo? o ¿estaba yo?
- Were you?: ¿eras tú? o ¿estabas tú?
- Was he?: ¿era él? o ¿estaba él?
- Was she?: ¿era ella? o ¿estaba ella?
- Was it?: ¿era eso? o ¿estaba eso?
- Were we?: ¿éramos nosotros? o ¿estábamos nosotros?
- Were you?: ¿erais vosotros? o ¿estabais vosotros?
- Were they?: ¿eran ellos? o ¿estaban ellos?

Ejemplos:
- He was my friend when I was twelve years old → Él era mi amigo cuando yo tenía doce
años.
- I wasn't at school at half-past eleven → Yo no estaba en el colegio a las once y media.
- Were they at home yesterday? → ¿Estaban ellos ayer en casa? (no confundir "where
 (donde)" con were).

Para terminar, decir que las formas negativas contraídas son:

was not → wasn't
were not → weren't

 PASADO CON VERBOS DIFERENTES AL TO BE

El pasado simple funciona de manera similar al Presente simple, salvo que empleamos el
auxiliar 'did' para todas las personas (incluida la tercera persona singular 'he / she / it'). En la
forma afirmativa, el auxiliar 'did' no aparece, empleando en su lugar la terminación ' ed'. Esta
es la forma de pasado para todos los 'Verbos Regulares'
Ejemplos: trabajar- work-worked; vivir: live-lived, jugar: play-played

AFIRMATIVA NEGATIVA
I played Yo jugué I did not play Yo no jugué
You played Tú jugaste You did not play Tú no jugaste
He played Él jugó He did not play Él no jugó
We played Nosotros jugamos We did not play Nosotros no jugamos
You played Vosotros jugasteis  You did not play Vosotros no jugasteis 
They played Ellos jugaron They did not play  Ellos no jugaron

INTERROGATIVA INT.-NEGATIVA
Did I play? ¿Jugué? Didn't I play? ¿No jugué?
Did you play? ¿Jugaste? Didn't you play? ¿No jugaste?
Did he play? ¿Jugó? Didn't he play? ¿No jugó?
Did we play? ¿Jugamos? Didn't we play? ¿No jugamos?
Did you play? ¿Jugasteis? Didn't you play? ¿No jugasteis?
Did they play? ¿Jugaron? Didn't they play? ¿No jugaron?

Existe un amplio conjunto de verbos que no cumplen esta condición, es decir, para la forma
afirmativa no emplean la terminación 'ed' sino que su forma es irregular. No siguen ninguna
regla, por lo que la única manera de conocer su forma de pasado es aprenderla. Se
denominan 'Verbos Irregulares'.

A continuación se presenta una tabla con los principales verbos irregulares del inglés. Su forma
afirmativa se construye con la segunda columna (pasado simple), la forma negativa e interrogativa
requieren del auxiliar did como en los verbos regulares.
