El pasado simple o simple past en inglés, es un tiempo verbal que se utiliza para hablar de una acción que sucedió en un momento concreto del pasado y que ya ha terminado. Se trata de un tiempo verbal muy sencillo de conjugar, aunque a veces resulta un poco difícil de usar en contexto.
La forma afirmativa del pasado simple se construye añadiendo la terminación -ed al infinitivo del verbo (por ejemplo, work –> worked). Sin embargo, hay que tener en cuenta que hay muchos verbos irregulars en pasado simple, que no siguen esta regla y tienen que aprenderse de memoria. Algunos de los verbos más comunes en pasado simple son: be (was/were), have (had), do (did), say (said), go (went).
La forma negativa del pasado simple se construye añadiendo la palabra didn’t (contracción de did not) antes del infinitivo del verbo. Por ejemplo:
Ididn’t work yesterday.
Youdidn’tsee that film.
Hedidn’tgo out last night.
Wedidn’thave dinner together.
Theydidn’tarrive on time.
La forma interrogativa del pasado simple se construye poniendo la palabra did delante del sujeto, seguida del infinitivo del verbo. Por ejemplo:
Didyouwork yesterday?
Didhearrive on time?
Didtheyhave dinner together?
Para hacer preguntas en pasado simple con verbos irregulares, hay que tener en cuenta que la forma interrogativa se construye poniendo la forma base del verbo (work –> did work, arrive –> did arrive, have –> did have) delante del sujeto. Por ejemplo:
Didhework yesterday?
Didtheyarrive on time?
Didwehave dinner together?
La forma interrogativa-negativa del pasado simple se construye poniendo la palabra didn’t delante del sujeto, seguida de la forma base del verbo. Por ejemplo:
Didn’tyouwork yesterday?
Didn’thearrive on time?
Didn’ttheyhave dinner together?
