Grammar

Enunciado (ES): Usamos el verbo to be en pasado simple para hablar de sentimientos, situaciones o cómo eran las cosas en el pasado; usamos el pasado simple para hablar de una acción que ocurrió en el pasado; usamos el pasado perfecto para hablar de una acción que ocurrió antes de otra acción en el pasado.

Enunciado (EN): We use the verb to be in simple past tense to talk about feelings, situations, or how things were in the past; we use the simple past tense to talk about an action that happened in the past; we use the past perfect tense to talk about an action that happened before another action in the past.

Recuerda: En pasado simple usamos la forma pasada del verbo solo en oraciones afirmativas; en negativas e interrogativas usamos el auxiliar did + verbo en forma base.

Recuerda también: Los verbos en inglés se dividen en regulares e irregulares.

Regular verbs (verbos regulares)

Son la mayoría, incluyendo todos los verbos similares al español:

Base form	Past form
work	worked
study	studied
rebel	rebelled
play	played
like	liked

Irregular verbs (verbos irregulares)

Son un poco más de 100 verbos de uso muy común. La mayoría cambia una vocal en su forma pasada y se aprenden mejor en grupos:

Base form	Past form
sing	sang
swim	swam
begin	began

Respuesta orientativa: Los verbos regulares forman el pasado agregando -ed (work → worked). Los irregulares no siguen esa regla y cambian de forma (sing → sang, swim → swam, begin → began).
