Simple Past
El tiempo Pasado Simple se usa para hablar de acciones terminadas en el pasado. Como hacen referencia a
acciones que ya ocurrieron, siempre deben ir en un contexto pasado, ya sea porque se está contando una
historia que ya pasó, o bien usando complementos de tiempo pasado, como:
yesterday
Ayer
last night
Anoche
last week
la semana pasada
last month
el mes pasado
last year
el año pasado
in 1970
en 1970
Comenzaremos con la conjugación del verbo to be. Para la primera y tercera persona es was, para todas
las demás es were.

El verbo to have en pasado es had. Es igual para todas las personas.
I had breakfast at 8 o'clock.
Tomé el desayuno a las 8 en punto.
Para usar otros verbos en este tiempo, se usa la forma del verbo en pasado simple, que es igual para todas
las personas. La formación del pasado simple depende si el verbo es regular o irregular.
1
Verbos regulares
En el caso de los verbos regulares, el pasado simple se forma tomando el propio verbo y agregando "ed", o
"d" si termina en vocal. Si termina en "y", se cambia por "ied".
We played tennis for two hours.
Jugamos tenis por dos horas.
You studied a lot.
Estudiaste mucho.
She arrived late.

Mary watched a good movie yesterday.
Mary vio una buena película ayer.
Verbos irregulares
Los verbos irregulares tienen su propia forma del pasado simple y la única manera de aprenderlos es
memorizarlos. Normalmente son los que aparecen en la segunda columna de los listados de verbos
irregulares en los diccionarios de inglés.
Por ejemplo el pasado del verbo to go (ir) es "went". El pasado de to see (ver) es "saw". Siempre es
igual para todas las personas.
We went to London in 1994.
Fuimos a Londres es 1994.
