Past Simple – Regular Verbs

How to make Affirmative Sentences

Los verbos regulares forman el pasado añadiendo -ed al final del verbo base.

• Examples:

• play → played

• visit → visited

• like → liked

Spelling Rules:

1. Si el verbo termina en e, solo añadimos -d.

• Example: like → liked

2. Si el verbo termina en una consonante + y, cambiamos la y por i y añadimos -ed.

• Example: study → studied

3. Para la mayoría de los verbos, solo añadimos -ed.

• Example: listen → listened

How to make Negative and Interrogative Sentences

1. Negative Sentences:
   Usamos el auxiliar did not (didn’t) seguido del verbo base (sin -ed).

• Example:

• Affirmative: She played soccer.

• Negative: She did not play soccer.

2. Interrogative Sentences:
   Usamos el auxiliar did al principio de la oración, seguido del sujeto y el verbo base (sin -ed).

• Example:

• Affirmative: She played soccer.

• Interrogative: Did she play soccer?
