GRAMMAR
Fem servir el Past Simple per parlar d'accions que fem en un temps concret del passat.
Els verbs poden ser regulars o irregulars. Els verbs regulars són aquells que per formar-los en mode Afirmatiu cal afegir-los -ed a l'infinitiu. Les variacions poden ser les següents:
- Quan el verb acaba a «e», s'afegeix només -d (use = used)
- Si el verb acaba en "y" precedit d'una vocal, es canvia la "y" per "i" i s'hi afegeix -ed (study = studied)
- Si el verb acaba amb consonant-vocal-consonant, es doblega la darrera consonant i s'hi afegeix -ed. (stop = stopped). Hi ha excepcions, com per exemple si el verb acaba en w o x no es doblega consonant, només s'afegeix -ed (fix = fixed). Si el verb acaba a “c”, aquesta no duplica però s'afegeix una “k” + -ed (picnic = picnicked)
- Quan un verb acaba a «l», es duplica i s'afegeix -ed (travel = travelled)
Els verbs irregulars no segueixen un patró, els hem d'estudiar.
PAST SIMPLE AFFIRMATIVE
Formem l'afirmativa del passat simple tant de verbs regulars com irregulars amb la fórmula següent. El verb és el mateix independentment del subjecte:
SUBJECTE + VERB (regular o irregular) + COMPLEMENTS
Per exemple:
I talked to an engineer. – Jo vaig parlar amb un enginyer.
She played the guitar. – Ella va tocar la guitarra.
We met an artist. – Nosaltres vam conèixer un artista.
They went to Paris. – Ells van anar a París.
PAST SIMPLE NEGATIVE
Formem el mode negatiu del passat simple tant de verbs regulars com irregulars amb la fórmula següent.
SUBJECTE + DIDN’T * + VERB EN INFINITIU + COMPLEMENTS
*DIDN’T = did not = passat de do not (don’t)
Per exemple:
You didn’t listen to the gardener. – Tu no vas escoltar el jardiner.
He didn’t design a bridge. – Ell no va dissenyar un pont.
We didn’t make a cake. – Nosaltres no vam fer un pastís.
They didn’t win a prize. – Elles no van guanyar un premi.
