Checa las oraciones del ejercicio 1 y 2 de nuevo y analiza los verbos en 
pasado (letras en rojo) y contesta la siguiente pregunta. 
 
¿Qué diferencia notas entre los verbos en pasado? 
 
Piensa …. 
 
 Piensa …… 
 
 Piensa…… 
 
Piensa …. 
 
 Piensa …… 
 
 Piensa…… 
 
Piensa …. 
 
 Piensa …… 
 
 Piensa…… 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Tal vez llegaste a la conclusión que algunos terminan en “ed” y otros no. Si 
no es así observa los verbos nuevamente y checa esta diferencia. 
 
La razón por la cual unos verbos en pasado terminan en “ed” y otros no es 
la siguiente: 
 
Existen dos clases de verbos en pasado: los regulares y los irregulares. 
 
 
Los verbos regulares son los que terminan en “ed” 
 
Ejemplo: 
 
Verbo presente pasado 
 
Jugar play played 
Limpiar clean cleaned 
Lavar wash washed 
 
 
Los verbos irregulares son los que terminan en cualquier cosa pero no en “ed” 
 
Ejemplo: 
 
Verbo presente pasado 
 
Ir go went 
Comer eat ate 
Beber drink drank 
 
 
Talvez te estés preguntando como saber como saber cuando los verbos son 
regulares y cuando son regulares. NO EXISTE UNA REGLA MAGICA PARA 
SABER TAL COSA. Lo único que puedes hacer es MEMORIZAR los verbos en 
pasado. Aquí esta una lista de verbos regulares e irregulares. Si algún verbo que 
quieras saber en pasado no esta en la lista. Aquí están unas ligas de Internet que 
puedes consultar para ver mas listas de verbos.

Ejercicio 3 
 
 
 
Ahora que tienes las listas de verbos en pasado, apóyate en un diccionario y 
traduce las oraciones del ejercicio 1 y 2 al español. 
 
 
 
Ejemplo: 
 
 
She sold fruits in the market yesterday Ella vendió frutas en el mercado ayer 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Ejercicio 4 
 
Una vez que traduzcas las oraciones, analiza sus componentes e identifica los 
siguientes elementos. 
 
Subject – verb in past – object – place – time 
Sujeto verbo en pasado objeto lugar tiempo 
 
Ejemplo: 
 
(con la oración 1 del ejercicio 1) She sold fruits in the market yesterday. 
 
 
Subject: she 
Verb in past: sold 
Object:fruits 
Place: in the market 
Time: yesterday 
 
*No todas las oraciones contienen o llevan todos los elementos 
 
 
Simple past affirmative 
 
La formula para hacer oraciones afirmativas es como sigue: 
 
Persona + verbo en pasado + objeto + lugar + tiempo. Ejemplo: 
 
Pedro ate hamburgers in Burger King yesterday 
 
* Pedro comió hamburguesas en Burger king ayer 
 
La persona puede ser un pronombre personal, o el nombre de la persona, como 
en el ejemplo. Personas: I, you, he, she, it , we, you, they 
 Yo, tu, el, ella, ello nosotros, uds, ellos 
 
El tiempo, como estamos hablando en pasado son palabras que te refieran al 
tiempo pasado. Tales como: 
 
Ayer : yesterday 
La semana pasada: last week 
El mes pasado: last month 
El fin de semana pasado: last weekend 
El sábado pasado: last Saturday 
Antier: the day before yesterday 
En 1999 in 1999 
 
Observa de nuevo la regla para hacer oraciones afirmativas y ordena las 
siguientes oraciones: 
 
Persona + verbo en pasado + objeto + lugar + tiempo.

Simple past questions 
 
Hay 2 tipos de preguntas en pasado, las 
 
1.- yes / no questions 
2.-Wh questions 
 
Yes/ No questions??????????? 
 
Para hacer preguntas “yes / no” en pasado sigue el siguiente formato: 
Did + persona + verbo en presente + complemento…….? 
 
Ejemplo: 
 
 I 
http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/exercises/tenses/simple_past_negation_sentences3.htm
http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/exercises/tenses/simple_past_negation_sentences3.htm
 you 
 he 
Did she go to the movies yesterday ? 
 It 
 We 
 You 
 they 
 
* La persona tambien puede ser un familiar o el nombre de alguien (Peter, Laura, 
Tom and Sue , my father, my cousins, firulais etc….. ) 
 
Mas ejemplos: 
 
A: Did Pepe and Toño study for the exam yesterday? 
 
B: Yes, they did. They studied all day yesterday 
 
 
A: Did Laura go shopping last weekend? 
 
B: No, she didn’t. She stayed home 
 
 
 
Como podrás notar las preguntas “yes / no” se responden así porque siempre se 
responden con “sí” o “no” , ya después puedes dar información extra como en 
los ejemplos anteriores, pero es opcional. 
 
Exercise 8 
 
 Ordena las siguientes oraciones: 
 
1.- You / did / play / last / soccer / Sunday / ? 
 
2.- Jenny / go / last Summer / to the beach / did / ? 
 
3.- your parents / did / buy / last year / a house ? 
 
4.- you / go to the movies / yesterday / did? 
 
5.- do / his home work / did / Pedro ? 
 
6.- your father / work / yesterday / did ? 
 
7.- cook / María / dinner / did / last night / ? 
 
 
Exercise 9 
 
Observa los siguientes dibujos y contesta las preguntas con 
 
 He he 
Yes, she did. ONo, she didn’t 
 It it 
 They they 
 
Cada vez que digas que “no”, da la información correcta 
 
Example: 
 
 
 
Did she eat a hamburger ? no, she didn’t . She ate some ice cream 
 
 
 
 
1.-Did the giraffe eat leaves? 2.- Did Mary relax during the weekend? 
 
___________________________ ______________________________ 
 
 
 
 
 
3.-Did Mary win the first prize? 4.- Did Pedro play soccer in the afternoon? 
_________________________ _______________________________ 
 
 
 
 
 
 
5.-Did Mary clean yesterday? 6.-Did Hugo and Lola ride their bikes yesterday? 
_________________________ _________________________________ 
 
 
“Wh” questions 
 
 
Las preguntas “wh” no se contestan con “sí “ o con “no” , como las preguntas 
anteriores, se contestan con información específica. 
Estas preguntas se llaman así porque empiezan con una palabra que empieza 
con “wh” como: 
 
Where = Donde 
Who = Quien 
What = Que o Cual 
When = Cuando 
Why = Porque 
 
La formula para hacer estas preguntas es 
 
 Palabra “WH” + Did + persona + verbo en presente + complemento…….? 
 
Ejemplo: 
 I 
 you 
 he 
Where Did she play ? 
 It 
 We 
 You 
 they 
 
 
Estas preguntas las usan mucho los reporteros para obtener mas información de 
lo que dicen las celebridades. 
 
Imagina que Madonna dice a su llegada a Inglaterra dice: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
O sea : me desmaye! 
 
Lo que le preguntarían los reporteros sería algo así como: 
 
 
Reporters Madonna 
 
Where did you faint ? at the airport 
 
When did you faint ? two hours ago 
 
Why did you faint ? because I didn’t eat well today 
 
What did you do afterwards? I went to the hospital 
 
Who did you go with ? with my manager
