UNIT ONE

Simple Past Tense

El pasado simple se utiliza para describir acciones que han sucedido en un tiempo anterior y que

ya han finalizado.

Affirmative Sentences Existen dos tipos de verbos para formar el pasado simple: los verbos regulares y los verbos

irregulares.

A continuación observemos las conjugaciones con los dos tipos de verbos:

Rules for Regular Verbs: Para la formación de una oración en pasado con los verbos regulares se siguen las siguientes

reglas:

Ejemplo:

listen – listened

work – worked

2. Si un verbo termina en –e, se añade únicamente la –d

Ejemplo:

arrive- arrived

dance- danced

3. Si un verbo termina en –y precedido por una consonante, este se cambia por i y se añade - ed

Ejemplo:

cry – cried

study – studied

A continuación se presenta una lista de verbos básicos en los que se aplican las reglas detalladas

UNIT TWO

Simple Past Tense

En el capítulo anterior observamos la formación de las oraciones afirmativas en pasado simple y el

único cambio a efectuarse en las oraciones es el verbo. Sin embargo, en la formación de oraciones

negativas y preguntas se necesita del auxiliar did y la forma base del verbo.

Negative Sentences

Para formar oraciones negativas necesitamos del auxiliar did not + la forma base del verbo ya sea

para los verbos regulares o irregulares.

Estructura:

Claudia did not write a letter to her mother. (*)

Sujeto + did not + forma base del verbo + complemento

* (Note que el verbo no cambia al pasado por tener el auxiliar did)

Ejemplos:

- They did not play soccer after school. Ellos no jugaron fútbol después de la escuela.

- Joel didn’t listen to his teacher. Joel no escuchó a su profesora.

- Katherine and Andrew didn’t come to the meeting. Katherine y Andrew no vinieron a la

reunión.

Complement

I did not

buy anything yesterday

You like soup.

He have a son.

She

didn't

take the bus

It work well.

We visit our friend.

You take the taxi

They write that letter.

Yes/No Questions

Para formar preguntas de si/no empleamos el auxiliar DID antes del sujeto y el verbo. Este auxiliar

no tiene ningún significado, únicamente nos indica que se trata de una pregunta en el pasado

simple.

Al igual que en las oraciones negativas, al tener el auxiliar el verbo no se conjuga en el pasado.

Estructura:

Did you open the window?

Auxiliar (Did) + Sujeto + Verbo (Forma base del verbo)

Auxiliary Subject Base form verb Complement Short answers

Did

I give you my phone number? Yes, I did

you like the party? Yes, I did / No, I didn’t

he go to the swimming pool? Yes, he did / No, he didn’t

she have a boyfriend? Yes, she did / No, she didn’t

it take a long distance? Yes, it did / No, it didn’t

we play soccer? Yes, we did/ No, we didn’t

you grow in a small town? Yes, we did / No, we didn’t

they buy souvenirs? Yes, they did / No, we didn’t

Ejemplos:

- Did you open the window? ¿Tú abriste la ventana?

- Did she buy anything for me? ¿Ella compró algo para mí?

- Did they have a nice day? ¿ Ellos tuvieron un bonito día?

Wh- Questions Para formar preguntas de información en el pasado simple aplicamos la misma estructura

empleada en las preguntas de si/no.

Estructura

Where did you go ? - To a party.

Wh-word + Aux (did) + Subject + (forma base del verbo)?

UNIT 4

Adjectives

El adjetivo es una palabra que califica un sustantivo; es decir, lo describe.

Ejemplo:

- The old house in my neighborhood is green.

En esta oración tenemos el adjetivo OLD que está calificando al sustantivo HOUSE. En inglés los

adjetivos van ubicados adelante del sustantivo.

Los adjetivos en inglés tienen una única forma, por lo que no varían ni en función del género

(femenino o masculino), ni del número (singular o plural) del sustantivo al que acompañan:

Ejemplos:

- The happy boy El niño feliz

- The happy girl La niña feliz

- The happy boys Los niños felices

- The happy girls Las niñas felices

El adjetivo en inglés se sitúa delante del sustantivo:

Ejemplos:

- A big car Un carro grande

- An old person Una persona mayor

careful = cuidadoso carefully = cuidadosamente

Comenzó a estudiar antes de ese momento y continuó estudiando posteriormente

- John was playing tennis at 10 a.m. John estuvo jugando tenis a las 10 a.m. Comenzó a jugar tenis antes de las 10 a.m. y continuó haciéndolo después

Affirmative Sentences

Ejemplo: - My niece was doing her homework alone. Mi sobrina estuvo haciendo sola su deber. - Henry and Linda were dancing all night. Henry y Linda estuvieron bailando toda la noche. - I was watching TV while I was eating. Estuve viendo tv mientras estaba comiendo.

Sujeto + Verbo To-Be(was-were) + Verbo (ING) + Complemento

Verbo To-Be(was-were) + Sujeto + Verbo (ING) + Complemento?

Sujeto + Verbo To-Be(was-were) + Not + Verbo (ING) + Complemento

36

Wh Questions

Ejemplo:

- Where was your father working yesterday? ¿Dónde estuvo trabajando tu padre ayer?

- What were you doing yesterday morning? ¿Qué estuviste haciendo ayer en la mañana?

- Who was she chatting to in the class? ¿Con quién estaba ella chateando en la clase?

También se puede utilizar este tiempo para relatar dos acciones que sucedieron en el pasado y que una de ellas ya se ha completado. Para ello utilizamos el Pasado Simple para mencionar lo que ya finalizó y el Pasado Continuo para relatar lo que sigue ejecutándose.

- When I left, he was studying the lesson. Cuando yo partí, él estaba estudiando la lección.

- They were singing when I broke the window Ellos estaban cantando cuando rompí la ventana.

Rules for adding “ING” to a verb.

1. Si la forma simple de un verbo termina en “y” solo agrega la terminación “ing”

play = playing

study = studying

2. Si la forma simple de un verbo termina en “e” elimina la “e” y agrega el “ing”take = taking

make = making

see = seeing (excepción)

3. Si la forma simple de un verbo termina en consonante-vocal-consonante repite la última

consonante y después agrega el “ing”. A excepción de los verbos que terminen en x-z-w.

sit + ing = sitting

run + ing = running

stop + ing = stopping

4. La “i” cambia por la “y” en los siguientes verbos

tie = tying

lie = lying

die = dying

El pasado continuo lo utilizamos para una acción larga que ya en el pasado fue interrumpido. La acción que se interrumpe está en pasado continuo y la acción que provoca la interrupción está en pasado simple.

"When" y "while" señalan el uso del pasado simple y continuo. En general, usamos el pasado simple directamente después de "when" y el pasado continuo después de "while."

Wh + To-Be (was-were)+ Sujeto + Verbo (ING) + Complemento?

37

- Jose called while I was watching the news. José llamó mientras estaba mirando las noticias. - He was walking to work when he fell. Estaba caminando hacia su trabajo cuando se cayó. - Was it raining when you left? ¿Estaba lloviendo cuando te fuiste?
