Simple Past

Na aula passada, terminamos a revisão do tempo presente. Nessa aula e na próxima, veremos o passado dos verbos.

De maneira geral, utilizamos o passado simples para ações que começaram e foram finalizadas no passado.

Na aula 2, nós vimos o presente simples do verbo to be (am, is, are), que significa “ser” ou “estar”. No passado, ele vai ter duas formas: was para o singular e were para o plural.

Simple Present Simple Past
I am I was
He is
She is
It is
He was
She was
It was
We are
You are
They are
We were
You were
They were

As regras das formas negativa e interrogativa no passado continuam as mesmas do presente: para fazer a negativa, adicionamos o not após o to be; e para fazer a interrogativa, invertemos o to be com o sujeito:

Simple Past
Affirmative Negative Interrogative
I was
he was
she was
it was
I was not
he was not
she was not
it was not
was I?
was he?
was she?
was it?
we were
you were
they were
we were not
you were not
they were not
were we?
were you?
were they?

O was not pode ser contraído para wasn’t; e o were not para weren’t

Exemplos:
I was late for the class last week.
Kelly was very tired yesterday.
My parents were at work in the morning.
She was not with her friends Saturday night.
Were they sick yesterday?

Na aula 3, logo após o verbo to be, vimos o presente simples dos demais verbos. Dando continuidade ao passado simples, veremos logo, também, o passado dos outros verbos. Não se preocupe, pois é muito fácil!

Veja como inglês é muito mais fácil que português: quando conjugamos o passado em português, temos uma forma verbal para cada sujeito. No inglês é bem mais simples: se o verbo for regular, basta colocarmos o -ed para todas as pessoas. Dê uma olhada na tabela abaixo e faça a comparação:

português inglês
Eu joguei
Tu jogaste
Ele jogou
Nós jogamos
Vós jogastes
Eles jogaram
I played
You played
He/she/it played
We played
You played
They played
Viu como é fácil?
Veja alguns exemplos:
I finished the article about IT last night.
They created a faster smartphone last month.
Jonas played video game until late.

Para fazer a negativa e a interrogativa no presente simples, adicionamos o auxiliar do ou does, dependendo do sujeito, lembra? No passado, adicionamos o did para todas as pessoas:

negative interrogative
I did not play
You did not play
He/she/it did not play
We did not play
You did not play
They did not play
Did I play?
Did you play?
Did he/she/it play?
Did we play?
Did you play?
Did they play?

Perceba que, ao adicionarmos o auxiliar did, o verbo principal volta para sua forma infinitiva. Dê uma olhada novamente na tabela acima.
