GRAMMAR INFORMATION
Past Simple
The past simple is a verb tense which is used to show that a completed action took place
at a specific time in the past. It is also frequently used to talk about past habits and
generalizations.
El pasado simple es un tiempo verbal que se utiliza para mostrar que una acción completa
tuvo lugar en un momento específico en el pasado. También se usa con frecuencia para
hablar sobre hábitos pasados y generalizaciones.

Simple Past Forms / Formas del pasado simple

With most verbs, the past simple tense is formed by adding –ed for regular verbs.
However, there are many verbs with irregular past forms. Negative forms are made with
did not and questions or interrogative forms are made with did.
Con la mayoría de los verbos, el tiempo pasado simple se forma agregando –ed para
verbos regulares. Sin embargo, hay muchos verbos con formas irregulares en pasado.
Las formas negativas se hacen con did not y las preguntas o formas interrogativas se
hacen con did.

 Affirmative form (forma afirmativa): Subject (sujeto) + Verb in past (verbo en

pasado) + Complement (complemento)
Ex: They went to Spain for their holidays.

Negative form (forma negativa): Subject (sujeto) + did not / didn’t + Verb in
infinitive (verbo en infinitivo) + Complement (complemento)
Ex: They didn’t go to Spain for their holidays.
E
 Interrogative form (forma interrogativa): Did + Subject (sujeto) + Verb in
infinitive (verbo en infinitivo) + Complement (complemento) + ? (signo de pregunta)

Ex: Did they go to Spain for their holidays?
