Simple past – é usado para falar de eventos ou ações que aconteceram no

passado e foram completados

Regulares / irregulares
Regulares usam a terminação ed - I worked yesterday
Irregulares usam terminação própria – I saw a movie last week
Na negativa, usa-se o verbo auxiliar Did + NOT (didn’t), e o verbo volta para
forma normal (infinitivo)
Na interrogativa o verbo auxiliar Did vem no inicio da frase, antes do sujeito, e o
verbo volta para a sua forma normal (infinitivo)
A terminação ED só é usada na afirmativa

Usaremos o verbo work como exemplo, mas a regra se aplica para todos os
verbos, regulares ou irregulares
