Como formar o tempo passado em Inglês

Como  formar o tempo passado em Inglês

 só há uma forma  no passado
A exceção é o tempo passado de To be: was and were) e tem duas formas

Isso é totalmente diferente de outros idiomas, como espanhol, francês, italiano etc. onde você mudar o verbo final para cada assunto.

 Por exemplo: O passado do verbo want is wanted.
Wanted is used as the past tense for all subjects/pronouns.

• I wanted
• You wanted
• He wanted
• She wanted
• It wanted
• We wanted
• They wanted

Então, você apenas tem que aprender uma palavra para ser capaz de usá-lo no passado. Neste caso, è necessário  aprender uma palavra wanted. que pode ser usado para todos os indivíduos (ou pessoas)

Verbos Regulares 

To change a regular verb into its past tense form, we normally add –ED to the end of the verb.

• play – played
• cook – cooked
• rain – rained
• wait – waited

Há algumas exceções com uma ligeira mudança na ortografia que você pode ver aqui:

soletrando palavras que terminam

A regra geral quando se muda uma palavra (or verb) into its -ED formulário é apenas para add -ED no final do verbo

Infinitive	ED form

to rain	rained

Negative sentences in the Past Tense

Usamos did not (don`t) para fazer uma sentença negativa no passado.

Isto é para verbos regulares e irregulares em Inglês.

(Exceção é To be e verbos modais, como can)

Compare o seguinte:

Present: They don't live in Chile.
Past: They didn't live in Chile.

The main verb (live in the example above) is in its base form (of the infinitive). The auxiliary DIDN'T shows that the sentence is negative AND in the past tense.

AVISO: A única diferença entre uma sentença negativa no tempo presente e uma sentença negativa no passado é a variação do verbo auxiliar

juntos don`t e doesn`t  viram  didn't no passado

Comparar as frases negativas nos exemplos abaixo:

Present: You don't need a doctor.
Past: You didn't need a doctor.

Present: You don't drive to work.
Past: You didn't drive to work.

Present: He doesn't speak Arabic.
Past: He didn't speak Arabic.

Examples of negative sentences in the Past Tense

• I didn't want to go to school.
• She didn't have time to pay her bills.
• You didn't close the door when you left.
• He didn't come to my party last weekend.
• They didn't study  hard so they didn't pass the test.
• We didn't sleep well last night , because of the party next door.

Questions in the Past Tense

. Usamos DID para fazer uma pergunta no passado
This is for regular AND irregular verbs in English.
(Exception is To Be and Modal Verbs such as Can)

Compare o seguinte:

Present: Do they live in France?
Past: Did they live in France?

The main verb (live in the example above) is in its base form (of the infinitive). The auxiliary DID shows that the question is in the past tense.

NOTICE: The only difference between a question in the present tense and a question in the past tense is the change in the auxiliary verb.
Both Do - Does in present tense questions become Didn't in past tense questions.

Compare the questions in the examples below:

Present: Do you need a doctor?
Past: Did you need a doctor?

Present: Do you ride your bike to school?
Past: Did you ride your bike to school?

Present: Does he live in Germany?
Past: Did he live in Germany?

We can also use a question words (Who, What, Why etc.) before DID to ask for more information.

• Did you study? – Yes, I did.
• When did you study? – I studied last night.
• Where did you study? – I studied at the library.

Examples of Questions in the Past Tense

• Did you go to school yesterday?
• Did they arrive on time?
• Did she like the surprise party?
• Where did she go yesterday?
• What did you do last night?
• What did you say? - I didn't say anything.
• Why did we have to come?

Irregular Verbs in the Past Tense

Irregular verbs are ONLY irregular in affirmative/positive sentences.
(An exception to this is with the verb TO BE in the past.

For example: The past tense of GO is WENT.
It does not end in –ED so it is considered irregular.

The word went is used for all subjects – I, you, we, they, he, she, it.

• I went to the beach with friends
• He went to the park.
• She went to the zoo.
• They went to the library.

BUT, as we mentioned before, it is only in its irregular form (went) in sentences that are affirmative/positive.

Compare the following using GO in the past tense.

• They went to the beach
• They didn't go to the beach --- Didn't shows that we are talking in the past tense.
• Did they go to the beach? --- Did shows that we are talking in the past tense.

Another example with an irregular verb.
The past of EAT is ATE.

• You ate my lunch.
• You didn't eat my lunch.
• Did you eat my lunch?
