Simple Past form - Year 2

Come costruiamo il Simple Past Tense?

Ecco una mappa del simple past che puoi stampare copiaincollandola in un file di word:

	V1 base	V2 past	V3 past participle (questa colonna non ti serve per ora)
regular verb	work explode like	worked exploded liked	worked exploded liked	Il simple past di tutti i verbi regolari termina in -ed.
irregular verb	go see sing	went saw sang	gone seen sung	Il simple past di tutti i verbi irregolari è variabile. Devi impararli a memoria!
			Non ti serve il participio passato per formare il simple past tense. In questa tabella è riportato solo per completezza.

Struttura per le  frasi affermative:

 

• SOGGETTO   +   (VERBO BASE+ED)   per i verbi regolari

           Esempio: You played tennis

• SOGGETTO   +   PAST FORM  per i verbi irregolari: seconda voce del paradigma

          Esempio: You ate an apple.

 Struttura per le  frasi negative per i verbi regolari e irregolari:


 SOGGETTO   +  DIDN'T (= DID NOT)   +   VERBO BASE


Esempio: You didn't play tennis.
                  You didn't eat an apple.

 Struttura per le  frasi interrogative per i verbi regolari e irregolari:

 
 DID + SOGGETTO   +   VERBO BASE


Esempio: Did you play tennis?
               Did you eat an apple?

 Il verbo ausiliare did è lo stesso per tutte le persone = I did, you did, he did etc). 

	subject	auxiliary verb		main verb
+	I			went	to school.
	You			worked	very hard.
-	She	did	not	go	with me.
	We	did	not	work	yesterday.
?	Did	you		go	to London?
	Did	they		work	at home?

Eccezione! Il verbo to be (essere) è diverso: 

	subject	main verb
+	I, he/she/it	was		here.
	You, we, they	were		in London.
-	I, he/she/it	was	not	there.
	You, we, they	were	not	happy.
?	Was	I, he/she/it		right?
	Were	you, we, they		late?

Col past tense del verbo to be, non usare ausiliari per le frasi negative ed interrogative. 
Per fare una domanda, scambia di posto il soggetto con il verbo! Esempi:

• You were happy yesterday.
• You were not (=weren't) happy yesterday.
• Were you happy yesterday?

Short answers (risposte brevi):


Per le risposte brevi, usa lo stesso ausiliare che trovi nelle domande!


Esempi:

• Was he at home yesterday? Yes, he was. / No, he wasn't.
• Did you play tennis yesterday? Yes, I did. / No, I didn't.
• Did you eat an apple yesterday? Yes, I did. / No, I didn't.
