Pasado Simple: ¡Domina el arte de narrar el pasado!
¿Quieres contar historias, relatar eventos o describir lo que hiciste ayer? El Pasado Simple es tu herramienta clave. Con esta guía definitiva, no solo aprenderás a formar oraciones, sino que dominarás el arte de narrar acciones que ya terminaron. Desde verbos regulares con su simple -ed hasta los irregulares que debes memorizar, aquí encontrarás todo lo que necesitas para comunicarte con precisión.
A diferencia del presente, el pasado simple se enfoca en acciones que se completaron en un tiempo específico. Presta atención a los verbos, que son la esencia de este tiempo verbal. Los verbos regulares simplemente añaden una terminación, mientras que los irregulares transforman su forma por completo.
Verbos Regulares
Son los verbos que siguen una regla: solo necesitas añadir -ed al final para formar su pasado.
Verbos Irregulares
Estos verbos son especiales. Cambian de forma y deben ser memorizados. ¡No te preocupes, con la práctica se vuelven fáciles!
