Affirmative form

Primeiramente, leia o texto abaixo com verbos no passado:

On my last vacation, I traveled to a small city. I visited my grandparents, talked to them and ate delicious homemade food. I like to travel to small cities, because I live in a big one. In my grandparent’s city, I rode a bike, went to the theather and spent a great time with them. I loved it!

Os verbos no Simple Past são traveled, visited, talked, ate, rode, went, spent, loved; eles expressam ações que aconteceram nas últimas férias da pessoa que escreveu. Lembrando que no modo afirmativo, os verbos se dividem em verbos regulares (regular verbs) e verbos irregulares (irregular verbs).

Nos regular verbs, eles são divididos nas terminações -d, -ed, -ied:

  • to dance (dançar) -> danced
  • to arrive (chegar) -> arrived
  • to want (querer) -> wanted
  • to work (trabalhar) -> worked
  • to watch (assistir) -> watched
  • to listen (escutar) -> listened
  • to study (estudar) -> studied
  • to try (tentar/experimentar) -> tried
  • to cry (chorar) -> cried

Na terminação ied, o y é substituído pois antes tem uma consoante antes. Se tiver um vogal, a terminação ed é acrescentada, como em to play (jogar, brincar) -> played.

Nos irregular verbs, é necessário olhar a lista de verbos, pois eles não seguem uma regra específica. No módulo 6 tem uma lista completa de verbos irregulares para você consultar sempre que precisar, aqui vão alguns deles:

  • to be (ser/estar) -> was/were
  • to buy (comprar) -> bought
  • to begin (começar) -> began
  • to break (quebrar) -> broke
  • to choose (escolher) -> chose
  • to do (fazer) -> did
  • to drink (beber) -> drank
  • to drive (dirigir) -> drove
  • to eat (comer) -> ate
  • to feel (sentir) -> felt
  • to forget (esquecer) -> forgot
  • to go (ir) -> went
  • to have (ter) -> had
  • to learn (aprender) -> learned/learnt
  • to meet (encontrar/conhecer) -> met
  • to read (ler) -> read
  • to see (ver) -> saw
  • to sleep (dormir) -> slept
  • to speak (falar) -> spoke
  • to think (pensar) -> thought
  • to win (ganhar) -> won

As conjugações dos verbos regulares e irregulares vale somente para frases afirmativas.

Negative form and Interrogative form

Nas frases negativas e interrogativas, é necessário colocar o verbo auxiliar do Simple Past na estrutura: o did, pois o verbo principal da frase volta para a forma básica. Nas frases negativas: did not ou didn’t e nas frases interrogativa: Did no início da pergunta, invertendo com o sujeito.

Vamos transformar juntos as frases em negative e interrogative form? Vamos lá!

  • She arrived on time. (Ela chegou no horário)

Negative: She didn’t arrive on time. (verbo arrive volta para forma básica)

Interrogative: Did she arrive on time?

  • You worked a lot yesterday. (Você trabalhou muito ontem)

Negative: You didn’t work a lot yesterday.

Interrogative: Did you work a lot yesterday?

  • They went to a rock’s concert. (Eles foram para um show de rock)

Negative: They didn’t go to a rock’s concert.

Interrogative: Did they go to a rock’s concert?

  • We had fun last night! (Nós nos divertimos na noite passada)

Negative: We didn’t have fun last night.

Interrogative: Did we have fun last night?

  • She was tired. (Ela estava cansada)

O verbo to be no passado (was/were) possui uma conjugação própria e não é necessário colocar did nas frases negativas e interrogativas.

Negative: She wasn’t tired.

Interrogative: Was she tired?
