verb + back ... de vuelta

Pasado simple, forma negativa e interrogativa
La forma negativa de este tiempo verbal se forma con la
partcula did aadiendo la partcula negativa not seguido
del verbo en infinitivo sin to, ya que al poner el auxiliar en
pasado no hace falta poner el verbo tambin en pasado.
SUJETO + DID + NOT + VERBO EN INFINITIVO
Eg.: I did not / didnt work Yo no trabajaba o trabaj
La interrogativa en pasado tambin se forma con did y el
infinitivo del verbo principal, pero, como en todas las
interrogativas, invirtiendo el orden.
DID + SUJETO + VERBO EN INFINITIVO ?
Eg.: Did you work? Trabajabas o trabajaste t?

usted no quiso, usted no

Para responder se suele utilizar la forma corta para evitar
repetirlo todo. Esta forma corta consiste en contestar con el
sujeto seguido de la partcula que se usa en el pasado, es decir,
did en afirmativa o negativa, segn convenga. Esta forma es
ms usual en lenguaje oral y coloquial.
Eg.: Did you go to the party?
Yes, I did. No, I didnt.
Hasta ahora hemos visto el pasado de los verbos regulares, pero
en ingls hay tambin verbos irregulares que para formar el
pasado no aaden ed al infinitivo, sino que tienen formas
diferentes. Estos verbos no tienen ninguna regla a la hora de
formar el pasado; simplemente hay que aprenderlas, aunque con
el uso tambin se pueden ir adquiriendo de un modo ms fcil.
Pasado simple: Verbos irregulares
A continuacin damos una serie de verbos irregulares con su
pasado. Debemos recordar que slo se usa la forma en pasado
del verbo para la afirmativa; por lo tanto, en las negativas e
interrogativas la estructura seguir siendo la misma. En pasado
todas las personas son iguales.
