⏳ 2. Grammar: Past Simple (Regular & Irregular Verbs)

En esta unidad empezamos a hablar del pasado simple, una de las estructuras más importantes en inglés. Nos permite contar cosas que ya ocurrieron.

🔹 Verbos regulares

Los verbos regulares forman el pasado añadiendo -ed:

• play → played

• visit → visited

• talk → talked

🔹 Verbos irregulares

Los verbos irregulares no siguen una regla fija. Aprenderemos algunos de uso frecuente:

• go → went

• have → had

• see → saw

• eat → ate

• feel → felt

---

✔️❌ 3. Affirmative & Negative in Past Simple

🔸 Afirmativa

Sujeto + verbo en pasado

• I visited the doctor yesterday.

• She felt sick last night.

🔸 Negativa

Sujeto + didn’t + verbo en infinitivo

• I didn’t feel well.

• He didn’t go to school.

👉 didn’t ya marca el pasado, por eso el verbo va sin -ed.
