Pasado simple del verbo "To be"

El pasado simple del verbo "To be" (ser o estar) se forma cambiando las
formas "am" e "is"por "was" y la forma "are" por "were".
Por lo dems, para formar la negativa y la interrogativa la forma es la misma que en el presente
simple.
A continuacin veremos las formas afirmativa, negativa en interrogativa del verbo "to be" en
pasado:
Afirmativa:
I was: yo era o yo estaba.
You were: t eras o t estabas.
He was: l era o l estaba.
She was: ella era o ella estaba.
It was: eso era o eso estaba.
We were: nosotros eramos o nosotros estbamos.
You were: vosotros erais o vosotros estabais.
They were: ellos eran o ellos estaban.
Negativa:
I was not: yo no era o yo no estaba.
You were not: t no eras o t no estabas.
He was not: l no era o l no estaba.
She was not: ella no era o ella no estaba.
It was not: eso no era o eso no estaba.
We were not: nosotros no eramos o nosotros no estbamos.
You were not: vosotros no erais o vosotros no estabais.
They were not: ellos no eran o ellos no estaban.
Interrogativa:
Was I?: era yo? o estaba yo?
Were you?: eras t? o estabas t?
Was he?: era l? o estaba l?
Was she?: era ella? o estaba ella?
Was it?: era eso? o estaba eso?
Were we?: eramos nosotros? o estabamos nosotros?
Were you?: erais vosotros? o estabais vosotros?
Were they?: eran ellos? o estaban ellos?
Ejemplos:
He was my friend when I was twelve years old l era mi amigo cuando yo tena doce aos.
I wasn't at school at half-past eleven Yo no estaba en el colegio a las once y media.
Were they at home yesterday? Estaban ellos ayer en casa? (no confundir "where (donde)"
con were).
Para terminar, decir que las formas negativas contradas son:
was not wasn't
were not weren't

Los verbos no auxiliares (pasado simple)

El pasado simple de los verbos no auxiliares se forma exactamente igual que el presente
simple, es decir, necesitamos el verbo auxiliar "do", en este caso su pasado "did" para formar
frases negativas (did not didn't) e interrogativas.
Al igual que en el presente simple, la forma afirmativa no necesita el verbo auxiliar "do", por lo
tanto es el verbo principal el que va en pasado ya sea regular (want wanted) o irregular (buy
bought).
A continuacin una breve explicacin:
Afirmativa:
Se pone en pasado el verbo principal:
-My sister bought a dress yesterday (Mi hermana compr un vestido ayer).
-Last weekend we walked the dog (El fin de semana pasado nosotros paseamos al perro).
Negativa:
Como ya se ha dicho,se pone en pasado y en negativa el verbo auxiliar (did notdidn't) y el
verbo principal por tanto (como ya va en pasado el auxiliar), va en presente:
-My sister (1) didn't buy a dress yesterday (Mi hermana no compr un vestido ayer).
-Last weekend we didn't walk the dog (El fin de semana pasado nosotros no paseamos al
perro).
(1)

fijaros que "My sister" es lo mismo que "She", es decir 3 persona del singular y an as la
forma "did" no cambia como en el presente simple (do does). Tampoco cambiar en la
interrogativa.
Interrogativa:
Al igual que en el presente simple, sera como escribir la frase en afirmativa pero poniendo
delante el verbo auxiliar, en este caso en pasado ("did") y el verbo principal en presente:
-Did my sister buy a dress yesterday? (Compr mi hermana un vestido ayer?)
-Did we walk the dog last weekend? (Paseamos nosotros al perro el pasado fin de semana?)
