REGULAR VERBS

PREFACE

A continuación se ofrece el modelo de conjugación para los verbos regulares de

los tiempos verbales que se ven en el libro. El presente anexo aparece dividido en
dos partes principales: la conjugación activa (active voice) y la conjugación pasiva
(passive voice). A su vez cada parte cuenta con tres bloques:

En el primer bloque están recogidas las formas afirmativas (affirmative form),

negativas (negative form) e interrogativas (question form*) de los siguientes
tiempos verbales:

el presente simple de indicativo (simple present)

el pretérito perfecto de indicativo (present perfect)

el presente continuo de indicativo (present continuous)

el pretérito imperfecto y el pretérito indefinido de indicativo (simple past)

REGULAR
VERBS
el pasado continuo de indicativo (past continuous)

el futuro simple de indicativo (future)

el futuro próximo de indicativo (future with “going to” [present])

el pasado próximo de indicativo (future with “going to” [past])

y el condicional simple de indicativo (conditional)

En el segundo bloque se recogen las formas afirmativas y negativas del

imperativo (imperative).

Por último, en el tercer bloque se presentan las formas conocidas en español

como “no personales del verbo”, a saber, el infinitivo (infinitive), el participio pasado
(past participle) y el gerundio (gerund).

* Cabe señalar que por defecto se ofrece la forma interrogativa para la segunda persona del singular
(“you”, ‘tú’, ‘usted’) y del plural (“you”, ‘nosotros/ as’, ‘ustedes’) ya que esta forma suele coincidir con
el resto de las formas verbales para el mismo tiempo a excepción, claro está, del pronombre personal
que sirve como sujeto (“you”, “we”, “they”, etc.). En el caso de que dicha forma verbal sea diferente
para otra persona (como suele ocurrir con la primera y tercera del singular [“I”, ‘yo’; “he/ she/ it”, ‘él/
ella/ *ello’]) dicha forma también aparece recogida.
