Quick Review — Pasado Simple Afirmativo
Recordatorio rápido de verbos regulares e irregulares antes de estudiar negativas.
Regulares (+ed)
worked, played, studied, visited, cleaned
Irregulares (Cambio de raíz)
went, saw, ate, bought, wrote, had, took
Regla clave de hoy: En afirmativo el verbo cambia en pasado, pero en negativas y preguntas el verbo vuelve a su forma base.
The Magic Word: DID
For negatives and questions in the past, we use DID or Didn't.
After did/didn't, always use the base verb (go, eat, play NOT went, ate, played)!
I didn't go to school.
I didn't went to school.
Oraciones Negativas — Sujeto + Didn't + Verbo Base
Estructura para decir que una acción NO ocurrió en el pasado.
Afirmativa
I went to London yesterday. / She worked late.
Negativa con DIDN'T
I didn't go to London. / She didn't work late.
Error habitual: NUNCA digas "I didn't went" ni "I didn't worked". El verbo tras didn't debe ir en su forma base (go, work, eat).
Question Sentences
Did + subject + BASE VERB...?
| Question | Short Answer |
|---|---|
| Did you eat lunch? | Yes, I did. / No, I didn't. |
| Did she go home? | Yes, she did. / No, she didn't. |
| Did they play soccer? | Yes, they did. / No, they didn't. |
Always Use the BASE VERB!
Did you went to the park?
Did you go to the park?
She didn't ate pizza.
She didn't eat pizza.
After did/didn't go, eat, play, see, do, have (NOT went, ate, played...)

Spot the Mistake! — Doble Pasado
Encuentra el verbo mal puesto en pasado tras el auxiliar didn't.
She
didn't
went
to
the
meeting
yesterday
¡Correcto! Como el auxiliar didn't ya indica pasado, el verbo principal debe ir en su forma base: didn't go (no didn't went).
Regla de oro: Nunca dupliques la marca de pasado: Didn't / Did + Verbo Infinitivo.
