Verbo TO BE: "Was She at Home? - No, She Wasn't" "Were You at The Cinema? Yes, We Were"

The document discusses the simple past tense in Spanish. It explains that the verb "to be" is conjugated differently than other verbs. For the verb "to be" in the affirmative past tense, the endings are "was" and "were", while other verbs take the ending "ed" or "ied" if the verb ends in a consonant plus "y". The negative form adds "not" and the interrogative form inverts the subject and verb. Regular verbs follow the patterns of adding "ed" or "ied" in the affirmative, "did not/didn't" in the negative, and "did" in front of the verb in interrogative forms.

PASADO SIMPLE

Verbo TO BE
Como pasa con el presente simple que el verbo to be tiene su propia conjugación (usando am,
is, are) y el resto de los verbos tienen otra conjugación (usando do, does, y el verbo con s),
sucede lo mismo con el pasado. Vamos a armar el pasado de una forma con el TO BE
(cuando nos referimos a ser o estar) y de otra forma con el resto de los verbos.

TO BE en pasado, forma afirmativa


I WAS “I was at home” (yo estaba en casa)
You WERE “you were a nice person” (vos eras una buena persona”
He WAS
She WAS “she was a teacher” (ella era una profesora)
It WAS
We WERE “we were at the cinema” (estábamos en el cine)
You WERE
They WERE

En la forma el pasado no temenos tres opciones como en el presente (am, is, are), sino
solamente dos (was o were).

TO BE en pasado, forma negativa


Para la forma negativa solamente le vamos a agregar “NOT”
I WAS NOT/ o puedo decir WASN’T para acortarlo “I wasn’t at home” (yo no estaba en
casa)
You WERE NOT/WEREN’T “you weren’t a nice person” (vos no eras una buena persona”
He WAS NOT/WASN’T
She WAS NOT/WASN’T “she wasn’t a teacher” (ella no era una profesora)
It WAS NOT/WASN’T
We WERE NOT/WEREN’T “we weren’t at the cinema” (no estábamos en el cine)
You WERE/WEREN’T
They WERE/WEREN’T

TO BE en pasado, forma interrogativa


Para hacer preguntas, invertimos el orden.
WAS I “Was I at home?” (estaba en casa?)
WERE YOU
WAS HE
WAS SHE “was she a teacher?” (ella era una profesora?)
WAS IT “was it cold yesterday?” (estaba frío ayer?)
WERE WE
WERE YOU
WERE THEY “were they at the cinema?” (ellos estaban en el cine?)

Y para responder a estas preguntas decimos:


YES, (I/he/she/it) WAS
YES, (You, we, they) WERE
NO, (I/he/she/it) WASN’T
NO, (you, we, they) WEREN’T
“Was she at home? – No, she wasn’t”
“Were you at the cinema? Yes, we were”
EL RESTO DE LOS VERBOS
El resto de los verbos se dividen en REGULARES e IRREGULARES.
Ahora vamos a ver los regulares, que son los más comunes (casi todos los verbos son
regulares). Los irregulares (que son unos muy específicos los vamos a ver la clase que viene).

Forma afirmativa
Para hacer una oración en pasado con cualquier verbo seguimos esta estructura:

SUJETO + VERBO + ED + COMPLEMENTO

I played football (yo jugué al futbol)


She learned French (ella aprendió francés)
We painted the wall (nosotros pintamos la pared)

Acá no hay diferencia con he, she it. TODOS llevan solamente el ED al final.
Cuando el verbo termina con consonante + y, se saca la Y y se pone IED.
Por ejemplo: Study -> Studied

Forma negativa
Para hacer una oración en pasado en negativo agregamos DID NOT o DIDN’T
SUJETO + DID NOT / DIDN’T + VERBO COMÚN

I didn’t play football (yo no jugué al futbol)


She didn’t learn French (ella no aprendió francés)
We didn’t paint the wall (nosotros no pintamos la pared)

El DID ya indica que es pasado, y se lleva la ED. Entonces, el verbo queda COMÚN, no se le
agrega ed ni nada. Y es igual para todos los pronombres.

Forma interrogativa
Para hacer una pregunta en pasado, agregamos DID de nuevo y lo ponemos primero
DID + SUJETO + VERBO COMÚN

Did you play football? (jugaste al fútbol?)


Did she learn French? (ella aprendió francés?)
Did we paint the wall? (pintamos nosotros la pared?)

Acá de nuevo, el DID ya indica que es pasado y no necesitamos agregar ED. El verbo queda
común.

Y para responder a estas preguntas decimos:


YES, (I/you/he/she/it/we/you/they) DID
NO, (I/you/he/she/it/we/you/they) DIDN’T

“Did she study? Yes, she did”


“Did they play football? No, they didn’t”
