Past Tense of Regular Verbs

Em inglês, a maioria dos Verbos é dividida em Regular e Irregular.

Os regular verbs recebem o acréscimo de -ed ao infinitivo para formar o Past Tense, . não importando qual seja o sujeito da oração.

Infinitive Past Tense

to call called

to look looked

O Past Tense de um verbo inglês corresponde a todas as formas verbais de passado em português.

She called me. (Ela me chamou/chamava/chamara.)

They looked at: me. (Eles olharam/olhavam para mim.)

O Past Tense é usado para descrever uma ação acontecida e encerrada no passado.

Alguns advérbios e locuções adverbiais comuns em orações no Past Tense:

yesterday – ontem the day before yesterday - ante ontem

last week - na semana passada a year ago - um ano atrás

Iast century - no século passado in 2004 - em 2004.

It raíned yesterday. (Choveu ontem.)

We visited a zoo last year. (Nós visitamos um zoológico no ano passado.)

O acréscimo do sufixo -ed ao verbo obedece a algumas regras. Verbos terminados em:

• e - acrescente -d.

to errive - errived

to like – liked

• consoante + y - exclua o y e acrescente -ied.

to try - tried

to worry – worried –

• consoante + vogal tônica + consoante - repita a consoante final e acrescente ed.

to prefer - preferred

to stop – stopped

Alguns verbos que seguem esta regra:

to admit - admitted- admitir

to commit - committed - cometer

to control - controlled – controlar

to permit - permitted - permitir

to plan - planned – planejar

Past Tense: interrogative and negative forms

Para fazermos perguntas no passado, usamos o verbo auxiliar did (passado de do). Em sentenças negativas, usamos did not (didn't). O verbo a ser conjugado retorna à sua forma infinitiva sem to.

Interrogative - Did Paul like the yellow shirt?

Afirmativa - Paul liked the yellow shirt.

Negativa- Paul did not (didn't) like the yellow shirt.

Past Tense of irregular verbs

Os irregular verbs geralmente apresentam formas distintas para o Past Tense e o Past Participle.

Infinitive	Past Tense	Past Participle	Translation
Have	Had	had	Ter
Buy	bought	bought	Comprar
Shut	shut	shut	Fechar

o Past Tense corresponde, em português, às formas pretéritas. Observe:

She had fever. (Ela tinha/teve/tivera febre.)

He bought old books. (Ele comprou/ comprava/ comprara livros velhos.)

o Past Participle pode ser usado em tempos compostos ou como adjetivo. Observe:

They had shut the door. (Eles tinham fechado a porta.) The shop is shut. (A loja está fechada.)

Não há regras para a formação do passado e do particípio passado dos verbos irregulares. Por isso, precisam ser memorizados. Para facilitar a memorização eles podem ser classificados em uniformes, biformes e triformes.

Verbos uniformes

Os verbos uniformes são aqueles que possuem a mesma forma no infinitivo, no passado e no particípio passado.

Verbos biformes

Os verbos biformes geralmente apresentam uma única forma para o passado e o particípio passado. Eles são em maior número do que os verbos uniformes.

Past Tense of Verbs Irregular - Interrogative and negative Forms

Para fazermos perguntas e negações com os verbos irregulares no passado, seguimos as mesmas orientações que aprendemos com os verbos regulares. Usamos

o verbo auxiliar did (passado de do) para iniciar a pergunta e usamos did not (didn't) para negar. O verbo principal retorna à sua forma infinitiva sem to. Observe o exemplo:

Affirmative He took a picture of her.

Negative He didnot (didn't) take a picture of her.

Interrogative Did he take a picture of her?
