" broke the #indo#! $o romp la ventana! %qu& vemos su conju'aci(n que en el espa)ol equivale al Pretrito Indefinido! *bserva que la estructura de la oraci(n es similar a la del Presente Simple

Tanto en la forma interro'ativa como en ne'ativa se utiliza como auxiliarDID que es la forma pasada del verbo +TO DO+ y acompa)a al verbo principal en su forma infinitiva! En las ne'aciones puede utilizarse la forma contra&da de DID NOT o sea DIDN'T! En el cuadro superior se emplea el verbo To Play (,u'ar) a modo de ejemplo! %l e-presar una oraci(n en Pasado Simple se entiende que la acci(n no 'uarda relaci(n con el presente, como vemos en los si'uientes casos

.e lost the /eys! 0l perdi las llaves! (Puede que en el presente las a!a encontrado)! She lent me a boo/! Ella me prest un libro! (Puede que !a se lo a!a de"uelto)!

Ellos vieron la pel&cula anoc e! 2e #ent to 3ondon !esterda!! 4osotros fuimos a 3ondres a!er! Para poder formar una oraci(n en tiempo pasado debemos distin'uir dostipos 5E67*S 6E893%6ES y 5E67*S "66E893%6ES! En el primero de los casos forman su Pasado Simple a)adiendo la terminaci(n $D al infinitivo, mientras que los irre#ulares reciben ese nombre por no se'uir un patr(n determinado y en este caso deben estudiarse individualmente!
