Past tense

Regular verbs (-ed).

Other verbs + aux.
 General review
⚫Take a look at the verbs list, the groups,
conjugations and start learning them.
⚫1: Verbos en presente:(lo que ya vimos).
⚫2. Verbos en pasado (la que necesita en
este momento).
⚫3. Verbos en p. participle (esta no se
necesita aún, pero si más adelante).
⚫4. Meaning: (significado de los verbos en
Español).
⚫Es importante mencionar que los verbos en pasado
se dividen en dos grandes grupos:

Verbos regulares e irregulares.

⚫A: Verbos regulares: Reciben este nombre porque
tienen una terminación común o “regular”. Es decir,
que terminan en –ed. (la primera tabla de la lista
de verbos).

⚫For instance: work, walk, close, watch, wash, talk,

study, look, enter, arrive etc.
⚫B: Verbos irregulares: Reciben este nombre
porque NO tienen una terminación común. Se
clasifican en tres grupos, en la lista de verbos
adjunta podrán observar mejor esos
grupos.

⚫Primer grupo todas las columnas (presente,

pasado y p. participle) se pronuncian y se
escriben igual.
⚫Segundo grupo: la primera columna
(presente) se escribe de manera diferente. La
segunda y la tercera (pasado y p. participle) son
iguales.
⚫Tercer grupo: todas las columnas son
diferentes.

⚫De modo que con los verbos irregulares hay

que tener un poco más de paciencia,
recomiendo practicar mucho para poder
memorizarlos.
