STRUCTURE
1. Affirmative Sentences
Sujeto + verbo principal...
She was a doctor. (Ella era doctora.)
The keys were in the drawer. (Las llaves estaban en el cajn.)
I wanted to dance. (Quera bailar.)
He learned English. (Aprendi ingls.)
They believed him. (Le cremos.)
2. Negative Sentences (Frases negativas)
To be:
Sujeto + "to be" + "not"...
She wasn't a doctor. (Ella no era doctora.)
The keys weren't in the drawer. (Las llaves no estaban en el
cajn.)
Nota: El verbo "to have got", que en el presente simple sigue las
mismas reglas que el verbo "to be", no puede ser utilizado en el
pasado. Para indicar la posesin en el pasado, usamos el verbo "to
have".
Todos los dems verbos:
Sujeto + verbo auxiliar ("to do") + "not" + verbo principal...

I didn't want to dance. (No quera bailar.)
He didn't learn English. (No aprendi ingls)
They didn't believe him. (No le cremos.)
Nota: En frases negativas, el verbo auxiliar va en pasado ("did") y el
verbo principal se queda en el infinitivo.
3. Interrogative Sentences (Frases interrogativas)
To be:
"To be" + sujeto...?

Was she a doctor? (Ella era doctora?)
Were the keys in the drawer? (Estaban las llaves en el cajn?)
Todos los verbos dems:
Verbo auxiliar ("to do") + sujeto + verbo principal...?
Did you want to dance? (Queras bailar?)
Did he learn English? (Aprendi ingls?)
Did they believe him? (Le creste?)
Nota: Al igual que en las frases negativas, el verbo auxiliar va en
pasado ("did") y el verbo principal se queda en el infinitivo.
USES (USOS)
1. El pasado simple se utiliza para hablar de una accin
concreta que comenz y acab en el pasado. En este caso
equivale al pretrito indefinido espaol. Generalmente, lo
usamos con adverbios de tiempo como "last year",
"yesterday", "last night"...
Tom stayed at home last night. (Tom se qued en casa
anoche.)
Kate worked last Saturday. (Kate trabaj el sbado
pasado.)
I didn't go to the party yesterday. (No fui a la fiesta ayer.)
Did they walk to school this morning? (Han andado a la
escuela esta maana?)
2. Se usa el pasado simple para una serie de acciones en el
pasado.
I received the good news and immediately called my
husband. (Recib la buena noticia y llam de inmediato a
mi marido.)
He studied for an hour in the morning, worked all
afternoon and didn't return home until 10 at night.
(Estudi durante una hora por la maana, trabaj toda la
tarde y no regres a casa hasta las 10 de la noche.)
3. Tambin lo usamos para acciones repetidas o habituales

en el pasado, como se usa el pretrito imperfecto espaol.
We always traveled to Cancun for vacation when we were young.
(Siempre viajbamos a Cancun durante las vacaciones cuando
ramos jvenes.)
He walked 5 kilometers every day to work. (Caminaba 5 kilmetros
hasta el trabajo cada da.)
4. Lo usamos para narraciones o acciones de perodos de
largo tiempo en el pasado, como el pretrito imperfecto
espaol.
I worked for many years in a museum. (Trabajaba en un museo
durante muchos aos.)
She didn't eat meat for 6 years. (No coma carne durante 6 aos.)
5. Se utiliza para hablar de generalidades o hechos del
pasado.
The Aztec lived in Mexico. (Los aztecas vivan en Mxico)
I played the guitar when I was a child. (Tocaba la guitarra cuando era
nio.)
USED TO (SOLER - ESTAR ACOSTUMBRADO A). USED TO =

SOLA
El verbo "use" significa "usar" o "utilizar". Sin embargo, cuando

utilizamos este verbo en el pasado simple, ms la preposicin "to",
como verbo modal, el significado cambia.
To used to (Soler)
El verbo "used to" se emplea para indicar algo que ocurra o
sucedera en el pasado de manera habitual. Tambin, se utiliza para
algo que antes era verdad pero ya no lo es. Como con los otros verbos
modales, "used to" est seguido por la forma base del verbo (el
infinitivo sin "to").
STRUCTURE
1. Affirmative Sentences (Frases afirmativas)
Estructura Sujeto + "used to" + verbo...
We used to go to the beach every summer when I was
young. (Cuando era joven solamos ir a la playa cada
verano.)
He used to smoke a pack of cigarettes a day, but he quit
last year. (Sola fumar un paquete de cigarrillos al da,
pero lo dej el ao pasado.)
Estructura Sujeto + "didn't" + "use to" + verbo...
I didn't use to like mushrooms, but now I do. (No me

solan gustar las setas, pero ahora si.)
Food didn't use to be so expensive. (La comida no sola
ser tan cara.)
2. Interrogative Sentences (Frases interogativas)
Estructura "Did" + sujeto + "use to" + verbo...?
Didn't he use to smoke a lot? (l sola fumar mucho, no?)
Did you use to live here? (Vivas aqu antes?)
Nota: No utilizamos "used to" para acciones habituales en el
presente. En vez de este verbo modal, se usa un adverbio como
"usually" o"normally" por ejemplo.
We usually go to the beach every summer. (Solemos ir a la
playa cada verano.)
He normally smokes a pack of cigarettes every day.
(Normalmente l fuma un paquete de cigarrillos cada da.)
