VERBOS REGULARES E IRREGULARES

Por la manera en que se conjugan, se pueden distinguir dos clases de verbos:

regulares e irregulares.

Los verbos regulares son los que conservan la misma raíz en todas sus formas y
tienen las desinencias del modelo de su conjugación (saltar, comer, vivir).

Presente Pretérito perfecto simple Futuro

saltar (modelo) salt-o salt-é salt-aré
contestar contest-o contest-é contest-aré

Se consideran regulares los verbos que tienen cambios en su raíz en algunas de

sus formas por motivos únicamente ortográficos:

Presente Pretérito perfecto simple Futuro

cazar caz-o cac-é caz-aré
coger coj-o cog-í cog-eré

Los verbos irregulares son los que no conservan igual la raíz en todas sus
formas, o tienen desinencias distintas del modelo de su conjugación, o ambas
cosas.

Para saber si un verbo es regular o irregular basta observar las siguientes formas:

• Primera persona del singular del presente de indicativo.

• Tercera persona del singular del pretérito perfecto simple.
• Primera persona del singular del futuro de indicativo.

Presente Pretérito perfecto simple Futuro

saltar (modelo) salt-o salt-ó salt-aré
mostrar muestr-o mostr-ó mostr-aré
andar and-o and-uvo and-aré

 TIEMPOS VERBALES-VERB TENSES

Present tenses- Tiempos verbales de presente.

Simple Present tense- Presente simple. Este es un tiempo verbal que se utiliza
para expresar acciones que tienen lugar en el presente y con una frecuencia
determinada, es decir, cada día, cada mañana, etc.

Ej.: John washes the dishes every day. (John lava los platos cada día).

Forma negativa del Simple Present: Sujeto+Do not o don't/does not o doesn't
+verbo de la acción en infinitivo+ Complementos.

Ej.: John does not/doesn't wash the dishes every day.

Forma interrogativa del Simple Present: Do/does+ sujeto+ verbo de la acción en

infinitivo+ Complementos.

Ej.: Does John wash the dishes every day?

Para la negación y la interrogación de las frases con este tiempo verbal,

necesitamos el verbo auxiliar (to) do.

Present Continuous/Progressive tense- Presente Continuo: Es un tiempo

verbal que se utiliza para expresar acciones que tienen lugar en el presente, en el
mismo momento en el que se está enunciando la frase. El Present Continuous se
forma con el presente del verbo (to) be más el verbo de la acción en gerundio
(Infinitivo+-ing).

Ej.: John is washing the dishes right now. (John está lavando los platos ahora
mismo).

Forma negativa del Present Continuous/Progressive: Sujeto+is/are+not+verbo

de la acción en gerundio+ Complementos.

Ej: John is not/isn't washing the dishes right now.

Forma interrogativa del Present Continuous/Progressive: Is/are+ Sujeto+ Verbo

de la acción en gerundio+ Complementos?
Past tenses-Tiempos verbales de pasado.
Simple past tense- Pasado simple: Es un tiempo verbal que se utiliza para
expresar acciones que tuvieron lugar en el pasado, sin que importe excesivamente
el momento del pasado en el que tuvieron lugar.

Ej.: John washed the dishes yesterday evening. (John lavó los platos ayer por la
tarde).

Para construir las formas negativa e interrogativa del Simple Past, necesitamos la
ayuda del verbo auxiliar (to) do, esta vez con su tiempo en pasado, DID.

Forma negativa del Simple Past: Sujeto+ DID not/didn't+ Verbo de la acción en
infinitivo+Complementos.

Ej.: John didn't wash the dishes yesterday evening.

Forma interrogativa del Simple Past: DID+ Sujeto+ verbo de la acción en

infinitivo+ Complementos.

Did John wash the dishes yesterday evening?

En inglés, hay dos tipos de Simple Past o de pasado simple: el regular o el

irregular. Los verbos regulares forman el Simple Past añadiendo el sufijo -ed al
infinitivo y los verbos irregulares forman su Simple Past sin seguir ninguna regla.
En este apartado de la página tienes acceso a la lista completa de todos los
verbos irregulares que hay en inglés.

Un ejemplo de Simple Past regular es el del verbo (to) wash= (lavar), cuyo Simple
Past es washed y un ejemplo de verbo irregular es el de (to) break= (romper) ,
cuyo Simple Past es broke.

Past Continuous/Progressive Tense- Pasado continuo: Es un tiempo verbal en

el que se expresan acciones que tuvieron lugar en el pasado, pero en un momento
concreto. Este tiempo verbal se forma con el pasado del verbo (to) be (was o
were)+ el verbo de la acción en gerundio (infinitivo+-ing).

Ej: John was washing the dishes at eight o'clock last night. (John estaba lavando
los platos a las ocho ayer por la noche).

Forma negativa del Past Continous/Progressive: Sujeto+ Was not o wasn't/were

not o weren't+ Verbo de la acción en gerundio+ Complementos.

Ej.: John was not/wasn't washing the dishes at eight o'clock last night.

Forma interrogativa del Past Continuous/Progressive: Was/were+Sujeto+Verbo

de la acción en gerundio+ Complementos?.

Ej.: Was John washing the dishes at eight o'clock last night?

Present Perfect tense- Pretérito Perfecto: Es un tiempo verbal que se utiliza

para expresar acciones que han tenido lugar en el pasado, pero en un pasado
muy reciente. Este tiempo verbal se forma con el presente del verbo (to) have, has
o have+el participio del verbo de la acción: Regular (Infinitivo+ed) o Irregular
(tercera columna de la lista de verbos irregulares).

Ej.: John has washed the dishes this morning. (John ha lavado los platos esta
mañana).

Forma negativa del Present Perfect Tense: Sujeto+ has not o hasn't /have not o
haven't + Verbo de la acción en participio+ Complementos.
Ej.: John has not/ hasn't washed the dishes this morning.

Forma interrogativa del Present Perfect Tense: Has/Have+ Sujeto+ Verbo de la

acción en participio+ Complementos.

Ej.: Has John washed the dishes this morning?

Past perfect tense-Pretérito pluscuamperfecto: Es un tiempo verbal que

expresa acciones que han tenido lugar en el pasado, pero en un pasado menos
reciente que el que se expresa en el Present Perfect. Es lo que se denomina el
pasado del pasado (past in the past). Se forma con el verbo (to) have en pasado,
had+ el participio del verbo de la acción: Regular (Infinitivo+ed) o Irregular (tercera
columna de la lista de verbos irregulares).

Ej: John had washed the dishes at two in the afternoon. (John había lavado los
platos a las dos de la tarde).

Forma negativa del Past Perfect Tense: Sujeto+ had not/hadn't+ Verbo de la
acción en participio+ Complementos.
Ej.: John had not/hadn't washed the dishes at two in the afternoon.

Forma interrogativa del Past Perfect Tense: Had+ Sujeto+ Verbo de la acción en
participio+ Complementos.
Future tenses- Tiempos verbales de futuro

Simple future- Futuro simple: Es un tiempo verbal que se utiliza para expresar
acciones que tendrán lugar en un futuro, sin importar excesivamente el momento.
Se forma con la partícula will+ el infinitivo del verbo de la acción sin el (to).

Ej.: John will wash the dishes tomorrow. (John lavará los platos mañana).

Forma negativa del Simple Future: Sujeto+ will not/won't+ Verbo de la acción
en infinitivo+ Complementos.

Ej.: John will not/ won't wash the dishes tomorrow.

Forma interrogativa del Simple Future: Will+ Sujeto+ Verbo de la acción en

infinitivo+ Complementos.

Ej.: Will John wash the dishes tomorrow?.

Near future- Futuro próximo: Es un tiempo verbal que se utiliza para expresar
acciones que van a tener lugar en el futuro, pero se trata de un futuro muy cercano
al momento en el que se habla. Se forma con el verbo (to) be en presente (is o
are), seguido de GOING TO+ el infinitivo del verbo de la acción.

Ej.: John is going to wash the dishes tonight. (John va a lavar los platos esta
noche).

Forma negativa del Near Future: Sujeto+ is not o isn't/ are not o aren't+ Going
to+ Verbo de la acción en infinitivo+ Complementos.

Ej.: John is not/isn't going to wash the dishes tonight.

Forma interrogativa del Near Future: Is/are+ Sujeto+ Going to+ Verbo de la
