Simple Past
El pasado simple es utilizado cuando se habla de una acción concreta, que ha comenzado y acabado en el pasado inmediato o de corta data (yesterday, last night, this morning, etc), este tiempo verbal suele equivaler al pretérito indefinido español.
Se usa frecuentemente con adverbios de tiempo tales como: last year, yesterday, last night, entre otros.
En este tiempo verbal para construirlo es necesario añadirle ed a talk (talked), por ser un verbo regular y se usa para todos los pronombres personales.
- I talked
- You talked
- He/she/ talked
- We talked
- You talked
- They talked
Past Perfect
El Past Perfect (pasado perfecto) se forma añadiendo had + participio pasado del verbo talk (en este caso); ejemplo: I had asked.
En este tiempo verbal se hace referencia a situaciones, acciones o estados que comenzaron en el pasado y que son anteriores a otra situación, acción o estado que también es pasada.
El orden de la forma negativa en una oración es la siguiente:
Sujeto + verbo auxiliar had + not y Past Participle del verbo. También puede usarse en lugar del auxiliar had y el término not, la contracción hadn’t en las frases negativas, por ejemplo: She hadn’t visited.
Un ejemplo:
I hadn`t asked
Para la forma interrogativa se usa el verbo auxiliar had , quedando estructurada de la siguiente manera:
Had + sujeto + Past Participle del verbo en este caso talk.
Un ejemplo:
Had you decided?
En la forma afirmativa se estructura igual: yes con el verbo had y el participio pasado del verbo en este caso talk.
Por ejemplo:
Yes, I had asked.
Past Continuous
Para formar el pasado continuo en inglés se utiliza el verbo auxiliar “To Be” y el verbo en este caso talk + ing.
El verbo auxiliar “To Be” si está en el pasado se utiliza: was/were, según el pronombre personal con el que se está trabajando.
Ejemplo:
I was talking with my friend Laura
We were talking in the academy
Past Perfect Continuous
El past perfect continuous, es el tiempo verbal del pasado que señala que una acción o situación se estaba realizando hasta que otra acción ocurrió.
Se forma conjugando los verbos auxiliares “had” y “been” con el verbo principal que va acompañado del gerundio “ing”.
