PRONUNCIATION

PAST TENSE
• We use the past tense to talk about things that are
finished.
• For example:
The girl cleaned the room yesterday.
Mr Brown shouted at the girl last night.
• We can use the simple past with time expressions
that refer to the past.
• For example:
yesterday fifty years ago
last night/week....in 1990

GRAMMAR: (+) sujeto+ verbo en pasado+ complemento: (+)The actors WON (win) an Oscar prize.
Los actores ganaron un premio Oscar
(-) sujeto+ did+not (didn´t) + verbo ( en presente)+ complement: (-) The actors didn´t WIN an Oscar prize.
Los actores NO ganaron un premio Oscar
(?) DID+ sujeto + verbo (en presente) +complement+?: (?)Did the actors win an Oscar prize?
¿Ganaron los actores un premio Oscar?
PL: Pregunta Lógica: Wh Qs+ did+sujeto+ verbo (en presente)+? : WHAT did the actors win?
¿Qué ganaron los actores? Un premio Oscar
EXCEPTION: Who WON the prize: ¿Quienes ganaron el premio? La palabra interrogativa WHO (Quien/
Quienes) no utiliza el auxiliar DID por lo que el verbo se debe usar en pasado al hacer la pregunta.
NOTE: Cada vez que utilizo el auxiliar DID los verbos vuelven a su forma presente, ya que el auxiliar
funciona como un marcador de tiempo y me indica que la oración ya está en pasado.
