Quizá ya sabes un poco sobre cómo usar el pasado simple…
Los verbos regulares, por supuesto, terminan en -ed. Ahí lo más difícil es la pronunciación del pasado, pero no te preocupes – lo explico en otro artículo: pronunciación de verbos regulares.
Las negaciones del pasado simple se forman, como siempre, con el auxiliar didn’t + el infinitivo.
Y los irregulares hay que aprenderlos de memoria. Al final, no hay tantos (la lista que ofrezco gratis incluye todos los verbos irregulares importantes) y se pueden memorizar sin mucha dificultad.
Si quieres repasar los verbos irregulares antes de empezar, aquí está la lista: Verbos irregulares en inglés (pdf)
Lo más irregular es el verbo to be, que tiene 2 formas en pasado: was y were. Más aquí: todo sobre el verbo to be.
El texto de hoy habla de una pareja feliz que está viviendo en Londres. ¿Por qué no?
¡Londres es una ciudad maravillosa!
Adelante, pues, que aquí tenemos el texto en inglés…
El texto en pasado simple en inglés
Sally left home when she was 18.
She didn’t want to go to university, so she went to work in a book shop in London.
One day, a customer came to the store. His name was Bill, and he was tall and handsome. He liked Sally, and asked her out.
They went out to dinner and had a nice time. Bill told Sally that he worked in a bank in the financial district.
Sally liked Bill, too. After dinner, they kissed in front of her door. She smiled and said that she hoped she would see him again.
Nobody is sure how it happened, but Sally and Bill fell hopelessly in love, and ended up getting married.
They moved into a small flat together, and paid incredibly high rent prices for a few years, until Sally announced that she was pregnant.
Bill asked for a loan from the bank so they could buy a nicer flat in a friendlier neighborhood outside London. Sally quit her job, and a few months later she had her baby. They named the baby Andrea.
For a while, they were very happy…
