Verbos Irregulares en Inglés

Los verbos irregulares en inglés son aquellos cuyo pasado simple y participio
pasado no siguen ninguna regla. Aquí tienes una lista completa de los verbos
irregulares 
 SIMPLE PAST

1.  past simple
El past simple se utiliza para hablar de acciones ya concluidas en el
pasado. Este tiempo verbal equivale al pretérito indefinido en 
español: yo canté, tú cantaste, él cantó, etc.

Last week we travelled to Canada.

La semana pasada  viajamos  a Canadá.

Last year we dressed up as pineapples.

El año pasado nos  disfrazamos  de piñas.

2. El pasado en los verbos regulares e irregulares

En inglés, existen dos tipos de verbos: los regulares y los irregulares. Para poder
construir el pasado simple correctamente debemos saber si el verbo principal es
regular o irregular.
La mayoría de los verbos son regulares y forman el pasado añadiendo la
partícula -ed al final del verbo. Aun así, sufren una serie de cambios
ortográficos:

Sin embargo, hay una serie de verbos que no siguen esta forma. Son los
denominados verbos irregulares. A continuación, tenéis una lista con los más
comunes.

2. Estructura del past simple

• La forma afirmativa
. La forma negativa

Recuerda que en las oraciones negativas se utiliza el verbo en

infinitivo porque la partícula did ya nos indica que la oración está en pasado. Lo
mismo ocurrirá en las oraciones interrogativas.
.

La forma interrogativa

Did she  work last night? Yes, she did.

(ella) ¿Trabajó ayer por la noche? Sí.

Did they finish the food? No, they didn't.

(ellos) ¿Se acabaron la comida? No.
