Simple Past (regular and irregular verbs):

O passado simples é usado para expressar ações acabadas em um tempo

definido. É geralmente empregado com advérbios de tempo: yesterday, ago,
last...etc). O passado simples pode expressar , também, hábitos passados.
Em inglês, há verbos regulares e irregulares.

Verbos regulares: são formados acrescentando “d”, “ed”, “ied” ao verbo.

“d”: se o verbo terminar em “e” devemos acrescentar o “d”. Ex.: move: moved /
like: liked
“ed”: a maioria dos verbos regulares possuem a terminação “ed”. Ex.:
watch:watched / work: worked / start: started

“ied”: se o verbo terminar em “y” e for precedido de uma consoante, devemos

tirar o “y” e colocar “ied”. Ex.:study: studied. Caso o verbo termine em “y” e for
precedido de uma vogal, apenas acrescentaremos “ed”.Ex.: play: played
 Caso o verbo termine em uma sílaba forte formada por consoante, vogal e
consoante (CVC) , dobramos a última consoante e depois colocamos “ed”.
Ex.: stop: stopped / permit: permitted / rob: robbed
