Fortunadamente, se usa la misma palabra en el pasado para todas personas (I, you, you all, he, she, it, they, we). Por ejemplo: él construyó es “He built” y yo construí es “I built”. Se usa el mismo verbo para los dos.

Los verbos pasados regulares son más faciles. Solo se necesita añadir “ed” al final de la palabra para hacer el pasado. Por ejemplo: yo camino es “I walk” y yo caminé es “I walked”. Facil!

Ejemplos:

He drew a picture for me. (Él dibujó un dibujo para mi.)

I drove my car. (Yo manejé mi carro.)

We lost our dog. (Nosotros perdimos nuestro perro.)

She wrote me a letter. (Ella me escribió una carta.)

You bought many things yesterday. (Tú compraste muchas cosas ayer.)

They felt sad when they said goodbye. (Ellos se sintieron tristes cuando se despidieron.)

He brought her flowers. (Él le trajo una flores a ella.)
