Past Simple (Passado Simples)

O Simple Past , também chamado de Past Simple (passado simples), é um dos tempos verbais do inglês. Ele é
equivalente ao passado simples na língua portuguesa.

O Simple Past é usado para indicar ações passadas já concluídas, ou seja, para falar de fatos que já aconteceram;
que começaram e terminaram no passado.

Os exemplos mais usuais são: yesterday (ontem), the day before yesterday (anteontem), last night (ontem à noite),
last year (ano passado), last month (mês passado), last week (semana passada), ago (atrás), etc.

Negative Form (Forma Negativa)

Para a construção de frases negativas no Simple Past, o verbo did é empregado como verbo auxiliar.
O verbo principal não é conjugado no passado, uma vez que o auxiliar já indica o tempo verbal.
Sua estrutura frasal é feita da seguinte forma:
Sujeito + did + not + verbo principal + complemento
Exemplo: She did not like the Science teacher. (Ela não gostou da professora de Ciências.)
Obs.: a forma contraída de did not é didn’t.

Interrogative Form (Forma Interrogativa)

Da mesma maneira que acontece na forma negativa, o did é o verbo auxiliar utilizado para as frases interrogativas no
Simple Past .
Veja a estrutura abaixo:
Did + sujeito + verbo principal + complemento
Exemplo: Did she like the Science teacher? (Ela gostou da professora de Ciências?)
Obs.: somente o verbo auxiliar (did) é conjugado no Simple Past. Não é necessário conjugar o verbo principal.
