Verbos regulares e irregulares en pasado simple

El pasado simple es un tiempo verbal que se utiliza para hablar de acciones o eventos que comenzaron y terminaron en el pasado. En inglés, los verbos regulares en pasado simple se forman agregando "-ed" a la forma infinitiva del verbo, mientras que los verbos irregulares siguen un patrón específico o se mantienen inalterados.

Verbos regulares en pasado simple

Los verbos regulares en pasado simple se forman de la siguiente manera:

Verbos que terminan en "-e": Se cambia a "-ed" (e.g., start → started, finish → finished).
Verbos que terminan en una vocalista y un consonante: Se doubla la consonanta antes de agregar "-ed" (e.g., stop → stopped, plan → planned).
Verbos que terminan en una consonanta y "-y": Se elimina la "y" y se agrega "-ied" (e.g., try → tried, carry → carried).

Por ejemplo, la lista de verbos regulares en pasado simple en inglés incluye:

To be: was (I/he/she) were (you/we/they).
To go: went.
To do: did.
To have: had.
To get: got.
To eat: ate.
