Observações (Simple Past)

1. Verbos que terminam em y precedidos de consoante mudam para –ied: Cry -> cried
2. Verbos que terminam em y precedidos de consoante apenas recebem o ed: play -> played
3. O verbo to be, por ser anômalo, não segue o mesmo modelo de conjugação dos outros verbos no passado. Lembre-se de que as interrogativas são formadas mediante inversão sujeito-verbo e as negativas com o acréscimo de not. Tem no passado a seguinte conjugação:

was

You were

He was

She was

It was

We were

You were

They were

4. As contractions do verbo to be na negativa são wasn’t e weren’t.

Simple Present (Observações)

1. Verbos terminados em s/sh/ch/x/z/o levam –es na 3^a pessoa do singular: He passes; she goes; it itches.
2. Verbos terminados em y precedidos de consoante mudam para -ies nas 3^as pessoas do singular: reply=replies

3. O verbo to be (ser, estar), por ser um verbo anômalo, tem uma conjugação totalmente especial.

Simple Present

Descreve um fato ou estado permanente, ou uma ação que acontece com freqüência no presente. A forma básica do presente dos verbos principais na afirmativa é a mesma do infinitivo (aquela forma que você encontra no dicionário) sem o to (to smoke ® smoke) com exceção das 3^as pessoas do singular (he/she/it) que levam um “s”:

I get up at 7 everyday.

She gets up at 7 everyday.

Nas frases negativas do presente usa-se do not = don’t, para I, You, We, They e does not = doesn’t, para He, She, It. O verbo principal seguido do auxiliar sempre fica no infinitivo sem o to:

I don’t like coffee.

She doesn’t like coffee.

Mary and John don’t eat meat. They’re vegetarian.

As frases interrogativas são formadas colocando-se do ou does no início das perguntas sendo precedidos apenas por pronomes interrogativos. O verbo principal sempre fica no infinitivo sem o to. Nas respostas curtas, do-don’t, does-doesn’t substituem o verbo principal:

Do you like hamburguers?

Does it often rain in Bahamas?

What time do you usually go to work?

Where do you go to school?

Do you speak English? Yes, I do.

Does she enjoy parties? Yes, she does.

Does he take the 10:00 am train? No, he doesn’t.
