*Passat simple - ser o anar*
Els verbs irregulars tenen *tres formes específiques* que cal memoritzar. Mentre que la majoria dels verbs regulars en anglès utilitzen la terminació *-ed* per al passat i els participis, els verbs irregulars *tenen les seves pròpies formes temporals i participis passats.*
Les tres formes són:
1. *Forma base* (el verb que trobes al diccionari)
2. *Forma del passat simple* (la que estàs aprenent en aquest curs)
3. *Forma del participi passat* (aprendrem a utilitzar-la més endavant)
És important i molt més fàcil aprendre les tres formes alhora. Comencem amb les més importants:
"to be"- "was/were"- "been"
"to go"- "went"- "gone"
to be

*Passat - pregunta*
Una pregunta es forma en passat afegint el verb auxiliar "did"(passat de "do") al principi de l'oració. Aquest verb auxiliar assumeix totes les funcions gramaticals, de manera que el verb semàntic ja estarà en present.
"did"+ subjecte + verb (infinitiu sense "TO") + la resta de l'oració*

*Passat - negació*
Quan volem expressar una negació en passat, fem servir la frase "did not"després del subjecte, i el verb semàntic (un verb que mostra una acció o un esdeveniment) es manté en la seva forma bàsica.
*subjecte + "did not"+ verb (infinitiu) + resta de l'oració*
"He did not do it."
