El
pretérito (pasado) se utiliza para referir acciones o situaciones del pasado.
EL PASADO SIMPLE (Simple Past)
El pasado simple funciona de manera similar al
Presente simple, salvo que empleamos el auxiliar 'did' para todas las
personas (incluida la tercera persona singular 'he/she/it'). En la forma
afirmativa, el auxiliar 'did' no aparece, empleando en su lugar la terminación 'ed'.
Esta es la forma de pasado para todos los 'Verbos
Regulares'
Existe un amplio conjunto de verbos que no
cumplen esta condición, es decir, para la forma afirmativa no emplean la
terminación 'ed' sino que su forma es irregular. No siguen ninguna regla, por lo
que la única manera de conocer su forma de pasado es aprenderla. Se denominan 'Verbos
Irregulares'.

HUMOUR
Pirate story (past continuous / past simple)
An
old pirate was sitting in the bar. He was smoking
a pipe and drinking a glass of rum. He was wearing an eye patch and he
had a parrot on his shoulder and a wooden leg. Instead of his right hand he had
a metal hook. A young sailor was chatting with the pirate and he asked
him about his adventures at sea.
‘So, how did you lose your leg?’, the young man asked the pirate.
‘Arrr! ,’ said the pirate, ‘You see, some sharks were circling the ship
when I fell overboard. Luckily, my men pulled me back onto the ship before the
sharks ate me completely, but one of the sharks got my leg.’
‘And how about the hook on your hand? How did you lose your hand?’
‘I was boarding a ship when another sailor cut off my hand with a sword.’
‘That’s amazing! What a life full of adventures!’ said the young man. ‘And how
about your eye? How did you lose that?’
‘I was eating a grapefruit when the juice went into my eye.’
‘But I don’t understand. How did you lose your eye from the grapefruit juice?’
‘Arrr!’ said the pirate, ‘it was my first day with the new hook.’

3 HOT APPS TO FAST TRACK YOUR ENGLISH
If
you have an iPhone, iPod or iPad, I’m sure you’re using our
iMansionauto level 1 and
iMansionauto level 2(Cursos de inglés en audio) or
inglespodcast apps to improve your English,
and also listening to our podcasts on your mobile phones and tablets direct from
our webpage or via the iOS podcast app or
Stitcher.
In addition to the above, here are 3 more apps you might want to use to improve
your English.
- Duolingo
Duolingo has the reputation of being one of the best apps available for learning
any language, not only English. It won Best App for 2013 for both the Google
Play Store and the Apple IOS AppStore.
Duolingo is like a game. You receive experience points for every correct answer.
You get an in-game currency called Lingots and you use this to get items from
Duolingo's virtual store.
So how does Duolingo improve your English? Well, you learn through repetition,
by speaking English and by having conversations in English.
The lessons are designed to increase in difficulty as you progress and get
better.
Don’t expect intense and complicated grammar explanations on Duolingo because it
only focuses on 10 of the most commonly used verb tenses so that lower-level
students can pick up English more easily.
- Memrise
The clue is in the name. Memrise improves your English by helping you memorize
different words.
The app is free to download and features different learning modules depending on
your level. So you can practise English at a very basic level or more advanced.
It also lets you study English vocabulary through functions such as "250 most
commonly used English words" and "English vocabulary by frequency."
Memrise's lessons typically consist of an English word, its definition in
Spanish and an audio recording of how you pronounce it. You study 15 words per
lesson.
- Lingua.ly
This is another wonderful language learning tool that helps you become familiar
with English vocabulary words while browsing the Web.
Linugua.ly helps you improve your English by "digital immersion." All levels are
available, from beginner to advanced language learners.
How does this one work? You import word lists that reflect your hobbies and
interests and the app finds real articles from the web and puts them into your
feed.
It only searches for material that interests you, so you are never bored by
reading stuff you don’t care about (like in typical English textbooks, for
example!)
You create flashcards with the words that are highlighted and there’s an audio
pronunciation feature that you can turn on or off.
There’s also a pronunciation guide, and an example of the online text that puts
everything into context.
By double clicking on other words in the articles you can select them to widen
your vocabulary. There is a Spanish-English dictionary and the app works via the
Chrome extension or on any mobile device.
