Lesson: Essentials/34

Grammar

Hoje começaremos a aprender alguns verbos irregulares no passado. Nas tabelas desta lição em diante você verá os verbos distribuídos em três colunas: base form, simple past e past participle.

Base form: é como o verbo fica quando não está conjugado. Simple past: verbo conjugado no simple past. Past participle: particípio dos verbos (não entraremos neste assunto por hora, mas é bom já aprender a forma).

base form	simple past	past participle
be	was / were	been
become	became	become
begin	began	begun
bite	bit	bitten
break	broke	broken

O verbo to be é peculiar pois varia de acordo com a pessoa que conjuga o verbo.

Então temos:

I was

You were

He was

She was

It was

We were

You were

They were

Vejamos agora alguns exemplos:

• I was at the mall last night.
  • Eu estava no shopping ontem à noite.
• She became a famous painter in New York.
  • Ela tornou-se uma pintora famosa em Nova Iorque.
• They began building the house in the summer.
