AUXILIARES PARA TIEMPO PASADO

Si me estás siguiendo en este curso, podrás comprender con mayor precisión lo que ahora expongo. Antes de explicar cómo se escriben oraciones afirmativas, negativas e interrogativas en tiempo pasado, es menester explicar que en Tiempo Pasado, también se debe acudir a un AUXILIAR para formar oraciones negativas, interrogativas y respuestas cortas.

Ese auxiliar es: DID, pero con una pequeña particularidad. Funciona sin distinción para todos los pronombres personales (en cambio para el tiempo presente los auxiliares, como vimos en anteriores lecciones, funcionan  de diferente forma)

Empecemos:

Consideración

Deberás prestar atención en los ejercicios de oraciones negativas e interrogativas, porque, ante la presencia del auxiliar DID, el verbo vuelve al tiempo presente.(o infinitivo), es decir que toda vez que utilices oraciones negativas e interrogativas, deberás usar el auxiliar DID y al hacerlo convertir los verbos que estaban en pasado, al tiempo presente
