Two sisters and the cat

Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Smith are sisters. Mrs. Wilson lives in a house in Duncan and Mrs. Smith lives in a condominium in Victoria. One day Mrs. Wilson visited her sister. When her sister answered the door, Mrs. Wilson saw tears in her eyes. "What's the matter?" she asked. Mrs. Smith said "My cat Sammy died last night and I have no place to bury him".

She began to cry again. Mrs. Wilson was very sad because she knew her sister loved the cat very much. Suddenly Mrs. Wilson said "I can bury your cat in my garden in Duncan and you can come and visit him sometimes." Mrs. Smith stopped crying and the two sisters had tea together and a nice visit.

It was now five o'clock and Mrs. Wilson said it was time for her to go home. She put on her hat, coat and gloves and Mrs. Smith put the dead Sammy into a shopping bag. Mrs. Wilson took the shopping bag and walked to the bus stop. She waited a long time for the bus so she bought a newspaper. When the bus arrived, she got on the bus, sat down and put the shopping bag on the floor beside her feet. She then began to read the newspaper. When the bus arrived at her bus stop, she got off the bus and walked for about two minutes. Suddenly she remembered she had left the shopping bag on the bus.

Simple Past. Explanation.

SIMPLE PAST.

To talk about what happened yesterday, last week, last year, etc, we use simple past.Simple past is a verb tense to refer to something that already happened in the past, and has already finished.

Look at chart: 

En el pasado simple se utilizan verbos regulares, y verbos irregulares.El cuadro anterior da la explicación  utilizando un verbo regular:  "play"

El pasado de los verbos regulares generalmente se hace añadiendo las letras ED, al final del verbo.

ejemplo:

          present      ⟹        past

work          ⇒         worked

          play           ⇨          played

         Cuando el verbo termina en Y y antes hay una CONSONANTE, la Y cambia por I y se agrega               ED.
         EJEMPLO: 

          present      ⟹        past

          cry             ⟹        cried
          study         ⟹        studied
               

 Los verbos irregulares no siguen reglas para formar el pasado, estos debemos aprenderlos:

          Ejemplo:
           present      ⟹        past
       
           Run            ⟹        Ran
           Begin         ⟹        Began

NOTA: Los verbos se deben escribir en pasado cuando las oraciones son afirmativas, en forma negativa o interrogativa, se escriben en presente, como lo indica el cuadro anterior.
