Tiempos Verbales Básicos en Inglés

El Present Simple se usa para hablar de rutinas y cosas que suceden habitualmente. Lo reconocerás por palabras como "sometimes", "usually" o "every week". Su estructura es sujeto + verbo $añade "-s" en tercera persona$ . Por ejemplo: "You live in Madrid" o "She lives in Madrid". Para la negativa usamos "don't/doesn't": "You don't live here". Y para preguntas: "Do you live here?" o "Does she live here?".

El Present Continuous expresa acciones que están ocurriendo en este momento. Se identifica con expresiones como "now", "at the moment" o "right now". Su estructura es sujeto + verbo "to be" + verbo principal con "-ing". Por ejemplo: "You are working" o "She is working". Para formar la negativa añadimos "not": "You aren't working". Y para preguntas invertimos el orden: "Are you working?" o "Is she working?".

El Past Simple describe acciones que empezaron y terminaron en el pasado. Aparece con expresiones como "yesterday", "last week" o "in 2022". Para verbos regulares añadimos "-ed" y para irregulares usamos la segunda columna. Ejemplos: "You played football" o "She wrote a letter". La negativa se forma con "didn't": "You didn't play". Y las preguntas con "Did": "Did you play?" o "Did she write?".

💡 Truco para recordar: Piensa en el Present Simple como tu rutina diaria, el Present Continuous como lo que estás haciendo ahora mismo, y el Past Simple como tu diario de ayer.

El Past Continuous se usa para acciones que ocurrían en un momento específico del pasado. Aparece a menudo con "while" o "when". Su estructura es sujeto + "was/were" + verbo con "-ing". Por ejemplo: "You were playing" o "She was playing". La negativa: "You weren't playing" o "She wasn't playing". Y las preguntas: "Were you playing?" o "Was she playing?".

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.
