(Eu andei para a escola ontem). b) hábitos passados.&nbsp; Ex: He always walked to school when he was a child. (Ele sempre andava para a escola quando ele era criança). Forma Afirmativa: Para a formação do Simple Past em inglês, os verbos são divididos em regulares e irregulares. Os verbos regulares são aqueles que seguem regras para a formação do passado e os irregulares são aqueles que não possuem regras para a formação do passado, ou seja, possuem uma forma ortográfica diferente da dos verbos no infinitivo sem a partícula to.&nbsp; 1. VERBOS REGULARES: a) Regra geral: acrescenta-se a terminação ED ao infinitivo sem a partícula to do verbo.
