💡La idea central

Dos caminos para el pasado

Todo verbo en inglés tiene tres formas: base, past simple y past participle. Los regulares siguen una sola regla; los irregulares se aprenden de memoria.
“work → worked → worked · go → went → gone”
Solo unos 180 verbos irregulares son de uso frecuente.

The Verb Log of a Gamer

Last year Emilio bought a notebook. Every time he heard a new verb in a game, he wrote it down.

He has written three hundred verbs. He has learned that «play» is easy: played, played. But «break» broke his patience: broke, broken.

In one match his friend said: «I have won!» Emilio didn't understand. He looked it up: win, won, won.

He has taught the list to his little sister. She has already memorised twenty irregular verbs.

«Games gave me the vocabulary,» he says. «School gave me the grammar. I have needed both.»
