03. Por que as sentenças abaixo estão erradas?

a. I didn’t went to the party with them.

Em sentenças negativas usamos didn’t e o verbo deve continuar escrito em sua forma
normal (base form). Portanto, nessa sentença, o erro está em “didn’t went”, cuja forma
correta é “din’t go”.

b. We readed this book a long time ago.

O verbo “read” é um verbo irregular. Sua forma no passado é “read” e não “readed”.

c. Did she left her purse in the car?

Em sentença interrogativas usamos “did” e o verbo deve continuar escrito em sua forma
normal (base form). Portanto, nessa sentença o erro está em “did she left...?”, cuja forma
correta é “did she leave...?”.

d. He plaied chess with my grandfather.

O verbo “play” termina em uma sequência de vogal seguida de “y”. Logo, não precisamos
tirar o “y” e acrescentar “-ied”. O correto é “played” e não “plaied”. Nós só tiramos o “y” e
acrescentamos “-ied” quando o verbo terminar em uma sequência de consoante seguida por
“y”: study – studied; try – tried.

e. We maked a lot of plans.

O verbo “make” é um verbo irregular. Sua forma no passado é “made” e não “maked”.

f. They didn’t did what we asked them to do.

Em sentenças negativas usamos didn’t e o verbo deve continuar escrito em sua forma
normal (base form). Portanto, nessa sentença, o erro está em “didn’t did”, cuja forma
correta é “din’t do”.

g. I tryed to open the door but I couldn’t.

O verbo “try” termina em uma sequência de consoante seguida de “y”. Logo, é preciso tirar
o “y” e acrescentar “-ied”. O correto é “tried” e não “tryed”.
