一、一般過去時的結(jié)構(gòu)
1、肯定形式:主語+動詞過去式+其他
例句:She often came to help us in those days.
2、否定形式:①was/were+not;②在行為動詞前加didn't,同時還原行為動詞
例句:I didn't know you like coffee.
3、一般疑問句:①Did+主語+謂語動詞原型+其他? ②WasWere+主語+表語?
肯定式 | 疑問式 | 否定式 | 疑問否定式 |
I worked | Did I work? | I did not work | Did I not work? |
He(She,It) worked | Did he(she,it) work? | He (she,it)did not work | Did he(she,it)not work? |
We worked | Did we work? | We did not work | Did we not work? |
You worked | Did you work? | You did not work | Did you not work? |
They worked | Did they work? | They did not work | Did they not work? |
二、一般過去時的基本用法
1.表示過去確定時間內(nèi)發(fā)生的動作或狀態(tài)
常與過去時間狀語如yesterday(昨天),two days ago(兩天前),last year(去年),the other day(前幾天),once upon a time(過去曾經(jīng)),just now(剛才),in the old days(過去的日子里)等連用:
My parents got married in1960.我父母于1960年結(jié)婚。
He lived in Paris until he was six.他在巴黎一直住到6歲。
What did you say just now? 你剛才說什么來著?
2.表示過去連續(xù)發(fā)生的動作
在這種情況下,往往沒有表示過去的時間狀語,而通過上下文來表示:
Where did you grow up? 你是在哪兒長大的?
I grew up right here in this neighborhood.我就在這個居民區(qū)長大。
My friend spent his childhood in Beijing.我的朋友在北京度過了童年。
3.表示過去一段時間內(nèi)經(jīng)?;蚍磸?fù)的動作
常與always,never等連用。如果強調(diào)已經(jīng)終止的習(xí)慣或動作要用used to do sth.:
I never overslept.我過去從未睡過頭。
Roland always took me out to dinner on my birthday.我從前過生日時羅蘭總是帶我出去吃飯。
I used to go to the cinema a lot,but I never get the time now.我過去常去看電影,可現(xiàn)在總是抽不出時間來。
We used to swim every day when we were children.我們還是一群孩子時,天天都去游泳。
有些句子,雖然沒有表示過去確定時間的狀語,但實際上是指過去發(fā)生的動作或狀態(tài):
I thought it was true.我以為這是真的。(在說話之前,我以為這是真的。但現(xiàn)在不這樣認為了。)
三、一般過去時記憶口訣
一般過去時并不難,過去動作、狀態(tài)記心間。
動詞要用過去式,時間狀語句末站。
否定句很簡單,didn't 站在動原前,其它部分不要變。
一般疑問句也好變,did放在句子前,主語、動原、其它部分依次站立。
特殊疑問句也簡單,疑問詞加一般疑問句記心間。
最后一條請注意,動詞過去式要牢記!
