一般过去时
一、概念
过去某个时间发生的动作或存在的状态,或者是过去习惯性、经常性的动作、行为。其谓语部分用动词的过去式来表示,实义动词没有人称和数的变化,但be动词有单数was和复数were之分。
二、通常使用一般过去时的时间状语
如: yesterday 昨天、 the day before yesterday 前天、two days ago…两天前… 、the other day前几天 、last night (week 、Sunday 、weekend、month、winter、year、century 世纪)、ago 很久以前(一段时间+ago) 、this morning今天早上、 just now 刚刚、 at the moment 那时、at the age of 8在8岁的时候、one day 、once upon a time 很久以前、in the old days 过去的日子里、long long ago很久以前
三、行为动词的一般过去式
行为动词是指表示具体动作的动词,如play, watch, eat等,它们的过去式表示这个动作发生在过去的某一时间。 We played basketball yesterday.
1、行为动词的过去式的构成:可概括为“直、去、双、改”四字诀。
一般情况下在动词原形后直接加ed. 如watched, played.
以不发音的字母e结尾的动词,去掉e再加ed. 如hoped, lived.
重读闭音节结尾且末尾只有一个辅音字母,即“辅+元+辅” (w和y除外),须双写最后一个辅音字母,再加ed. 如stopped, dragged, dropped, planned, chatted, kidded, begged, regretted, controlled, admitted, occurred, preferred, referred, permitted, equipped等.
注意:quarrel, signal, travel中的l可双写(英国英语)也可不双写(美国英语)
注:加现在分词时,需要留意以下两种情况。 ①open它不是以重读闭音节结尾的,不符合上述条件,故末尾辅音不能双写。而begin, forget是重读闭音节结尾的单词,符合上述情况,构成现在分词时,需双写辅音beginning,forgetting。 ②throw, play, stay虽符合"一元一辅"条件,但他们是元音字母组合发音不符合条件,故不能双写throwing,playing staying
以“辅音字母+y”结尾的动词变y为i, 再加ed. 如studied, worried.
有些动词的过去式变化是不规的,需单独记忆。
2、行为动词在一般过去时态的句子中的用法
肯定句要使用动词的过去式,否定句和疑问句要使用助动词do和 does 的过去式 did. 谓语动词要用过去式时,行为动词的过去式没有人称和数的变化;改为否定句时,要把谓语动词改为“didn’t+动词原形”;改为一般疑问句时,在句首加助动词did,句中的动词要改为动词原形。
肯定句为:主语+动词过去式+宾语
如:I went home at nine o'clock yesterday. They watched TV last night.
否定句:主语+didn't +动词原形+宾语
如:I didn't go home yesterday. They didn’t watch TV last night.
一般疑问句:Did +主语+动词原形+宾语
如:Did you go home yesterday? Did they watch TV yesterday?
肯定回答:Yes,I did. Yes, they did.
否定回答:No,I didn't. No, they didn’t.
特殊疑问句:特殊疑问词+一般疑问句 When did they go home? When did they watch TV?
四、be动词的一般过去时
1、be动词过去式的构成
be动词的过去式表示过去的状态,如是什么,在哪里,怎么样等。 I was twelve last year.
它与am, is, are一样,形式多样。当主语是第一人称单数或第三人称单数时,谓语动词用was,主语是第二人称或其他人称复数时,谓语动词用were.即am, is的过去式是was; are的过去式是were.
2、be动词在一般过去时态的句子中的用法。
在肯定句中,be动词要用过去式was或were,在人称和数上与主语保持一致;改为否定句时,在was或were后直接加not;改为一般疑问句时,将was或were提到句首即可。
肯定句:主语+was (were) +表语
如:I was late yesterday. They were in Beijing last week.
否定句:主语+was (were) +not+表语
如:We weren't late yesterday. They weren’t/ were not in Beijing last week.
疑问句:Was (Were) +主语+表语
如:Were you ill yesterday? Were they in Beijing last week?
肯定回答:Yes,I was. Yes, they were.
否定句:No,I wasn't. No, they weren’t.
特殊疑问句:特殊疑问词+was (were) +主语+表语
如:When were you born? Where were they last week?
五、助动词和情态动词过去式如下:
shall―should(将要)用于第一人称单数 will―would(将要)用于所有人称
can—could(能,会) may―might(可以) must―must (必须) have to―had to(不得不)
助动词和情态动词的过去时态要使用他们的过去式,后面的动词还使用原形。
如:I had to do my homework yesterday. (昨天我不得不做作业。)
