一般过去时总结

一般过去时总结(Simple Past Tense)

一般过去时也译为单纯过去时。

例A：He worked very hard last year.

（去年他很用功。）

例B：Mr. Smith bought a new car yesterday.

（史密斯先生昨天买了一辆新车。）

例C：They were here only a few minutes ago.

（几分钟前他们还在这里。）

一、一般过去时的用法：

解说：一般过去时最明显的现象就是常由表达过去之时间的副词或副词短语来修饰它（如各例句的斜体字部分）。这些常用于修饰一般过去时的副词有：yesterday, yesterday morning （afternoon, evening ）, just now （刚才）, before （以前）, then （at that time ）（当时）, last +时间（如last week, month, year, Monday, … January, … spring, …, etc. ）, that +时间（如that day, afternoon, summer, …, etc. ）, 时间+ ago（如a few minutes ago, two weeks ago , years ago, … etc.）

二、一般过去时的主要语法功能：

1. 表示过去发生的动作或情况, 过去时间可以由状语或上下文表示出来：

e.g. He returned home very late last night. 他昨晚很晚回家。

He turned off TV at midnight. 他午夜才关了电视。

他常常在午夜后才关电视。He often turns off TV after midnight.

2. 表示过去反复发生的或习惯性的动作，常和never, often, usually等状语连用。

e.g. She often swam/ went swimming last summer. 去年夏天她经常去游泳。

In the past few years, Mary seldom called her grandfather.

过去几年中，玛丽很少给她爷爷打电话。

3. 可用在said, reported等后面的间接引语中，代替一般现在时。

e.g. She said, "I'm tired of his long speech."----She said that she was tired of his long speech. 她说她烦透了他的长篇大论。

The doctor reported, "The patient is very well."----The doctor reported that the patient was very well. 医生说患者情况良好。

4. 用在时间和条件状语从句中，代替过去将来时。

e.g. Father promised to buy me a new bike when he got/would get his pay the next day.父亲答应明天拿到工资后给我买辆新自行车。

He said she would lose her temper if she knew the truth. 他说如果她知道真相会发脾气的。

5. 用在对话中重复对方刚提到的事。

e.g.A: I'm hungry. B: What did you say? 我饿了。你说什么？

A: Her name is Mary. B: What was her name?她名叫玛丽。刚才你说她叫什么名字？

解析：

这道题是考学生对于动词过去时变化的掌握情况的，其中有规则变化的也有不

规则变化的，就是看学生在底下下了多少功夫，没有什么“技术含量”。

1.Ann did her homework yesterday evening. (否定句)

Ann didn’t do her homework yesterday evening.

解析：在原句中的did是短语do one’s homework的过去时形式，改为否定句我们需要在加上一个did作为助动词，助动词后面只跟动词原型。

2. Last week I read an English book. (一般疑问句)

Did you read an English book last week?

解析：这句话是一般过去时的句子，因为时间状语是last week，read这个单词的过去式形式拼写是不变化的，所以容易让人觉得那不是过去式。

3. I lived in Nanjing for 10 years. (对划线部分提问)

How long did you live in Nanjing?
