一般过去时的用法

一般过去时

现在

过去

将来

一、 一般过去时的基本定义：

一般过去时是表示在过去某一时间发生的动作或存在的状态。也可以表示在过去某一阶段经常、反复做的动作。 如：He walked to school.

The children went to the zoo yesterday .

The teacher often did some reading in the morning when he was a child.

（这个老师在他是一个孩子时经常看书是再过去常常，动作，所以这个句子要用一般过去时）

2. 主语+动词的过去式+其他。

二．Be 动词的过去时： Be 动词过去时的句型如下：

1.be 动词过去时的肯定句：主语+ was/were + 其他 如：Mike was in the United States last year. 比较be 动词的现在式和过去式：

如：I was very tired last night.

一般过去时的句式结构： 1. 主语+was/were+其他。

You were absent from school two days ago.

There were some books there. (那儿曾经有一些书。)

注意：There be 句型用于一般过去时需把is /are 变为它们的过去式：There was (were) …

2. Be动词过去时的否定句：主语+ was/were + not + 其他

He was not in Canada last year.

Be 过去式的否定句结构，只要在was/were 后面加上not 就可以了。

它的缩写形式为：wasn’t 和weren’t

如：I wasn’t busy yesterday.

There weren’t any boys in the room.

3. Be动词过去时的疑问句：

（1）was/were + 主语+其他（一般疑问句）

----Was it raining in Beijing yesterday?

----No, it wasn’t. It was cloudy.

（2）特殊疑问词+ were/was +主语+其他（特殊疑问句）

----Where were you yesterday morning?

----I was at school.

Be动词过去式一般疑问句的结构，只要把was/were 提到主语前面，some 变any , and 变成or.

回答时，Yes, … was/were.

No, … wasn’t/weren’t.

以疑问词开始的特殊疑问句，回答时，不能用Yes, No. 直接回答所问的问题即可。

如：--- Was your father free this morning？

--- Yes, he was.

--- No, he wasn’t.

--- Was there any water in the bottle?

--- Yes, there was.

--- No, there wasn’t.

三．一般动词的过去时（不含be 动词）

一般动词（不含be动词）过去时的基本句型如下：

1.肯定句：主语+ 动词的过去式+ 其它

We had a good time yesterday.

He had a good time yesterday.

一般动词的过去时没有人称和数的变化，因此主语即使是单数、第三人称，也和其他人称一样变化。

补充：动词的过去式及过去分词规则动词的变化

不规则动词单独实记

如：I watched TV for an hour.

She studied Russian two years later.

We said good-bye to Li Ming at five.

2.否定句：主语+ did not + 动词原形+ 其它

We did not (didn’t) have a good time yesterday.

He did not do his homework.

一般动词（不含be动词）过去时的否定句的结构，不论主语时第几人称，还是单复数，在主语后面加上did not （didn’t）就可以了。后面的动词要变成原形。

如：He didn’t have classes this morning.

You didn’t do your best to do it.

二．一般疑问句：Did+主语+动词原形+其它？

特数疑问句：疑问词+did+动词原形+其它？

---- Did he go there?

---- Yes, he did.

---- No, he didn’t.

----- When did you get up this morning?

---- At six.

一般动词（be动词）的过去时的一般疑问句，无论主语时第几人称，是单，复数，在主语前面加上Did , some 变any，and 变or. 后面的动词要变成原形。

---- Did Tom go with you?

---- Yes, he did.

---- No, he didn’t.
