be动词的一般过去时与练习题

学习动词be的一般过去时，下面有一口诀，它可以帮你们更好地掌握动词be的一般过去时。be的过去时有四巧：一是时间状语巧，表示过去的短语要记牢；二是形式巧，单数was，复数were；否定句结构是三巧，not紧跟was／were；四是疑问句式巧，was／were向前跑(提前)。

【一巧】时间状语巧。一般过去时表示过去发生的动作或存在的状态，恰巧与表示过去的一些时间状语连用。例如：

yesterday, last night／ week／ month／ year, last Saturday, the day before yesterday, in 1998, five years ago等。

【二巧】形式巧。它与一般现在时一样，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。例如：

I was in the classroom yesterday morning．昨天早上我在教室里。

He was at school last Tuesday．上周二他在学校。

They were over there a moment ago．刚才他们在那边。

【三巧】否定句结构巧。与动词be的一般现在时一样，

它在动词后面加not即可变成否定句，并且was, were与not可以缩写成wasn't, weren't。即：主语＋ wasn't／ weren't ＋表语＋其他。例如：I was not (＝wasn't) here yesterday．昨天我不在这儿。

My parents were not (＝weren't) at home last Sunday．上周日我父母不在家。

【四巧】疑问句式巧。把was, were提到句首，句末用问号即可变为一般疑问句。即：Was(Were) ＋主语＋表语＋其他？这恰巧与动词be的一般现在时的疑问句式相似。例如：

Were you at home the day before yesterday﹖前天你在家吗？

Was she late this morning﹖今天早上她迟到了吗？

更巧的是疑问句的答语也相似，肯定回答用“Yes, 主语＋was／were．”；否定回答用“No,主语＋wasn't／weren't．”。

例如：—Were Wei Hua and Han Mei here just now﹖刚才魏华和韩梅在这儿吗？

—Yes, they were． (No, they weren't．) 是的，她们在。（不，她们不在。）[巩固练习] 从下列各题后所给的四个选项中选择最佳答案填空。
