英語過去式表示過去的動作和狀態(tài),通常一般過去式帶有表示動作時間狀語的詞。表示一般過去式的動詞通常用動詞的過去式形式,eg:動詞詞尾加上-ed。

一般過去式構(gòu)成: 表示一般過去式的動詞通常用動詞的過去式形式來表示,而動詞的過去式是在動詞原形的基礎上變化的。動詞的過去式可分為規(guī)則動詞和不規(guī)則動詞。

規(guī)則動詞的過去式變化如下:

1.動詞詞尾加 -ed ,如: worked played wanted acted
以不發(fā)音的 -e 結(jié)尾動詞,動詞詞尾加 -d,如: lived moved decided declined hoped judged raised wiped

2.以輔音字母 + y結(jié)尾的動詞,把-y變?yōu)?i 再加-ed,如: studied tried copied justified cried carried embodied emptied

3.以一個輔音字母結(jié)尾的重讀閉音節(jié)動詞,雙寫詞尾輔音字母,再加 -ed,如: stopped begged fretted dragged dropped planned dotted dripped

注:不規(guī)則動詞的過去式變化規(guī)律性不強,須多加記憶。 go - went make - made get - got buy - bought come - came fly-flew

一般過去式的用法

1.帶有確定的過去時間狀語時,要用過去時如:yesterday(昨天)、two days ago…(兩天前…… )、last year…(去年…)、the other day(前幾天)、once up on a time(過去曾經(jīng))、 just now(剛才)、in the old days(過去的日子里)、before liberation(解放前…)、 When I was 8 years old(當我八歲時…)

如:

Did you have a party the other day?
前幾天,你們開了晚會了嗎?
?
Lei Feng was a good soldier.
雷鋒是個好戰(zhàn)士。


注意:在談到已死去的人的情況時,多用過去時。

如:
2.表示過去連續(xù)發(fā)生的動作時,要用過去時。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。

The boy opened his eyes for a moment,looked at the captain,and then died.
那男孩把眼睛張開了一會兒,看看船長,然后就去世了。


3.表示過去一段時間內(nèi)經(jīng)?;蚍磸偷膭幼鳎Ecalways,never等連用。如

Mrs. Peter always carried an umbrella.
彼得太太過去老是帶著一把傘。(只是說明她過去的動作,不表明她現(xiàn)在是否常帶著傘。)


4.如果強調(diào)已經(jīng)終止的習慣時要用used to do。如:

He used to drink.
他過去喝酒。(意味著他現(xiàn)在不喝酒了。喝酒這個動作終止了)
?
I used to take a walk in the morning.
我過去是在早晨散步。(意味著現(xiàn)在不在早晨散步了)


5.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)生的動作或存在的狀態(tài)的話,也要用過去時,這一點,我們中國學生往往出錯,要特別注意!

I didn''t know you were in Paris.
我不知道你在巴黎。(因為在說話時,我已經(jīng)知道你在巴黎了。這句話指的是說話之前,所以只能用過去時表示。實際上,這句話暗指:But now I know you are here.)
?
I thought you were ill.
我以為你病了呢。(這句話應是在說話之前,我以為你病了。但是現(xiàn)在我知道你沒?。?/span>
