一般过去时用法讲解
1、概述

2、一般过去时的构成
一般过去时由规则动词(-ed/-d)或不规则动词的过去时表示,除be外,其余动词没有人称和数的变化。各种动词的否定结构和一般疑问结构,与一般现在时的否定结构和疑问结构相同。
3.Be动词在一般过去时中的变化:
⑴am 和is在一般过去时中变为was。(was not=wasn’t)
⑵are在一般过去时中变为were。(were not=weren’t)
⑶带有was或were的句子,其否定、疑问的变化和is, am, are一样,即否定句在was或were后加not,一般疑问句把was或were调到句首。
4.句中没有be动词的一般过去时的句子
否定句:didn’t +动词原形,如:Jim didn’t go home yesterday.
一般疑问句:在句首加did,句子中的动词过去式变回原形。
如:Did Jim go home yesterday?
特殊疑问句:⑴疑问词+did+主语+动词原形?
如: What did Jim do yesterday?
⑵疑问词当主语时:疑问词+动词过去式?
如:Who went to home yesterday?
5.规则动词过去式变化规则 1.一般在动词末尾加-ed,如:play-played, cook-cooked
2.结尾是e加d,如:like-liked love-loved
3.末尾只有一个元音字母和一个辅音字母的重读闭音节,应双写末尾的辅音字母,再加-ed,如:stop-stopped
4.以“辅音字母+y”结尾的,变y为i,再加-ed,如:study-studied
