時態 | 一般過去時
今天我們要學習的是一般過去時。
1
概念引入
I. 何時使用一般過去時？
一般過去時表示在過去某個時間裡發生的動作或存在的狀態。
例如：Lin Tao left for Shanghai at 8:00 yesterday morning.林濤昨天早上八點去上海了。
He was ill last night.昨晚他生病了。
它可以具體分為以下幾種情況：
1）表示過去經常或反覆發生的動作。
例如：Li Tao always went to work by bus last term.上學期李濤一直乘公共汽車上班。
2）表示已故的人曾經做過的事情。
例如：Lao She wrote many great works. 老舍寫過許多膾炙人口的作品。
3）表示過去所發生的一系列的動作。
例如：The old man came into the room, took off his clothes and went to bed.這位老人走進屋，脫下衣服，然後上床睡覺了。
Mr. Black got up at six o'clock this morning, dressed, had breakfast, and went to work.
布萊克先生今天早上六點起床、穿衣服、吃飯，然後去上班了。
II.如何識別一般過去時？
每個時態都會有其獨特的標誌性詞語（主要是時間狀語），我們可以稱其為“標誌詞”。一般過去時常見的標誌詞有：
1. yesterday, the day before yesterday.
2. last week / year / month / term …(簡稱last系列)
3. two hours ago, three years ago, a moment ago…(簡稱ago系列)
4. in / on + 過去的年/月/日，如 in 1999, on April, 2005
5. just now, once upon a time, one day…

用法講解
Ⅰ. be動詞的一般過去時。
在使用一般過去時的句子中，如果句子的謂語是be動詞，就要將be動詞變為過去式。主語是第一、第三人稱單數，be用was；如果是第二人稱或者其他人稱複數，be用were。它的一般疑問句是把was（were）提到句首；否定句是在was（were）的後面加not。特殊疑問句是在一般疑問句的前面加特殊疑問詞。
例如：My mother was busy last night. 我的媽媽昨天晚上很忙。（肯定句）
We weren’t at school at that time. 那時我們不在學校。（否定句）
Were you at home yesterday? 你昨天在家嗎？（一般疑問句）
Where were you last night? 你昨天晚上在哪裡？（特殊疑問句）
注意：there be句型中be動詞的使用。
當主語是單數名詞或者不可數名詞時be動詞用單數；當主語是名詞複數時be動詞用複數。
例如：There was a strong wind just now. 剛才有一陣強風。
There were many people in the supermarket last night.
昨天晚上超市有很多人。
Ⅱ. 行為動詞的一般過去時。
1）基本用法。
謂語動詞是行為動詞的句子，在一般過去時中，要將作謂語的行為動詞變成過去式。行為動詞的過去式，一般情況下是在動詞原形的後面加－ed構成，沒有人稱和數的變化。
例如：I wanted to have a rest just now. 我剛才想休息一下。
它的否定句要在謂語動詞的前面加助動詞didn’t，此時，謂語動詞要變成原形。
例如：My mother watched TV last night. 我媽媽昨天晚上看電視了。（肯定句）
My mother didn’t watch TV last night. 我媽媽昨天晚上沒有看電視。（否定句）
2）行為動詞的過去式的構成。
在一般過去時的句子中，行為動詞過去式分為規則變化和不規則變化。
規則變化有：
(1) 一般在動詞的後面加－ed。例如：work－worked，look－looked。
(2) 以字母e結尾的動詞，直接在詞尾加－d。例如：like－liked，live－lived。
(3) 以重讀閉音節結尾並且詞尾只有一個子音字母的動詞，先雙寫這個子音字母，再加－ed。例如：stop－stopped。
(4) 以子音字母＋y結尾的動詞，先把字母y變為i再加－ed。例如：worry－worried。
不規則變化有：
do/does－did，go－went，write－wrote，see－saw，
begin－began，have/has－had等。
注意：在英語中不符合變化規則的詞很多，要特殊記憶。
例如：They left the farm a moment ago. 他們剛剛離開農場。
He swam in the river and had a good time.
他在小河裡游泳並且玩得很開心。
3）行為動詞的一般疑問句。
謂語動詞是實義動詞，一般疑問句要藉助於助動詞did。句型為：Did + 主語 + 動詞原形 + 賓語？其回答仍藉助於助動詞，肯定回答用did，否定回答用didn’t。例如：
— Did he watch TV last night? 他昨晚看電視了嗎？
— Yes, he did. / No, he didn’t. 是的，他看了。/ 不，他沒有看。
4）行為動詞的特殊疑問句。
行為動詞的特殊疑問句句式是：“疑問詞 + did + 主語 +實義動詞 + 其他?”
What did you do the day before yesterday? 前天你們做什麼了？
When did the Green family arrive? 格林一傢什麼時候到達的？
拓展：常見的特殊疑問詞有：
人用who，whom；物用what；地點用where；時間用when，what time；原因用why；頻率用how often；長度用how long；距離用how far等。
例如：They went there last Sunday. (對劃線部分提問)
When did they go there?
The boy stayed in Beijing for two years. (對劃線部分提問)
How long did the boy stay in Beijing?
