一、構(gòu)成方法 一般過(guò)去時(shí)用動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去式構(gòu)成,即在動(dòng)詞原形后加ed。 二、用法說(shuō)明 1、表示在過(guò)去某個(gè)時(shí)間所發(fā)生的動(dòng)作或所處的狀態(tài)。常與yesterday, last week, in 1989, just now, a moment ago, the other day等連用。如: He was here just now. 他剛才還在這里。 What did you do yesterday? 你昨天做了什么事? 2、在過(guò)去一段時(shí)間內(nèi)的經(jīng)常性或習(xí)慣性動(dòng)作。如: We often played together when we were children. 我們小時(shí)候常在一起玩。 注:表示過(guò)去經(jīng)常發(fā)生的動(dòng)作還可用used to 和would。如: He used to smoke a lot, but he doesn't now. 他過(guò)去經(jīng)常抽煙,但現(xiàn)在不抽了。 Whenever we were in trouble, he would help us. 每當(dāng)我們遇到困難,他都會(huì)幫助我們。 3、表示主語(yǔ)過(guò)去的特征或性格。如: At that time she was very good at English. 那時(shí)她英語(yǔ)學(xué)得很好。 4、用在狀語(yǔ)從句中表示過(guò)去將來(lái)。如: He said he would wait until they came back. 5、一般過(guò)去時(shí)有時(shí)可以表示現(xiàn)在,多與 want, hope, wonder, think, intend 等動(dòng)詞連用,使語(yǔ)氣更委婉。如: I wondered if you could help me. 不知你能不能幫我一下。 6、有時(shí)用一般過(guò)去時(shí)也是時(shí)態(tài)一致的需要。如: I didn't know you were here. 沒(méi)想到你在這里。 注意: 1. 表示一系列的動(dòng)作,盡管有先后,都用一般過(guò)去時(shí),最后兩個(gè)動(dòng)詞之間用and連結(jié)。如: He opened the door, rushed out and then disappeared. 他打開(kāi)門,沖了出去,然后就消失了。 2. 注意在語(yǔ)境中理解“我剛才/原來(lái)還不……”。如: —Your phone number again? I didn't quite catch it. —It's 2566666. 請(qǐng)?jiān)僬f(shuō)一次你的電話號(hào)碼,好嗎?我剛才沒(méi)聽(tīng)清楚。是2566666。
