如：

2构成：

1）用动词的过去式。作谓语的行为动词的词尾变化如下：

一般情况

以e字母结尾的辅音

以辅音字母+y结尾

重读闭音节结尾的单词，末尾只有一个辅音字母

+ed

+d

去y变i+ed

双写词尾字母+ed

一般过去时对谓语动词的要求

一般过去时用动词的过去式构成。即一般过去时的谓语动词要用动词的过去式。动词过去式的构成分规则变化和不规则变化两种形式，不规则变化通常需要逐个记忆，规则变化则遵循以下原则：

(1) 一般在动词后加-ed。如：play—played, offer—offered, weigh—weighed, destroy— destroyed, sign—signed.

(2) 在以字母e结尾的动词后，只加-d。如：like—liked, provide—provided, hate — hated, date—dated。

(3) 在以“辅音字母+y”结尾的动词后，则改y为i，再加—ed。如：supply—supplied, fly—flied, study— studied. (from )

(4) 在以单短元音的重读闭音节结尾且，末尾只有一个辅音字母的动词后，双写最后一个辅音字母，再加-ed。如：plan—planned, refer—referred, regret—regretted, ban—banned.

2）一般过去时态的肯定句、否定句和疑问句形式（以be和like为例）：

主 语 肯 定 式 否 定 式

I was not a student.

We/You/ They were not students.

He/ She was not a student.

I / We/ You/ They/

didn’t like music.

Many people didn’t

like music.

疑 问 式

Were you a student.

Were you/ they students

Was he/ she a student

Did you/ they like

music

Did many people like music?

I was a student.

We/You/ They were students.

第一、二人称和第三人称复数以及名词复数

He/ She was a student.

I / We/ You/ They/

liked music.

Many people liked music.

3）一般过去时的用法：

1． 过去发生的动作。例如：

The police stopped me on my way home last night.

2． 过去存在的状态。例如：

They weren't able to come because they were so busy.

3． 常用于一般过去时的时间状语：

yesterday，three months ago，last year，in 1979，often，always等。

3 用法说明

1）表示在过去某个时间所发生的动作或所处的状态。 常与yesterday, last week, in 1989, just now, a moment ago, the other day等连用。

如：He was here just now. 他刚才还在这里。

What did you do yesterday? 你昨天做了什么事？

2）在过去一段时间内的经常性或习惯性动作。

如：We often played together when we were children. 我们小时候常在一起玩。

注：表示过去经常发生的动作还可用used to 和would。

如：He used to smoke a lot, but he doesn’t now. 他过去经常抽烟，但现在不抽了。

Whenever we were in trouble, he would help us. 每当我们遇到困难，他都会帮助我们。

3）表示主语过去的特征或性格。

如：At that time she was very good at English. 那时她英语学得很好。

4）用在状语从句中表示过去将来。

如：He said he would wait until they came back.

5）一般过去时有时可以表示现在，多与 want, hope, wonder, think, intend 等动词连用，使语气更委婉。

如：I wondered if you could help me. 不知你能不能帮我一下。

有时用一般过去时也是时态一致的需要。

如：I didn’t know you were here. 没想到你在这里。

注意：

1. 表示一系列的动作，尽管有先后，都用一般过去时，最后两个动词之间用and连结。如： He opened the door, rushed out and then disappeared. 他打开门，冲了出去，然后就消失了。

2. 注意在语境中理解“我刚才/原来还不……”。如：

—Your phone number again? I didn’t quite catch it. —It’s 2566666. 请再说一次你的电话号码，好吗？我刚才没听清楚。是2566666。

特别说明

有些动词的过去时，如：expect, hope, intend, plan, wanted 等一般过去时，后接不定式的完成时；或它们的过去完成时接不定式的一般式，都可表示过去未曾实现的意图、打算或希望。如：

I hoped to have been invited to his wedding party. —I had hoped to be invited to his wedding ceremony. 我本希望他来邀请我参加他的婚礼。

I intended to have joined their games. —I had intended to join their games. 我本打算参加他们的比赛。

过去时的一般形态

1． Be 动词的一般过去时态.

在没有实义动词的句子中使用be动词， am is 的过去式为was; are的过去式为were.

构成：肯定句：主语+was (were) +表语

如：I was late yesterday. （昨天我迟到了。）

否定句：主语+was (were) +not+表语

如：We weren't late yesterday. （我们昨天没迟到）

【注意】：当句中含有系动词was，were时，可直接在其后加not构成否定句。如：I was on the Internet

when you called me.当你打电话给我时，我在上网。→ ：I was

not/wasn't on the Internet when you called me .当你打电话给我时，我不在上网。

疑问句：Was (Were) +主语+表语

如：Were you ill yesterday? （你昨天病了吗？）

肯定回答：Yes, I was. （是的，我病了。）

否定句：No, I wasn't. （不，我没病。）

特殊疑问句：特殊疑问词+was (were) +主语+表语

如：When were you born? 你是什么时候出生的？

2． 实义动词的一般过去时态

肯定句要使用动词的过去式，否定句和疑问句要使用助动词do和 does

的过去式 did.

肯定句为：主语+动词过去式+宾语

如：I went home at nine o'clock yesterday.（我昨天九点钟回的家。）

否定句：主语+didn't +动词原形+宾语

如：I didn't go home yesterday. （我昨天没回家。）

疑问句：Did +主语+动词原形+宾语

如：Did you go home yesterday? （你昨天回家了吗？）

肯定回答：Yes ,I did. （是的，我回了。）

否定回答：No, I didn't. （不，我没回家。）

3． 助动词和情态动词过去式如下：

shall―should（将要）用于第一人称单数

will―would（将要）用于所有人称

can—could（能，会） may―might（可以） must―must （必须）

have to―had to（不得不）

助动词和情态动词的过去时态要使用他们的过去式，后面的动词还使用原形。

如：I had to do my homework yesterday. （昨天我不得不做作业。）

一般过去技巧

一变：肯定句变为否定句

【技巧1】当句中含有情态动词或助动词could，would，should等时，可直接在其后面加not构成否定句。例如：

I could get you a concert ticket. → I could not / couldn't get

you a concert ticket.

【技巧2】当句中含有系动词was，were 时，可直接在其后加not构成否定句。例如：

I was on the Internet when you called me. → I was not / wasn't

on the Internet when you called me.

【技巧3】当句中谓语是除情态动词、助动词、系动词was, were以外的动词时，在该动词之前加did not / didn't，动词还原，构成否定句。例如：

The famous singer sang some Chinese songs. → The famous singer

did not / didn't sing any Chinese songs.

二变：陈述句变为一般疑问句

【技巧1】移动词语的位置。将was，were, could，would，should等移到句首。例如：

He could pack his things himself. → Could he pack his things

himself?

【技巧2】添加助动词did。谓语是除情态动词、助动词、系动词was,

were以外的动词时，在主语之前加did，动词还原。例如：

Mr. Li looked very old. → Did Mr. Li look very old?

三变：陈述句变为特殊疑问句

【技巧1】确定疑问词：人who / whom，物what，地点where，时间when / what time，原因why，频率how often，长度how long，距离how

far等等。例如：

They gave the concert last night. →When did they give the

concert?

【技巧2】辨认结构形式：疑问词+情态动词/助动词/ was / were / did

+主语+...? 例如：

The accident happened near the station. →Where did the accident

happen

一些不规则变化：

do--did, see--saw, make--made, take--took, eat--ate

read--read, put--put, get--got, hear--heard, feel--felt

is/am—was, bare—were, teach—taught, catch--caught

buy—bought, go—went, come—came, become--became等
