一般过去时

测验您的知识

一般过去时的作用

一般过去时用来谈论以前完成的动作。持续多久并不重要，动作的发生时间可能是不久之前或很久以前。

举例
  • John Cabot sailed to America in 1498.
  • My father died last year.
  • He lived in Fiji in 1976.
  • We crossed the Channel yesterday.

每当谈到某事发生的时间，一律要用一般过去时；因此它和过去特定的时间词有关。

  • 频率：often, sometimes, always
    I sometimes walked home at lunchtime.
    I often brought my lunch to school.
  • 明确的时间点：last week, when I was a child, yesterday, six weeks ago
    We saw a good film last week.
    Yesterday, I arrived in Geneva.
    She finished her work atseven o'clock
    I went to the theatre last night
  • 不明确的时间点：the other day, ages ago, a long time ago People lived in caves a long time ago.
  • She played the piano when she was a child.

注：「ago」这个字非常好用，可以表达现在到过去的时间有多长。ago 一律放在一段时间之后：a week ago、three years ago、a minute ago 等。

要注意：也许在您的母语中，也有与英语中的一般过去时类似的时态；但意思上不见得相同。

肯定句丶否定句和疑问句的额外补充

肯定句

一般过去时的肯定句非常简单。

  • I was in Japan last year
  • She had a headache yesterday.
  • We did our homework last night.
否定句和疑问句

「do」为一般动词，在一般过去时上，否定句和疑问句会用到助动词「do」。例如：We didn't do our homework last night.
在一般过去时的「have」否定型态，通常以助动词「do」构成，但有时候只要加「not」或缩写「n't」即可。

在一般过去时的「have」疑问型态，一般会使用助动词「do」。

举例
  • They weren't in Rio last summer.
  • We didn't have any money.
  • We didn't have time to visit the Eiffel Tower.
  • We didn't do our exercises this morning.
  • Were they in Iceland last January?
  • Did you have a bicycle when you were young?
  • Did you do much climbing in Switzerland?

注：对于所有一般过去时的动词，在否定型态和疑问型态上，一律用助动词「did」。

一般过去时的不规则动词

一般过去时有几个不规则动词，以下是几个最常用的不规则动词。

to go
  • He went to a club last night.
  • Did he go to the cinema last night?
  • He didn't go to bed early last night.
to give
  • We gave her a doll for her birthday.
  • They didn't give John their new address.
  • Did Barry give you my passport?
to come
  • My parents came to visit me last July.
