一般过去时详解(重点)

一、 一般过去时的概念：
一般过去时用来表示过去某一时间内发生的动 作或存在的状态以及过去习
惯性、反复性的动作。谓语动词要用动词的过去式，常和表示过去的时间状语
连用，如yesterday昨天、last night昨晚、last week上周、last year去年，等。

二、 一般过去时的结构：（可分三类不同的结构）
动词的一般过去时
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
肯定句式：主语 + be(was , were) + 其它.
否定句式：主语 + be(was , were) + not + 其它.
一般疑问句：Be(was , were) + 主语 + 其它？
注：在这种构成中，be动词有人称和数的变化，即要根据主语选用was were。
Be动词分为单数和复数，was是表示单数，were是表示复数。

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.
肯定句式：主语 + 动词（过去式）+ 其它
否定句式：主语 + didn’t + 动词（原形）+ 其它 【did not = didn’t】
一般疑问句：Did + 主语+ 动词（原形）+ 其它【do , does的过去时均为did】？
注：did和didn’t 是构成一般过去时的助动词，其特点是要在其后跟动词的原
形。

3. 情态动词的一般过去时态
含有情态动词的一般过去时与含有Be动词的一般过去时，是十分相似，请
注意观察。
肯定句式：主语 + 情态动词 + 其它.
否定句式：主语 + 情态动词 + not + 其它.
一般疑问句：情态动词 + 主语 + 其它？
注：情态动词的过去式：can→could , may→might , must→must ，
will-would，should-should.

4.特殊疑问句式：
特殊疑问词+be过去式+主语+其他？
特殊疑问词+情态助动词过去式+主语+动词原形+其他？
特殊疑问词+dodoes过去式+主语+动词原形+其他？
What was your former name？ 你以前叫什么名字？
