一般过去时复习要点与强化训练

龚建辉

一、一般过去时的用法：

1．表示过去某一时间、某一确定时刻、某一时刻之后发生的动作或存在的状态，常与表示过去的时间状语连用。如：

They had a good swim last Sunday. 他们上星期天游泳游的真痛快。

My father joined the Party in 1999. 我父亲是在1999年入党的。

注意：有时也可以不用时间状语，所指的过去时间可用暗示的办法或上下文表达出来。如：

Did you sleep well? 你睡得好吗？

I grew up right here. 我就是在这儿长大的。

2．表示过去一段时间内经常的、反复出现的动作或状态，常和一定的时间状语或频度状语连用。如：

When we lived in the countryside, we went to town very often.

我们住在乡下时，常常进城。

For years she called on us daily. 多年来，她总是每天都来看我们。

3．表示过去发生的一系列动作或情况。如：

I got up, washed, dressed and went downstairs to have breakfast.

我起床、洗脸、穿衣、下楼去吃早饭。

She got up early in the morning, carried water, swept the floor for the grandma and then went out to work.

她一早起来，给老奶奶挑水、扫地，然后出去上班去了。

4．当联想的是一个过去的动作或情况时，常用一般过去时。如：

What did you think of the film? 你认为这部电影怎么样？

What was the report about? 那个报告是什么内容？

说明：以上两例中所涉及的看电影、听报告等情况都是刚才发生的，或说话前某一时刻发生的。如果要表示说话人在看电影、听报告过程中，或在泛泛而谈某报告、某电影的看法或印象时，则要用一般现在时。

5．在评价历史任务，谈到已去世的人的情况时多用一般过去时。如：

Premier Zhou was a good premier. 周总理是位好总理。

Lei Feng was a fine son of the people. 雷锋是人民的优秀儿子。

二、一般过去时的时间状语：

1．常用的、特定的一般过去时的时间状语：

⑴ 含有yesterday的时间词。如yesterday morning/afternoon/evening, the day before yesterday等。

⑵ 含有last的时间短语。如last week/month/year/term, last Sunday/Sa-turday, last night等。

⑶ 含有“in, on, at+表示过去的时间词”。如in 2007, on July 3, 1999等。

⑷ 含有ago的短语。如a moment ago, three days ago, two years ago等。

⑸ 含有that, those的时间词。如that morning, at that time, those days等。

⑹ 时间词或短语then, just now, once等。

2．根据具体情况和意思来决定的时间短语：

⑴ 含有this的时间短语，如this morning/afternoon/evening等。如：

My friend Li Kai came to visit me this morning.

我的朋友李凯今天上午来看望了我。

⑵ 时间词today, this week, this year等也可与一般过去时连用，但它们必须指过去，决不包括“现在”在内。如：

I didnt see her in the classroom today. 今天在教室里我没看到她。

3．两个动词用and连接时，如果前一个动词是一般过去时态，那么后一个动词也要用一般过去时。如：

She put on her coat and went out. 她穿上外套出去了。

4．在讲述或叙述过去的故事经历时，常用一般过去时。如：

Long, long ago, there was a king; he had a beautiful daughter.

很久很久以前，有一位国王，他有一个美丽的女儿。

三、规则动词过去式的读音：

现提供口诀一则：清后〔t〕，浊元〔d〕，〔t〕〔d〕后面读〔id〕。

说明：清辅音之后读作〔t〕，浊辅音和元音之后读作〔d〕，在〔t〕、〔d〕之后读作〔id〕。

四、含be动词的句式变化：

1．肯定句：当主语是第一人称单数或第三人称单数时，谓语动词用was；当主语是第二人称单数或复数时，谓语动词用were。例如：

He was late for school yesterday. 他昨天上学迟到了。

They were in the library just now. 他们刚才在图书室里。

2．否定句：在was/were之后加否定词not即可变为否定句，即：主语+was/were+not+表语+其他。was not可缩写成wasnt, were not可缩写成werent。例如：

My father wasnt at work yesterday. 我父亲昨天没上班。

Mr and Mrs Black werent in Beijing last week.

布莱克夫妇上周不在北京。

3．一般疑问句：把was/were提到句首，句末用问号即可变为一般疑问句，即Was/Were+主语+表语+其他？。其肯定回答为：Yes,主语+was/were.；其否定回答为：No,主语+wasnt/werent.。例如：

——Were you in the classroom just now? 刚才你在教室里吗？

——Yes, I was. 是的，我在教室里。

——No, I wasnt. 不，我不在。

4．特殊疑问句：

1）特殊疑问词+一般疑问句。如：

Where were you born? 你在哪里出生？

2）特殊疑问词（作主语）+过去式+其它+表过去的时间状语。如：

Who was in the office just now? 刚才谁在办公室里？

五、含行为动词的句式变化：

1．肯定句：主语+过去式+其它+表过去的时间状语。

2．否定句：主语+didnt+动词原形+其它+表过去的时间状语。

3．一般疑问句：Did+主语+动词原形+其它+表过去的时间状语。

其肯定回答为：Yes, 主语+did；否定回答为：No, 主语+didnt。如：

They carried the books to the classroom just now.

→They didnt carry the books to the classroom just now.

→Did they carry the books to the classroom just now?
