一般过去时详细讲解与练习题
一、巧记一般过去时：
动词一般过去时，表示过去发生的事；be用was或用were, have,has变had；
谓语动词过去式，过去时间作标志；一般动词加-ed，若是特殊得硬记。
否定句很简单，主语之后didn’t添；
疑问句也不难，did放在主语前；不含be动词时
如果谓语之前有did，谓语动词需还原；
动词若是was,were,否定就把not添。含be动词时
疑问句也不难，要把was，were放在主语前。
二、be的一般过去时：学习动词be的一般过去时，下面有一口诀，它可以帮你们更好地掌
握动词be的一般过去时。be的过去时有四巧：
一是时间状语巧，表示过去的短语要记牢；
二是形式巧，单数was，复数were；
三巧是否定句结构，not紧跟was／were；
四是疑问句式巧，was／were向前跑(提前)。
【一巧】时间状语（即标志词）巧。一般过去时表示过去发生的动作或存在的状态，恰巧
与表示过去的一些时间状语连用。
1. yesterday或以其构成的短语：yesterday morning(afternoon, evening)等；
2. 由“last+一时间名词”构成的短语：last night, last year (winter, month, week)等；
3. 由“时间段+ago”构成的短语：a moment ago, a short time ago, an hour ago等；
4. 其它：just now等
5. 由某些表示过去时态的从句等。
【二巧】形式巧。它与一般现在时一样，形式多样：当主语是第一人称单数或第三人称单
数时，谓语动词用was；主语是第二人称或其他人称复数时，谓语动词用were。
例如：I was in the classroom yesterday morning．昨天早上我在教室里。
He was at school last Tuesday．上周二他在学校。
They were over there a moment ago．刚才他们在那边。
【三巧】否定句结构巧。与动词be的一般现在时一样，它在动词后面加not即可变成否定
句，并且was, were与not可以缩写成wasn't, weren't。即：
主语＋wasn't／weren't ＋表语＋其他。例如：
I was not (＝wasn't) here yesterday．昨天我不在这儿。
My parents were not (＝weren't) at home last Sunday．上周日我父母不在家。
【四巧】疑问句式巧。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？这恰巧与动词be的一般现在时的疑问句
式相似。例如：Were you at home the day before yesterday﹖前天你在家吗？
Was she late this morning﹖今天早上她迟到了吗？
更巧的是疑问句的答语也相似，肯定回答用“Yes, 主语＋was／were．”；
否定回答用“No,主语＋wasn't／weren't．”。
例如：—Were Wei Hua and Han Mei here just now﹖刚才魏华和韩梅在这儿吗？
—Yes, they were．(No, they weren't．) 是的，她们在。（不，她们不在。）一、单项选择：从下列各题后所给的四个选项中选择最佳答案填空。(10)
