巧学动词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;
否定句结构是三巧,
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。例如:
yesterday, last night/ week/ month/ year, last Saturday, the day before yesterday, in 1998, five
years
ago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。)
