1. 一般过去时表示过去某一时间发生的动作或存在的状态,经常与表示过去的时间状语连用,如:yesterday,the day before yesterday,last week,last month,last year,a moment ago,just now,in 2014等。
2. 通过观察上面的例句我们发现动词be的过去式形式有两种:am,is的过去式为was; are的过去式为were。
3. 含动词be的一般过去时的各种句式:
1) 肯定句式:“主语+ was / were + 其他.”
2) 否定句式:“主语+ was / were + not +其他.”
3) 一般疑问句式:“ Was/ Were+主语 +其他?”
肯定回答为:“Yes, 主语+was / were.”
否定回答为:“No, 主语+wasn’t / weren’t.”

动词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;
三是否定句结构巧,not紧跟was/were;
四是疑问句式巧,was/were向前跑(提前)。
