当我们要描述过去的状态或叙述过去发生的事情时,就要用到一般过去时。
一般过去时(一)
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。
动词be (is, am, are) 的过去式
原形 am is are
过去式 was was were
下面让我们一起来看一下其具体用法:
1) 肯定句:主语+was / were+表语+其他。如:
He was in a bank a moment ago.
刚才他在银行。
They were at home last night.
昨晚他们在家。
2)否定句:在was / were后直接加not即可变为否定句,即:主语+was / were+not+表语 +其他。如:
Han Mei and Wei Hua were not in the classroom just now.
韩梅和魏华刚才不在教室里。
注意:was not = wasn’t;
were not = weren’t。
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?
对一般疑问句的回答,其肯定形式用“Yes, 主语(代词)+was / were.”;
其否定形式用“No, 主语(代词)+wasn’t / weren’t.”。
— Was she late this morning?
她今天早上迟到了吗?
— Yes, she was. / No, she wasn’t.
是的,她迟到了。/ 不,她没迟到。
— Were they at your party last night?
昨晚他们在你的聚会上吗?
— Yes, they were. / No, they weren’t.
是的,他们在。/不,他们不在。
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)。
1. I ______ at school just now.
2. He ______ at the ca
