一般过去式的用法：一般过去式表示过去的动作和状态，通常一般过去式带有表示动作时间状语的词，词组或从句,如yesterday, the day before last, last week, two days ago 等,上下文清楚时可以不带时间状语。
I worked in that factory last year. 去年我在那一家工厂工作。
I met him yesterday. 昨天我碰见了他。
I went to the Tian Long Mountain yesterday.昨天我们去了天龙山。
一般过去式构成：表示一般过去式的动词通常用动词的过去式形式来表示，而动词的过去式是在动词原形的基础上变化的。
动词的过去式可分为规则动词和不规则动词。
a.规则动词的过去式变化如下：①一般情况下在动词原形后直接加-ed。
如：wanted，played, worked played ,acted, looked called opened needed。
②以不发音的字母e结尾的动词，去掉e再加-ed。
如：hoped，lived。
③以一个辅音字母结尾的重读闭音节动词，双写词尾辅音字母，再加-ed，如：stopped planned fitted④以辅音字母+y结尾的动词变y为i，再加-ed。
如：studied，worried, tried ,copied ,cried, carried。
以原音字母加y结尾的词，直接加-ed play enjoy stay played enjoyed stayed 规则动词过去式的读音也有规律可循。
请记住：清后[t]，元浊[d]，[t] [d]之后读[id]。
①清辅音[p] [k] [f] [s]等后，ed要读[t]。
如：worked，finished。
②元音或浊辅音[b] [g] [v] [z] [m]等后，ed要读[d]。
如：lived，called。
③[t]或[d]后，ed读[id]。
如：started，needed。
b.不规则动词变化不规则动词的过去式变化规律性不强，须多加记忆。
1．动词原形和过去式完全同形。
例：hurt（伤害）put（放）let（让）2．动词原形、过去式形式完全不同。
例：give（给）gave fly（飞）flew drink（喝）drank see（看见）saw go （去）went make - made get - got buy - bought come came know（知道）knew wear （穿）wore speak（说）spokebe动词过去式有两种形式，主语是第一、三人称单数形式使用was，其他人称用were6 现在分词的变化规则一般在动词原形词尾加-ing，go push play carry going pushing playing carrying以不发音的e结尾的动词，先去掉e,再加-ing take write leave taking writing leaving重读闭音节结尾的动词，如果词尾只有一个辅音字母，要将该辅音字母双写，再加-ing cut stop fit begin forget cutting stopping fitting beginning forgetting 以ie结尾的动词，要把ie改为y，再加-ing牛津英语6A英语语法(二) 一般过去时定义：表示过去某时发生的动作或存在的状态。
结构：“主语+动词的过去式”用法：1.表示过去某个时间发生的动作或存在的状态。

例：ask →asked /a:skt/, cook →cooked /kukt/, pass →passed /pa:st/,例：move →moved /mu:vd/, live →lived / livd/, listen →listened/`lisnd/, stay →stayed /steid/在/t/ /d/ 之后念/id/ , 即ed 在/t/ /d/ 音后面念/id/例：shout →shouted 去式与动词原形的拼写形式相同：let →let, put →put, read →read,(注意read的过去式读[red])b. i →a: begin →began, drink →drank, give →gave, ring →rang, sing →sang, sit →sat, swim →swamc. i →o: drive →drove, ride →rode, write →wroted. ow →ew: grow →grew, know →knew, throw →threwe. 含ough或augh的：bring →brought, buy →bought, think →thought；catch →caught, teach →taughtf. am is ---was are ---were do---did can---could come---came不规则动词的过去式平时出现要留心,逐个熟记,注意积累。
三. 句型转化：1．be 动词的过去时的句型如下：(1)否定句：主语+ be动词的过去式（was, were）+ not…(2)疑问句：be动词的过去式（was, were）+ 主语…was busy yesterday. (肯定句) 他昨天很忙。
was not busy yesterday. (否定句) 他昨天不忙。
he busy yesterday (疑问句) 他昨天忙吗weren’t any boys in the room.房间里没有男孩儿。
e. Were there any boys in the room 房间里有男孩儿吗2．行为动词的否定式和疑问式：(1)若肯定句中只有一个行为动词,那就得在行为动词前加上did not或缩略式didn’t,并把这个行为动词由过去式改为动词原形。
例如：a. I called Lin Tao yesterday afternoon. →I did not / didn’t call Lin Tao yesterday afternoon.b. I borrowed a book from Sun Yang last Sunday. →I didn’t borrow a book from Sun Yang last Sunday.(2) 行为动词的一般疑问句若在陈述句中只有行为动词的过去式,那就得在句首加上一个助动词did来帮助提问,然后把句中的行为动词由过去式改为动词原形,并在句末打上问号。
回答时别忘了还用did.例如：a. We stayed there for 10 days last month. →Did you stay there for 10 days last month Yes, we did. / No, we didn’t.b. Mary had a delicious dinner yesterday evening. →Did Mary have a delicious dinner yesterday evening Yes, she did. / No, she didn’t练习：一．用所给动词的适当形式填空。
