般过去时的用法一般过去时表示过去某个时间发生的动作或存在的状态，也表示过去经常或反复发生的动作。
谓语动词要用动词的过去式，常和表示过去的时间状语连用，女口：yesterday 昨天，last night 昨晚，last week 上周，last year 去年等。
一．一般过去时的结构（可分两类不同的结构）1. Be 动词的一般过去时在没有实义动词的句子中使用be 动词，am/is 的过去式为was ;are 的过去式were。
肯定句式：主语+be （was/were） + 其他.否定句式：主语+be （was/were） +not + 其他. 一般疑问句：Be （was/ were） + 主语+其他。
2. 实义动词的一般过去时态肯定句要使用动词的过去式，否定句和疑问句要使用助动词do/does 的过去式did.肯定句式：主语+动词（过去式）+ 其他。
否定句式：主语+ didn 't +动词（原形）+其他（did not= didn 't）一般疑问句：Did +主语+动词（原形）+ 其他（do, does 的过去式均为did）? 注： 1.did 和didn 't 是构成一般过去时的助动词，其特点是要在其后跟动词的原形。
