一、一般过去时的概念：
一般过去时表示过去某个时间发生的动作或存在的状态，
常和表示过去的时间状语连用，如：last year, yesterday, in 1990, two days ago等；也可表示过去经常反复发生的动作，常和often, always等频率副词连用。
例如①I saw him in the street yesterday. 昨天我在街上看见他了。
②Li Mei always went to school on foot last year. 去年李梅总是步行上学。
二、一般过去时的构成：
1.b e动词的一般过去时的构成：
第一人称单数和第三人称单数用was, 其余人称用were
例如：①I was ten years old at that time.

②以不发音的字母e结尾的动词，直接加d。
如：live---lived close---closed dance---danced
③末尾只有一个辅音字母的重读闭音节，先双写这个辅音字母，再加e d。
如：stop---stopped shop---shopped prefer---preferred
④末尾是辅音字母加y结尾的动词，先变y为i，然后再加e d。
如study---studied
try---tried
(2) 不规则动词的过去式需特殊记忆。
如am(is)---was
are---were
go---went
come---came
take---took
have(has)---had
