3 notation Edition The past is not difficult, the past action, the state of mind. Verbs should be used in the past tense, time-like sentences end station. The negative sentence is very simple, didn ' t stand before the original, the other parts do not change. The general question sentence is changed, did put in the sentence before, the subject, the original, the other parts in turn stand. The special question sentence is also simple, the question Word adds the general question sentence to remember Heart. The last one, please note that the verb past tense to remember! [1]4 Usage edits (1) The past is usually expressed in the past at a certain time, it can also indicate the past habitual, regular action. Generally do not emphasize the effect of the action, only the things that explain.
sentence:Subject + verb past tense + object + other I had a word with Julia this morning. I said a few words to Julia this morning. He smoked many cigarettes a day until he gave up. He did not quit smoking and smoked smoked many. (2) often used in the past with the expression of the past time adverbial or clause, such as: Yesterday,last week, in the past, in 1993,at that time,once,during the War,before,a day A Go,when and so on.
NoteWhen it comes to the circumstances of a deceased person, use the past more. He is dead in 1990. (3) The past is used when a continuous action is taken. In this case, there is often no representation of the past time adverbial, but is expressed through the context. The boy opened he eyes for a moment,looked at the Captain,and then died. The man opened his eyes for a moment, looked at the captain, and died. (4) indicates a regular or repetitive action over a period of time. Often used with always,never and so on. Mrs Peter always carried an umbrella. Mrs. Peters used to carry an umbrella. (Just a description of her past movements does not indicate whether she often wears an umbrella.) ）
CompareMrs Peter always carries an umbrella with an umbrella. (It was her habit to show that she was still accustomed to always carrying an umbrella) Mrs. Peter is always the carrying an umbrella. Mrs. Peter often wears an umbrella. (means that the speaker is bored with this action or behavior) I never drank wine. I never drank before. (not to indicate whether to drink alcohol) (5) If you emphasize the habit that has been terminated, use used to do (which used to be done, not done) he used to drink alcohol. He used to drink. (which means he doesn't drink.) Drinking this action terminated) I used to taking a walk in the morning. I used to walk in the morning. (meaning not to take a walk in the morning) Eddle bought a bicycle three days ago. Eddle bought a bicycle three days ago.
Compare:I took a walk in the morning. I used to take a walk in the morning. (Just a description of the past action) (6) Some sentences, although not the adverbial of the past to determine the time, but actually refers to the past action or the state of existence, but also to use the past, this point, we Chinese students are often wrong, to pay special attention! I didn ' t know you were in Paris. I didn't know you were in France. (I already knew you were in Paris, because I was talking.) This sentence refers to speaking before, so can only be used to express the past. In fact, this phrase implies: But now I know you is here.) I thought you were ill. I thought you were sick. I thought you were sick before I said anything. But I know you're not sick now. [1]5 time adverbial editor 1. Yesterday (morning,afternoon,evening) 2. The day before Yesterday3. Last night (Week,sunday,weekend,month,winter,year,century century) 4. Ago5. This morning/afternoon/evening6. When to guide the adverbial clause (verb past tense) 7. Just now8. The other day – a few days ago.9. At the ages of 10 (past age) 10. In the old Days11. At that Time12. At that moment6 general form editing 1. The general past tense of the be verb. Using the be verb in a sentence without a literal verb, the past tense of AM is the was; The past style of IS were. Composition: Affirmative sentence: Subject +was (were) + predicative such as: I was late yesterday. (I was late yesterday.) Negative sentence: Subject +was (were) +not+ predicative such as: We weren ' t late yesterday. (We were not late yesterday) "note": When the sentence contains a was,were verb, it can be directly after the addition of not constitute a negative sentence. For example: I was on the interntwhen you called me. When you called me, I was surfing the internet. →:i is Not/wasn ' t on the Internet time you called me. I'm not surfing the internet when you call me. Question: Was (were) + subject + predicative when the predicate verb in advance and directly or indirectly express attention to the temporal special question: special interrogative words +was (were) + subject + predicative 2. The general past tense of a practical verb must use the past style of the verb, and the negative and interrogative sentences should use the auxiliary verbs do and does. Negative sentence: The subject +didn ' t + verb original + object interrogative sentence: did + subject + verb prototype + object 3. The verb and modal verbs used in the past tense are as follows: Shall―should (Will) for the first person singular will―would (will) for all person can-could (can, will) May―might (CAN) Must―must (must) have To―had to (obliged) the past tense of the auxiliary verb and modal verbs is to use their past style, and the latter verb also uses the prototype. such as: I had to do my homework yesterday. I had to do my homework yesterday. ) [1]7 Grammar explanation editor The past is also known as the simple past. Example A:MR. Smith bought a new car yesterday. (Mr. Smith bought a bike yesterday.) Example B:they were here only a few minutes ago. (They were here a few minutes ago.) In general, the past tense is used as follows: The most obvious phenomenon in the past is that it is often modified by adverbs or adverb phrases that express the past time (such as the italic part of each example). These adverbs commonly used to modify the general past are: Yesterday,yesterday morning (afternoon,evening), just now, before (formerly), then (at time), Las T + time (e.g. last week,month,year,monday, ...) January, ... spring,...,etc.), that's + time (like that day,afternoon,summer,...,etc.), Time + ago (e.g. a few minutes Ago,two weeks ago,years ago, ... etc.) the concept of "past" is not just referring to "Yesterday,last week, ... "And so on, in fact," the opposite of the past ", that is," before the present ", even if it is" a few minutes before the talk time ", as long as the time to express and the" present "in the speech of the confrontation, you must use the general past when the expression. For example: He was here only a few minutes ago. (He's here just a few minutes ago.) ) I came home just now. (I just got back home.) In Item A We explain "this + time, today,etc." Adverbs of time are often used to modify the present time, but in reality it is necessary to use the general past as long as it is opposed to the present in speech. For example: I got up very early this morning. (I got up early this morning.) He is late for school again today. (He's late again.) ）

3) General past tense usage: 1. The action that happened in the past. For example: The police stopped me on my home to the last night.2. The state of past existence. For example: they weren ' t able to come because they were so busy.3. Commonly used in the past when the adverbial: Yesterday,three months ago,last year,in 1979,once upon a time (long ago), long Ago,then (then) and so on. Analysis of examples: extrapolate, learn more easily! 1. Mott is out. But he ____ here a few minutes ago. A. was B. is C. 'll be D. Would be parsing: the actions that took place a few minutes ago should be used in the general past. Mayors a,2. ---hi,tom.---hello,fancy. I ___ You were here. A.don ' t know B.won ' t think C. Think D. didn ' t know parsing: Although there is no definite time adverbial in the sentence, it can be judged by the contextual context that I did not know before I said it, but now I know that the action of the expression should use the past tense. So choose D. 3. He promised to the me by himself when I ___. A. Come B. would come C. came D. Had come analysis: in the adverbial clauses of time, the past is used to denote the future. Should choose c. [1]8 Skill editing A change: positive sentence into a negative sentence "skill 1" when the sentence contains modal verbs or auxiliary verbs could,would,should, etc., can be directly behind it and not constitute a negative sentence. For example: I could get you a concert ticket. →i could not/couldn ' t get you a concert ticket. "Tip 2" when the sentence contains the verb was,were, it is possible to add not a negative sentence directly after it. For example: I was in the Internet when you called me. →i was not/wasn ' t on the Internet time you called me. "Tip 3" when the predicate in a sentence is a verb other than the modal verb, the auxiliary verb, and the verbs was,were, the verb is preceded by the did Not/didn ' t, and the verbs The original, constitute a negative sentence. For example: The famous singer sang some Chinese songs. →the famous singer did not/didn ' t sing any Chinese songs. Two change: The statement sentence becomes the general question "skill 1" the position of the moving word. Move the was,were,could,would,should to the beginning of the sentence. For example: He could pack his things himself. →could He pack his things himself? "Tip 2" add auxiliary verbs did. The predicate is a verb other than the modal verb, the auxiliary verb, and the was,were verbs, before the subject is added did, and the verb is restored. For example: Mr Li looked very old. →did Mr Li Look very: The statement becomes a special question "Tip 1" Determines the question: person Who/whom, what, where, where, when when/what time, reason why, frequency how often, length how Lon G, distance how far and so on. For example: They gave the concert last night. →when did they give the concert? "Tip 2" identify structural forms: interrogative words + modal verbs/auxiliary verbs/was/were/did + subject + ...? For example: The accident happened near the station. →wherE Did the accident happen some irregular changes: Do>did see>saw make>made take>took eat>ateread>read put>put get >got Hear>heard feel>feltis/am---was is---were teach---taught catch---caughtbuy---bought go---went Come---came become---became [1]
