浅谈英语一般过去时的用法
一．动词形式
一律用动词的过去式。
二．用法
一般过去时通常与表示过去具体时间的时间状语如in 1990, last week, two years ago, yesterday, yesterday afternoon, the day before yesterday, later（后来，过后），two years later(after two years)等连用，表示在过去发生的事情或存在的状态。其主要用法具体如下：
㈠ 表示主语过去经常性的或习惯性的动作，或者过去经常发生的事情。
例：1）He usually got up at six in the morning last year.
2）There was an exam last week.
㈡ 表示主语过去的性格/性质、状态、特征、身份、能力等（即：性状特身能）。 例：1）I liked sports. I thought sports were interesting.
2）He was at home yesterday. He was ill.
3）He looked like his father. He was a bit heavy.
4）Her father was a doctor. And her mother was a teacher.
5）He could speak English two years ago. And he spoke English well.
三．动词过去式的构成分规则和不规则2类
㈠ 规则动词过去式的构成和发音
—— ①直接加；②变y为i加；③双写加。具体如下：
① 一般情况下，直接在动词原形后加-ed。-ed在清辅音后发[-t]，如worked；
在浊辅音和元音后发[-d]，如played；在t和d后发[-ed], 如want, needed.
原词尾有e时，只加-ed, 如hope---hoped; use---used; live---lived等。
② 以“辅音字母+y”结尾的，变y为i再加-ed。-ed发[-d]，如study—studied;
carry---carried.
③ 有些动词需要双写最后一个辅音字母，再加-ed. 如stop---stopped;
shop---shopped; plan---planned.
㈡ 不规则动词过去式（八年级教材后附录中有不规则动词表）。应单独记忆熟！
