壹般過去時態由動詞的過去式表示。大多數動詞的過去式是在動詞原形後加上ed構成。這類動詞稱為規則動詞。
1） 壹般情況下在詞尾直接加ed。 如：play―played work―worked 2） 以e結尾的動詞只加d. 如：like--- liked love―loved
3） 以輔音字母+Y結尾的動詞，變Y為I，再加ed. 如：study―studied carry―carried
4） 以重讀閉音節結尾的動詞，如果末尾只有壹個輔音字母，要雙寫最後這個輔音字母，再加ed. 如：stop―stopped --ed的讀音規則如下：
i. 在清輔音後面讀[t]。 如：work―worked help―helped ii. 在濁輔音或元音後讀[d]。 如：learn―learned
iii. 在[t] 和[d] 後讀[id]。 如：support―supported （支持）
5） 不以ed 結尾的過去式，稱為不規則動詞,如： write（寫） --wrote

壹般過去時詳解與練習題
壹、巧記壹般過去時：
動詞壹般過去時，表示過去發生的事；be用was或用were, have,has變had； 謂語動詞過去式，過去時間作標誌；壹般動詞加-ed，若是特殊得硬記。 否定句很簡單，主語之後didn’t添；
疑問句也不難，did放在主語前； 不含be動詞時 如果謂語之前有did，謂語動詞需還原；
動詞若是was,were,否定就把not添。 含be動詞時 疑問句也不難，要把was，were放在主語前。
二、be的壹般過去時：學習動詞be的壹般過去時，下面有壹口訣，它可以幫妳們更好地掌 握動詞be的壹般過去時。 be的過去時有四巧： 壹是時間狀語巧， 表示過去的短語要記牢； 二是形式巧，單數was，復數were；
三巧是否定句結構，not緊跟was／were； 四是疑問句式巧，was／were向前跑(提前)。
壹巧時間狀語（即標誌詞）巧。壹般過去時表示過去發生的動作或存在的狀態，恰巧 與表示過去的壹些時間狀語連用。
二巧形式巧。它與壹般現在時壹樣，形式多樣：當主語是第壹人稱單數或第三人稱單 數時，謂語動詞用was；主語是第二人稱或其他人稱復數時，謂語動詞用were。 例如： I was in the classroom yesterday morning． 昨天早上我在教室裏。 He was at school last Tuesday． 上周二他在學校。 They were over there a moment ago． 剛才他們在那邊。
三巧否定句結構巧。與動詞be的壹般現在時壹樣，它在動詞後面加not即可變成否定 句，並且was, were與not可以縮寫成wasn't, weren't。即： 主語 ＋ wasn't／ weren't ＋ 表語 ＋ 其他。例如：
I was not (＝wasn't) here yesterday． 昨天我不在這兒。
My parents were not (＝weren't) at home last Sunday． 上周日我父母不在家。
四巧 疑問句式巧。把was, were提到句首，句末用問號即可變為壹般疑問句。即： Was(Were) ＋ 主語 ＋表語 ＋ 其他？這恰巧與動詞be的壹般現在時的疑問句
式相似。例如： Were you at home the day before yesterday﹖ 前天妳在家嗎？ Was she late this morning﹖今天早上她遲到了嗎？
更巧的是疑問句的答語也相似，肯定回答用“Yes, 主語＋was／were．”； 否定回答用“No,主語＋wasn't／weren't．”。
1. yesterday或以其構成的短語：yesterday morning(afternoon, evening)等； 2. 由“last+壹時間名詞”構成的短語：last night, last year (winter, month, week)等； 3. 由“時間段+ago”構成的短語：a moment ago, a short time ago, an hour ago等； 4. 其它：just now等 5. 由某些表示過去時態的從句等。

例如：—Were Wei Hua and Han Mei here just now﹖ 剛才魏華和韓梅在這兒嗎？ —Yes, they were． (No, they weren't．) 是的，她們在。（不，她們不在。）
