语法 Grammar in use
一般过去时(2)
(请参见 Lessons 67~68语法部分。)
be动词以外的动词在一般过去时中一般有两种形式。规则动词一般是在动词后面加-ed,如 answered;以-e结尾的规则动词加-d,如 telephoned, arrived。另一部分动词的过去式拼写不规则,因此称为不规则动词,如:say----said, do----did。
用一般过去时的句子中常常有表示过去某一时刻的时间状语,如本课中的 yesterday(昨天),the day before yesterday(前天),yesterday morning(昨天上午),yesterday afternoon(昨天下午),yesterday evening(昨天晚上),last night(昨夜)。
