一般过去时态
用法一:过去发生的短暂动作或状态
一般过去时常表示在过去某一个特定的时间所发生的动作或存在的状态,此时常和表示过去的特定的时间状语连用。这些时间状语有:yesterday, yesterday evening , last night, the night before last,last year, last spring, three days/months/years ago等。
注意:这些时间状语之前不需加介词。
表示过去发生的动作:
I [saw ]him in the library [yesterday morning.]
I [began ]to learn English[ ten years ago.]
I [bought] this computer [three years ago.]
表示过去存在的状态:
He [was] late for school [this morning.]
I [was ]tired [last night,] so I [went] to bed early.
用法二:过去发生的重复或延续活动
除了表示短暂动作外,一般过去时还可以表示过去的一段时间内延续或重复的动作。
表示过去延续的活动:表示在过去的某一段时间内持续发生的动作,但这一动作现在已结束。
I [slept] for eight hours last night.
She [lived] in our town for three years, but now she is living Beijing.
I [lived] in our town for ten years.
He [worked ] in that dot-com company for one year, Now he is studying in America.
表示过去重复发生的活动:
I wrote a letter once a week to my family when I was in my first college year.
He used to do morning exercises.
He took a walk after supper when he was alive.
一般过去时与“for+时间段”连用,表示动作在过去已经结束,并没有延续到现在;而现在完成时与“for+时间段”连用,则表明动作延续到现在,并且还有可能延续下去。
如:
She lived in our town for three years.-一般过去时,这一动作现在已经结束,即现在不再住在这里。
She has lived in our town for three years.--现在完成时,表示动作一直延续到了现在,即现在还住在这里,而且往往还可能延续下去。因为表示事情延续到了现在,因此可以在时间状语for three years的后面添上一个now。但是一般过去时则不可以。
She has lived in our town for three years now。
