In this video, I will introduce the past simple English tense.

在本視頻中，小編將為大家介紹過去簡單的英語時態。

This grammar tense can help you explain a past general state, action, or habit.

這個文法時態可以幫助你解釋過去的一般狀態、動作或習慣。

There's a lot to learn and it's a very important tense, so keep watching.

要學的東西很多，而且是一個很重要的時態，所以要繼續觀察。

In this video, I will talk about the 'be' verb

在這個視頻中，我將講述'be'這個動詞。

in the past simple tense.

用過去簡單時態。

The 'be' verb in the past simple tense can be used to describe a past general state.

過去簡單時態的'被'動詞可以用來描述過去的一般狀態。

We use the 'be' verbs, 'was' and 'were' in this tense.

我們在這個時態中使用'是'動詞，'是'和'是'。

Take a look at the examples.

看看這些例子吧。

'I was scared.'

'我很害怕。

'James', or he 'was a teacher.'

'詹姆斯'，或者他'是個老師'。

'She was sad.'

'她很傷心。

'My dog was hungry.'

'我的狗餓了'。

'My dog' can be 'it'.

'我的狗'可以是'它'。

So for 'I', 'he', 'she', 'it', we use the past tense 'be' verb, 'was'.

所以對於'我'，'他'，'她'，'它'，我們用過去式'be'動詞，'是'。

However, for 'you', 'we' and 'they', we use 'were'.

但是，對於 "你"、"我們 "和 "他們"，我們用 "曾經"。

'You were a good student.'

'你是個好學生。

'Your parents, or they were at the park.' and 'We were at home for two hours.'

'你父母，或者他們在公園。"和 "我們在家裡呆了兩個小時。

In this last sentence, you see that the duration is emphasized.

在最後這句話中，你看強調的是持續時間。

Great job.

幹得好

Let's move on.

讓我們繼續前進。

Now I will talk about regular verbs in the past simple tense.

現在我說說過去簡單時態的常規動詞。

Take a look at these examples.

看看這些例子吧。

'Liam played a game.'

'利亞姆玩了個遊戲。

Liam is a 'he',

連姆是個 "他"。

but really it doesn't matter for regular verbs in the past simple tense.

但其實對於過去簡單時態的普通動詞來說，這並不重要。

Because no matter what the subject is, all we have to do is add 'd' or 'ed'

因為不管是什麼主題，我們只要加上 "d "或 "ed "就可以了。

to the end of the verb.

到動詞的末尾。

Here the verb is 'play', so I added '-ed'.

這裡的動詞是'玩'，所以我加了'-ed'。

'Liam played a game.'

'利亞姆玩了個遊戲。

'The car, or it needed gas.'

'這車，還是需要加油的。

The verb here is 'need'.

這裡的動詞是'需要'。

For the past simple tense, I added '-ed'.

對於過去的簡單時態，我加了'-ed'。

'We watched a movie.'

'我們看了一場電影。

Again, an 'ed' at the of 'watch'.

同樣，在 "表 "的後面加一個 "ed"。

'You exercised for an hour.'

'你運動了一個小時。

In this case, the verb is 'exercise'.

在這種情況下，動詞是 "鍛鍊"。

I only need to add a 'd' to make it the past tense.

我只需要加一個 "d "就可以成為過去式。

And finally, 'They usually worked after school.'

最後，'他們通常在放學後工作'。

The verb is 'work'.

動詞是'工作'。

And I added an 'ed' to make it in the past tense.

我還加了一個 "ed"，使之成為過去式。

The word 'usually' shows that this was a habit.

從 "通常 "二字可以看出，這是一種習慣。

Remember, the past simple tense can be used to show past habits.

記住，過去的簡單時態可以用來表現過去的習慣。

Let's move on.

讓我們繼續前進。

Now, I'll talk about irregular verbs in the past simple tense.

現在，我就說說過去簡單時態的不規則動詞。

Remember, for regular verbs, we only add 'd' or 'ed' to make a verb into the past tense.

記住，對於普通動詞，我們只需加'd'或'ed'就可以使動詞變成過去式。

However, for irregular verbs, we have to change the verb in a different way.

但是，對於不規則的動詞，我們要換一種方式。

Let's take a look at some examples.

我們來看看一些例子。

'I ate with my friend.'

'我和朋友一起吃的。

The verb here is 'ate'.

這裡的動詞是 "吃"。

'ate' is the past simple tense of 'eat'.

'吃'是'吃'的過去簡單時態。

The next example says, 'Nara wrote a story.'

下例說：'奈良寫了一個故事'。

The verb is 'write'.

動詞是'寫'。

And because it's irregular to change it into the past tense, we change the verb to 'wrote'.

而且因為改成過去式是不規範的，所以我們把動詞改成'寫'。

'You often came home late.'

'你經常很晚才回家'。

The verb here is 'come' and it's been changed to 'came'.

這裡的動詞是'來'，已經改成了'來了'。

You'll notice that we had the word 'often' to show a habit.

你會注意到，我們有 "經常 "這個詞來表示一種習慣。

'We bought a camera.'

'我們買了一臺相機。

The verb here is 'buy' and it's been changed to 'bought' to show the past simple tense.

這裡的動詞是'買'，已經改成了'買了'，以顯示過去簡單時態。

And finally, 'My parents sent me money for a year.'

最後，"我父母給我寄了一年的錢"。

Here the verb 'sent' is the past tense of 'send'.

這裡的動詞'送'是'送'的過去式。

Here we also see 'for a year', this shows duration.

在這裡，我們還看到了'一年'，這表明了期限。

Let's move on.

讓我們繼續前進。

Now I will talk about the negative form for the 'be' verb in the past simple tense.

現在我說說過去簡單時態中'被'動詞的否定形式。

Here are some examples.

下面是一些例子。

The first one says, 'I was not hungry.'

第一個說，'我不餓'。

For the past simple tense, the negative 'be' verb

對於過去的簡單時態，消極的 "be "動詞。

I f the subject is 'I', 'he', 'she' or 'it', we say 'was not'.

如果主語是 "我"、"他"、"她 "或 "它"，我們說 "不是"。

For example, 'I was not' or 'she was not' or the contraction 'wasn't'.

例如，'我不是'或'她不是'或收縮詞'不是'。

'I wasn't'.

'我不是'。

'She wasn't'.

'她不是'。

So let's look again, 'I was not hungry.'

所以我們再來看，'我不餓'。

'She wasn't home today.'

'她今天不在家。

Now, if the subject is 'you', 'we' or 'they',

現在，如果主語是 "你"、"我們 "或 "他們"。

We say 'were not' or the contraction 'weren't'.

我們說'不是'，或者說'不是'的收縮詞。

'The children, or they were not quiet.'

'孩子們，還是不安靜。

'The children were not quiet.'

'孩子們都不安靜'。

And then, 'The dog', or it was not, or 'wasn't playful.'

然後，'狗'，還是沒有，還是'不愛玩'。

Let's move on.

讓我們繼續前進。

Now, let's talk about how to form the negative in the past simple tense for non-'be' verbs,

現在，我們來談談如何在過去簡單時態中對非'be'動詞進行否定的形式。

regular or irregular.

定期或不定期。

Here are some examples.

下面是一些例子。

'I did not like him.'

'我不喜歡他。

What we do for non-'be' verbs is simply put 'did not' after the subject.

對於非'be'動詞，我們的做法只是在主語後面加上'沒有'。

And you'll notice that for the verb, we don't make any changes.

你會發現，對於動詞，我們沒有做任何改動。

We keep the base verb.

我們保留基礎動詞。

'He didn't catch the ball.'

'他沒有接球。

Again, it's 'he did not', but here we used a contraction,

同樣是'他沒有'，但這裡我們用了一個縮句。

'He didn't catch the ball.'

'他沒有接球。

'They didn't dance.'

'他們沒有跳舞。

Again, here's the contraction for 'did not'.

再來，這裡是'沒有'的縮略語。

And you'll notice that for the verb, we didn't change it at all.

而且你會注意到，對於動詞，我們根本就沒改。

Here's an irregular verb, and here's a regular verb, we keep them in the base form.

這裡是一個不規則動詞，這裡是一個規則動詞，我們把它們保留在基本形式中。

And finally, 'We didn't think about that.'

最後，"我們沒有想到這一點。

Again, we simply say 'did not' or 'didn't'.

同樣，我們只說'沒有'或'沒有'。

Let's move on.

讓我們繼續前進。

Now I will introduce two ways to form questions for the past simple tense.

現在我將介紹兩種過去簡單時態的組題方法。

Take a look at the first example.

看看第一個例子。

'He was angry.'

'他很生氣。

In this first sentence, we see the 'be' verb 'was'.

在這第一句話中，我們看到'被'動詞'是'。

It's quite easy.

這很容易。

All you have to do to turn this into a question is switch the order the first two words.

要想把這道題變成一道題，你要做的就是把前兩個詞的順序換一下。

'Was he angry?'

'他生氣了嗎？

You can answer by saying 'Yes, he was.' or 'No, he wasn't.'

你可以說 "是的，他是 "或 "不，他不是 "來回答。

The next sentence also has a 'be' verb.

下句也有一個'被'字動詞。

'They were comfortable.'

'他們很舒服'。

So again, switch the first two words.

所以又把前兩個字換了。

'Were they comfortable?'

'他們舒服嗎？

The answers can be, 'Yes, they were.'

答案可以是："是的，他們是。

or 'No, they weren't.'

或 "不，他們不是。

However, look at the third sentence.

然而，請看第三句。

'Sam lived here.'

"山姆住在這裡。

There is no 'be' verb in this sentence.

這句話中沒有'被'字動詞。

Instead, we see the action verb 'lived'.

相反，我們看到的是動作動詞'住'。

So what we do is no matter what the subject,

所以我們做的是不管什麼題材。

we start the question with 'did'.

我們以'做'開始提問。

'Did Sam live here?'

'山姆住在這裡嗎？

You'll notice that the verb no longer is in the past tense.

你會注意到，這個動詞不再是過去式。

We use the base form of the verb.

我們用動詞的基本形式。

'Did Sam live here?'

'山姆住在這裡嗎？

You can say 'Yes, he did.'

你可以說'是的，他做到了'。

or 'No, he didn't.'

或 "不，他沒有。

The last sentence is similar.

最後一句話也是類似的。

'They won the contest last year.'

'他們去年贏得了比賽。

The verb here is 'won', that's not a 'be' verb.

這裡的動詞是'贏'，那不是'被'動詞。

So again, we start the question with 'did' .

所以，我們再一次以 "做 "開始提問。

And then the subject 'they', we use the base form of the verb and that's 'win'.

然後主語'他們'，我們用動詞的基本形式，那就是'贏'。

'Did they win the contest last year?'

'去年的比賽他們贏了嗎?

You can say, 'Yes, they did.'

你可以說，'是的，他們做到了'。

or 'No, they didn't.'

或 "不，他們沒有。

Let's move on.

讓我們繼續前進。

Now I'll introduce how to create an answer WH questions in the past simple tense.

現在小編就為大家介紹一下如何用過去的簡單時態來製作答案WH題。

Take a look at the board.

看一下板子。

We have some WH words here.

我們這裡有一些WH的話。

'What' 'When'

什麼 "什麼時候"？

'Where' and 'Why'

"在哪裡 "和 "為什麼

You'll notice that after each WH word comes the word 'did'.

你會發現，每個WH字後面都有一個 "做 "字。

'What did' 'When did'

"什麼""什麼時候"。

'Where did' and 'Why did'.

'哪裡做了'和'為什麼做了'。

What comes after that the subject and then the base form of the verb.

之後是主語，然後是動詞的基本形式。

So, let's take a look.

那麼，我們來看看。

'What did you do last night?'

'你昨晚做了什麼？

'What did you do last night?'

'你昨晚做了什麼？

I can answer by saying something like, 'I watched a movie.'

我可以用 "我看了一部電影 "這樣的話來回答。

Or 'I read a book.'

或者'我讀了一本書'。

You'll notice that the answer is in the past simple tense.

你會注意到，答案是過去簡單時態。

'When did you get home last night?'

'你昨晚什麼時候回來的？

'I got home at 10 p.m.'

'我晚上10點到家'。

'Where did they eat lunch?'

'他們在哪裡吃的午飯？

'They ate lunch at home.'

'他們在家裡吃了午飯。

Again, 'ate' is the past tense of 'eat'.

同樣，'吃'是'吃'的過去式。

Answer in the past simple tense.

用過去簡單時態回答。

And finally, 'Why did the company hire him?'

最後，"公司為什麼要聘用他？

'The company hired him because he's a hard worker.'

'公司聘請他是因為他是個勤奮的人。

Let's move on.

讓我們繼續前進。

In this first checkup, we'll take a look at

在這次的第一次檢查中，我們將看一下。

practice questions using the 'be' verb in the past simple tense.

使用過去簡單時態的'be'動詞的練習題。

Remember the 'be' verbs in the past simple tense are 'was' or 'were'.

記住過去簡單時態中的'be'動詞是'was'或'were'。

Let's take a look at the first sentence.

我們來看看第一句話。

'He __ at work earlier.'

'他早些時候在工作。

The subject here is 'we'.

這裡的主體是'我們'。

So do we use 'was' or 'were'?

那麼我們是用 "曾經 "還是 "曾經 "呢？

The correct answer is 'was'.

正確答案是 "是"。

'He was at work earlier.'

'他剛才在工作。

The next sentence says,

下句說。

'We _____ very happy yesterday.'

'我們_____，昨天非常高興。

If the subject is 'we', remember the be verb is 'were'.

如果主語是'我們'，記住be動詞是'是'。

'We were very happy yesterday.'

'我們昨天很高興。

Next, 'My parents or they __ worried about me.'

接下來，'我的父母或者他們__擔心我'。

If it's 'they', remember we have to say 'were'.

如果是 "他們"，記得我們要說 "是"。

'My parents were worried about me.'

'我父母很擔心我。

If I want to use the negative, I can also say 'My parents weren't worried about me.'

如果我想用否定句，我也可以說'我的父母不擔心我'。

And that's possible.

而這是可能的。

Now I want you to find the mistake in the next sentence.

現在我要你找出下一句話中的錯誤。

'We wasn't good students.'

'我們不是好學生。

We wasn't good students.

我們不是好學生。

Can you figure out what's wrong?

你能弄清楚是什麼問題嗎？

The subject here is 'we', so we don't say 'was not'.

這裡的主語是'我們'，所以我們不說'是不'。

We need to say 'were not' or the contraction 'weren't'.

我們需要說'不是'，或者說'不是'的收縮詞。

'We weren't good students,' is the correct answer.

'我們不是好學生'是正確答案。

The next one says, 'Were she a teacher?'

下一個人說："她是老師嗎?

Now, this is a question so the be verb comes at the beginning.

現在，這是一個問題，所以be動詞在開頭。

That's correct, but the subject here is 'she'.

沒錯，但這裡的主體是 "她"。

Therefore, we need to start with 'was'.

是以，我們需要從'是'開始。

'Was she a teacher?'

'她是老師嗎？

And finally,

最後是：

'They wasn't at school.'

'他們不在學校。

The subject is 'they', so the answer is

主語是'他們'，所以答案是

'They weren't at school.'

'他們不在學校'。

You can use the contraction 'weren't' or 'were not'.

你可以用 "不是 "或 "不是 "的收縮詞。

Let's move on to the next checkup.

我們繼續進行下一次檢查。

Now, let's practice regular verbs in the past simple tense.

現在，我們來練習過去簡單時態的常規動詞。

Take a look at the first sentence.

看看第一句話。

'He ____ at home.'

'他____，在家裡。

The verb is 'study'.

動詞是'研究'。

Remember, when changing a regular verb into

記住，當把普通動詞改成

the past tense, we add 'd' or 'ed' to the end of the

過去式，我們在後面加上'd'或'ed'。

verb.

動詞

However, there's a separate rule for words that end in 'y'.

但是，對於以 "y "結尾的詞，還有一條單獨的規則。

Such as, 'study'.

如，'學習'。

We drop the 'y' and we add 'ied'.

我們去掉 "y"，加上 "ied"。

So the correct answer is,

所以正確答案是：

'He studied at home.'

'他在家裡學習。

The next sentence says, 'We __ pencils.'

下一句說："我們__鉛筆"。

We want to use negative because it says 'not use'.

我們要用負數，因為上面寫著 "不用"。

Remember for the negative, we always use 'did not', no matter what the subject.

記住，對於否定句，無論什麼主語，我們都要用 "沒有"。

You can also use the contraction 'didn't'.

你也可以用 "沒有 "這個收縮詞。

Now, what do we do to the verb?

現在，我們怎麼處理這個動詞？

We keep it as 'is'.

我們保持它的 "本色"。

We do not change it.

我們不改變它。

'We didn't' or 'We did not' use pencils.

'我們沒有'或'我們沒有'用鉛筆。

The next sentence says, 'His friends or they walk to the gym.'

下一句說，'他的朋友們或他們走到健身房去'。

What's the past tense of 'walk'?

'走'的過去式是什麼？

We simply have to add 'ed' because it's a regular verb.

我們只要加上'ed'就可以了，因為它是一個常規動詞。

'His friends walked to the gym.'

'他的朋友們走到了體育館。

Now, find a mistake in the next sentence.

現在，在下一句話中找出一個錯誤。

'She didn't likes math.'

'她不喜歡數學。

'didn't' is correct.

'沒有'是正確的。

However, remember we keep the verb as 'is' in the base form.

但是，請記住，我們在基本形式中保持動詞為'是'。

So we don't say 'likes'.

所以我們不說 "喜歡"。

We say 'like'.

我們說 "喜歡"。

'She didn't like math.'

'她不喜歡數學。

The next sentence says, 'Did it rained this morning?'

下句說："今天早上下雨了嗎？

Now this is a question.

現在這是一個問題。

In a question, it's right to start the sentence with 'Did'.

在一個問題中，用 "難道 "開頭的句子是對的。

'Did it rained?'

'下雨了嗎？

Do you notice the mistake?

你注意到這個錯誤了嗎？

Remember, we do not use the past tense form in the question.

記住，我們在問題中不要用過去時的形式。

We use the base form of the verb.

我們用動詞的基本形式。

'Did it rain this morning?'

'今天早上下雨了嗎？

And finally, 'They not play the piano.'

最後，"他們不彈鋼琴"。

The verb is an action verb.

這個動詞是一個動作動詞。

So we need a 'did' in front of 'not'.

所以我們需要在 "不是 "前面加上一個 "做過"。

'They did not play the piano.'

'他們沒有彈琴。

Let's move on to the next checkup.

我們繼續進行下一次檢查。
