If you're a beginner or intermediate level student,

如果你'是一個初級或中級的學生。

this is a really important lesson for you,

這是一個非常重要的教訓，你。

and that's because we're going to focus on the past simple tense,

那是因為我們要把重點放在過去簡單時態上。

and specifically on making questions or forming questions in the past simple tense.

並具體到用過去簡單時態做題或組題。

Now, why are these two areas specifically a little bit more challenging for students?

現在，為什麼這兩個方面對學生的挑戰特別大一點呢？

For two reasons. First of all, when we're talking about the past tense,

原因有二。首先，當我們'說到過去時。

it's a little bit more challenging because we have to deal with regular verbs and irregular verbs,

它'是一個有點更具挑戰性，因為我們必須處理常規動詞和不規則動詞。

and when we're talking about questions it's a little bit harder because we have to add some

和當我們'談論問題它'是一個有點困難，因為我們必須添加一些。

words when we form a question and we have to change other words. All right?

當我們形成一個問題，我們必須改變其他的單詞。好嗎？

And all of this we have to do quite a lot when we speak in English,

而這些我們在用英語說話的時候，都要做相當多的工作。

because most of the time when you speak in English

因為大多數時候，當你用英語說話的時候

or when you speak probably in any language,

或當你說可能用任何語言。

we tend to talk more about the past than about anything else.

我們傾向於談論過去，而不是其他任何事情。

So, certainly, when we speak in English, we use this tense very, very often.

所以，當然，當我們用英語說話的時候，我們會非常、非常頻繁地使用這個時態。

Okay? So, let's have a look at exactly how to make these changes

好嗎？那麼，讓我們來看看到底如何做出這些改變吧。

so that you can ask questions in the past simple tense very easily. Okay.

這樣你就可以很容易地用過去簡單時態提問了。好的，我知道了

So, first of all, let's look at the sentence. When we form a sentence using a regular verb

那麼，首先，我們來看看這個句子吧'。當我們用常規的動詞來組成一個句子時

in the past, so what we do is we take the base verb, which in this first case is "work",

在過去，所以我們要做的是，我們把基礎動詞，在第一種情況下是"工作"。

and we add "ed" or "d". Okay? If the verb already ends in "e", like "dance",

然後我們加上"ed"或"d"。好嗎？如果動詞已經以"e"結尾，比如"dance"。

then we just add a "d"; and if not, we add "ed".

那麼我們只需加上"d";如果沒有，我們就加上"ed"。

So: "He worked", right? "He worked",

所以："他工作了"，對嗎"他工作了"。

"work" becomes "worked". But what happens when we need to make the question? Two things.

"工作"變成了"工作"。但當我們需要做題時，會發生什麼呢？有兩件事。

First, you have to add this extra word: "Did".

首先，你要加上這個額外的詞："Did"。

Without that, your question, I guarantee you, will be wrong.

如果沒有這一點，你的問題，我保證你會錯。

It might be casual, it might be informal, but it will grammatically be incorrect.

它可能是隨意的，可能是非正式的，但它會在文法上是錯誤的。

So we need that word "Did" to form the question, and then we have to make another change.

所以我們需要那個詞"Did"來組成問題，然後我們還要再做一個改變。

We have to add this: "Did he work?"

我們要加上這句話："他工作了嗎&quot。

So what happened? Here, when we had the sentence, we had to

那麼發生了什麼？在這裡，當我們有了這句話，我們不得不。

write "ed", and we said: "He worked." But when we come back to the question,

寫"ed"，我們說："他的工作."但當我們回到問題。

we are coming back to the base form off the verb,

我們又回到了動詞的基本形式。

so we do not say: "Did he worked?"

所以我們不說："他工作了嗎&quot。

We just say: "Did he work?" All right?

我們只是說："他工作了嗎？"好嗎？

So try to get the rhythm of that. And I'll try to repeat

所以要儘量掌握好這個節奏。而我會試著重複

it for you, too, which you can then listen to and repeat after me. So, for example:

你也可以聽，然後跟著我重複。所以，舉個例子：

"He worked.", "Did he work?",

"他工作了."，"他工作了嗎"。

"She played.", "Did she play?",

"她玩了."，"她玩了嗎"。

"They visited.", "Did they visit?"

"他們參觀了."，"他們參觀了嗎&quot。

All right? You see? In each case, we have come back to the base form of the verb. So,

好嗎？明白了嗎？在每一種情況下，我們都回到了動詞的基本形式。那麼..,

do not say: "Did he worked?" Don't say: "He worked?" Try to use the entire expression:

不要說："他工作了嗎"不要說："他工作了嗎"儘量用完整的表達方式。

"Did he work?", "Did she play?", "Did they visit?" Okay?

"他工作了嗎"，"她玩了嗎"，"他們來過嗎"好嗎？

That's with regular verbs.

這'是用常規動詞。

Now, what happens when we have irregular verbs? Well, you have to learn a little bit more.

現在，當我們有不規則動詞時，會發生什麼？好吧，你要多學一點。

First, you have to learn: What is the past tense form to use with those irregular verbs?

首先，你要學會。那些不規則動詞的過去時形式是什麼？

So, for example, in this one, the verb itself is the verb "go".

所以，比如說，在這個裡面，動詞本身就是動詞"go"。

"I go." Or let's say: "He goes."

"我去."或者讓'說："他去.&quot。

But in the past, you have to know that the past tense form of "go" is "went".

但在過去，你要知道，"go"的過去時態形式是"去"。

All right? How do you know that? Well, you just have to learn it. Okay? There's no other way.

你怎麼知道的？你怎麼知道的？嗯，你只需要學習它。好嗎？沒有別的辦法

There's a list of irregular verbs, and then you have to learn them by heart, you probably

有'不規則動詞的列表，然後你必須把它們背下來，你可能會

know many of them because you hear them a lot, but otherwise, you have to learn them.

因為你經常聽到它們，所以知道很多，但除此之外，你必須學習它們。

There's not much choice, there. Okay?

沒有太多的選擇，有。好嗎？

So in the past: "He went." How do we make that into a question, and what happens?

所以過去："他去了."我們怎麼把它變成一個問題，會怎麼樣呢？

The same thing that happened up here with the regular verbs. So: "He went." becomes:

同樣的事情，在這裡也發生在常規動詞上。所以："他去了."變成了:

"Did he go?" All right? So let's see. "He went to the store."

他去了嗎? 好吧?所以讓我們看看。 "他去了商店.&quot。

When we ask the question, we say:

當我們提出這個問題時，我們說。

"Did he go to the store?" All right?

"他去商店了嗎？"好嗎？

So, again, we had to add the word "did", and

所以，我們又不得不加上了"did"這個詞，並且。

we have to come back to the base form of the verb, which in this case was "go". All right?

我們必須回到動詞的基本形式， 在這種情況下是"去"。好嗎？

Next one: "She saw him." for example.

下一個："她看到了他."比如。

Question: "Did she see him?"

問題："她看到他了嗎？&quot。

We add "did" and we come back to the base form of the verb: "see".

我們加上"did"就回到了動詞的基本形式："see"。

"We broke the bottle."

"我們打破了瓶子.&quot。

Question: "Did we break the bottle?"

問題："我們是不是打碎了瓶子？&quot。

We added "did" and we came back to the base form of the verb.

我們加上了"did"，我們又回到了動詞的基本形式。

I know you're going to get really tired of hearing me say that, but I'm saying that many times so that will

我知道你'會得到真正的厭倦聽我說，但我'說了很多次，所以將

help you to remember that we do come back to that in all cases;

幫助你記住，我們在任何情況下都會回到這一點。

with regular verbs or

用普通動詞或

irregular verbs. Okay? There is a pattern to it.

不規則動詞。好嗎？這是有規律可循的

"Did he go?",

"他去了嗎"。

"Did she see?",

"她看到了嗎"。

"Did we break?" Okay? Like that.

"我們打破了嗎"好嗎？像這樣。

Try to hear it, try to say it aloud as much as you can as well.

試著去聽，也儘量大聲說出來。

Now, there is another little challenge, because sometimes we're also using question words. Right?

現在，還有一個小挑戰，因為有時候我們'也在用疑問詞。對不對？

So, for example... First of all, what are the question words?

那麼，舉個例子...首先，問題詞是什麼？

"Who", "what", "when", "where", "why", "how", "how much", "how many", "how often",

"Who"，"What"，"When"，"Where"，"Why"，"How"，"How much"，"How many"，"How often"。

things like that. Okay? These are our question words.

這樣的事情。好嗎？這些是我們的問題詞。

So, how do we integrate or use these words along with our past simple questions?

那麼，我們如何將這些詞語與我們過去的簡單問題一起整合或使用呢？

So let's take the sentence first:

所以我們先來看看這句話吧'。

"He bought it." All right? Past tense of "buy" is "bought".

"他買了。"好嗎？"buy"的過去式是"買了"。

You need to learn that one. Now, if you want to ask the question... Use the question word

你需要學習的那一個。現在，如果你想問這個問題... ...就用這個問題詞

"where", so what happens? We keep this part-right?-that we learnt up here: "Did he buy it?"

"在哪裡"，那會怎麼樣呢？我們把這部分--對嗎--我們在這裡學到的："他買了嗎"。

That stays the same, but we need to add the word, let's say "Where" before it. So, the important thing

這保持不變，但我們需要在前面加上一個詞，比方說"Where"。所以，重要的是

to remember is: Even when we use that question word, we still have to use "did".

要記住的是。即使我們使用這個疑問詞， 我們仍然要使用"did"。

So we don't say: "Where he buy it?"

所以我們不說："他在哪裡買的&quot。

Or we do not say: "Where he bought it?"

或者我們不說："他在哪裡買的？&quot。

No. We have to say:

不，我們必須說。

"Where did he buy it?",

"他在哪裡買的？"。

"Where did he buy it?" Okay? In regular conversation, that's how it would sound.

"他在哪裡買的？"好嗎？在正常的對話中，這就是它的聲音。

"Where did he buy it?"

"他是在哪裡買的？

"She left." All right? Now we want to say: "When?"

"她離開了."好嗎？現在我們想說："什麼時候？&quot。

So it becomes: "When did she leave?",

於是就變成了："她什麼時候走的？"。

"When did she leave?" All right?

"她什麼時候走的？"好嗎？

So the most important thing is you're keeping this construction

所以，最重要的是你'保持這種建設。

of: "Did she leave?" like we saw up here, but you're just adding the question word

的："她離開了嗎？"就像我們在上面看到的那樣，但你&39;只是加了一個疑問詞而已。

right before it. All right?

就在它之前。好嗎？

Last one: "They returned."

最後一個："他們回來了.&quot。

And you want to say: "Why?" You want to ask: Why? So it becomes:

你想說："為什麼？"你想問：為什麼？於是就變成了："為什麼？

"Why did they return?" Okay?

"他們為什麼要回來？"好嗎？

Again, we have the form: "Did they return?"

我們又有了形式："他們回來了嗎？&quot。

and we just added the question word "Why" before it.

而我們只是在前面加上了疑問詞"為什麼"。

In a minute when we come back, you'll have a chance to

在一分鐘內，當我們回來的時候，你將有機會到

practice this a little bit more.

多練習一下。

So, we'll look at the sentence, and then you help me to fill in the question. Okay?

所以，我們'就看這句話，然後你幫我把問題填進去。好嗎？

Number one: "The client signed."

第一："客戶簽了.&quot。

Now, don't worry that in these examples I've purposely given

現在，不要擔心，在這些例子中，我已經特意給出了

you a few extra words. It doesn't matter if I said: "He signed." or "The client signed."

你多說幾句。如果我說："他簽了."或者"客戶簽了.&quot，這並不重要。

Or if I gave a simple verb like "worked", and this is a new verb, but it doesn't matter.

或者如果我給了一個簡單的動詞，如"工作"，這是一個新的動詞，但它並不重要&39;。

And even if you don't know the verb and even if you don't know the meaning, it doesn't

即使你不知道動詞，即使你不知道意思，它也不'。

matter. You know the principle, and so you can figure it out. Right? That's what I want

事。你知道原理，所以你可以弄清楚。對不對？這就是我想要的

you to be able to do. So even if you come across a word that you've never heard before,

你能夠做到的。所以，即使你遇到一個從未聽過的詞。

you can still apply what you've learned to figure it out. Okay? That's what we're doing now.

你還是可以運用你所學的知識來解決。好了嗎? 這就是我們現在要做的這就是我們現在要做的。

So: "The client signed." So, how do we make it into a question?

所以："客戶簽了字."那麼，我們怎麼把它變成一個問題呢？

"Did", right? So I've written that for you already:

"做了"，對嗎？所以我'已經幫你寫好了。

"Did the client", what happens here?

"難道客戶"，這裡發生了什麼？

This is a regular verb, so we added "ed".

這是一個常規動詞，所以我們加上了"ed"。

So what happens there? We go back to what?

那麼那裡發生了什麼？我們回到什麼地方？

The base form of the verb.

動詞的基本形式。

So: "Did the client sign?"

那麼："客戶簽字了嗎&quot。

For example: "Did the client sign the contract?" Okay?

比如："客戶籤合同了嗎"好嗎？

Next: "The President agreed." All right?

下一篇："主席同意了."好嗎？

This was an example of a verb which already ends

這是一個已經結尾的動詞的例子。

in "e", so we only needed to add the "d"-right?-to turn it into the past tense.

在"e"中，所以我們只需要加上"d"-right?就可以變成過去式。

"The President agreed." When we ask the question, it becomes:

"主席同意."當我們提出這個問題時，它就變成了。

"Did the President

"總統有沒有

agree?" Okay? Very good.

同意嗎"好嗎？非常好。

"The university offered."

"大學提供.&quot。

Now, I didn't have space to write the full sentence. Maybe something

現在，我沒有空間來寫完整的句子。也許是

like: "The university offered him a scholarship." Okay? So, we know that the verb is "offer",

如："The university offered him a scholarship."好嗎？所以，我們知道這個動詞是"offer"。

then we add an "ed", it became past tense. "The university offered", but when we go back

然後我們加上一個"ed"，就變成了過去式。"大學提供了"，但當我們回溯到

to the base form of the verb in the question, it becomes:

到問題中動詞的基本形式，就變成了。

"Did the university

"大學有沒有

offer him a scholarship?" Right?

給他提供獎學金？" 對嗎？

"Did the university offer him a scholarship?"

"大學給他提供了獎學金嗎？&quot。

So in all these cases, we have come back to the

是以，在所有這些情況下，我們又回到了 "我 "的問題上。

base form of the verb. Okay, good.

動詞的基本形式。好的，很好。

Next: "The band performed." Okay?

下一篇："樂隊表演."好嗎？

Again, we see the "ed" here.

同樣，我們在這裡看到了"ed"。

"Did the band

"難道樂隊

perform?"

執行嗎&quot。

Okay? Very good. I'm sure you got it right. You've understood this, now.

好嗎? - 很好很好，我相信你是對的。我相信你是對的 I'm sure you got it right.你已經明白了這一點，現在。

All right, so those were regular verbs. Now we have a few irregular verbs. All right?

好吧，所以這些都是常規動詞。現在我們有一些不規則動詞。好嗎？

Nothing to worry about. Oh, actually there's some regular and some irregular. Okay?

沒什麼好擔心的。哦，其實有一些定期和不定期。好嗎？

All right. "It felt good."

好吧，感覺很好。

Now, "felt"-okay?-is the past tense of which word?

現在，"feed"-okay?-是哪個詞的過去式？

This and this are two verbs that students always get confused. All right?

這和這是兩個動詞，同學們總是搞不清楚。好嗎？

So, "felt" is the past tense of

所以，"feed"是過去時態。

"feel", so it becomes:

"感覺"，所以就成了。

"Did it feel good?"

"感覺好嗎&quot。

All right? Very good. "It felt good.",

好嗎？很好，"感覺不錯"。

"Did it feel good?", "feel", "felt".

"感覺好嗎"，"感覺"，"感覺"。

Let's jump down here for a second, because I want you to see the contrast. All right?

讓我們在這裡跳下來一秒鐘， 因為我想讓你看到的對比。好嗎？

"She fell yesterday." Okay? She fell down, or something like that.

她昨天摔了一跤，好嗎？她摔倒了，或類似的東西。

So: "fell" is the past tense of which word?

那麼："fall"是哪個詞的過去式？

It's the past tense of, what is it?

這是'的過去式，是什麼？

"Fall", very good. So the question becomes:

"秋天"，非常好。所以問題就變成了。

"How did",

"怎麼做的"。

"How did she fall?" All right?

"她是怎麼摔倒的"好嗎？

Because when we have the question word, we still need to add "did",

因為當我們有了疑問詞後，還需要加上"did"。

and then we come back to the base form of the verb.

然後我們再來看看動詞的基本形式。

Okay. "How did she fall?" All right? So remember these two. Okay? People... Students

好吧，"她是怎麼掉下去的？"好吧？所以記住這兩個。好嗎？ 人...人...學生

always confuse these two verbs, so make sure you don't do that.

總是把這兩個動詞混為一談，所以請務必不要這樣做'。

"Fall", "fell", "feel", "felt". All right? Very good.

"秋天"，"秋天"，"感覺"，"感覺"。好嗎？很好。

"The bride arrived." Who's the bride? What does the word "bride" mean? The bride is the

"新娘到了."新娘是誰'？什麼是"新娘"這個詞的意思？新娘是

elegant woman who's getting married. Okay? So, a "bride" is the woman who's getting married.

優雅的女人誰'的結婚。好嗎？所以，一個"新娘"是女人誰'的結婚。

So: "The bride arrived." This happens to be a regular verb. How do we know that? Because

所以："新娘到了。"這恰好是一個常規動詞。我們怎麼知道呢？因為

of the ending, here. Again, the word ends in "e": "arrive", we're just adding "d". So,

的結尾，這裡。同樣，這個詞的結尾是"e"："到達"，我們&39;只是加上"d"。所以。

how do we make it a question? "When",

我們怎麼把它變成一個問題呢"當"。

very good.

很好。

"When did she arrive?" Okay?

"她什麼時候到的？"好嗎？

We've gone back to our base form.

我們'已經回到了我們的基本形態。

Last one: "I told him." Okay?

最後一個："我告訴他了。"好嗎？

"I told him." So "told" is the past

"我告訴他."所以"告訴"是過去的事

tense of which word? You need to know in order to ask the question:

哪個詞的時態？你需要知道才能提出問題。

"What",

什麼"什麼"。

"What did you

你做了什麼？

tell him?" All right?

告訴他嗎"好嗎？

So you see that especially with the past tense of the irregular verbs, it's really important

所以你看，特別是不規則動詞的過去時，它真的很重要。

for you to know exactly what's the past tense form and... And so on. Because otherwise,

讓你清楚地知道什麼是過去時的形式和。等等。不然的話..,

you won't be able to make this transition easily and comfortably, but once you know

你將無法輕鬆自如地實現這一轉變，但一旦你知道了

them, it will come to you really, really fast. Okay?

他們，它會來找你 真的，真的很快。好嗎？

So I hope this lesson has helped you

所以希望這節課對你有所幫助

to understand a little bit better how to form questions, especially in the past simple tense.

以便更好地理解如何形成問題，尤其是過去簡單時態。
