I'm Rebecca from engVid, and this lesson is going to save you years of English mistakes.

我'我是來自engVid的Rebecca，這節課將為你節省多年的英語錯誤。

Why?

為什麼？

Because it's a diagnostic lesson.

因為它'是一堂診斷課。

In just a few minutes you'll find out what you know and don't know regarding

在短短的幾分鐘內，你會發現你知道和不知道的關於

the past tenses in English.

英語中的過去時態。

And why is that important?

為什麼這麼重要？

For two reasons.

原因有二：

First, you can focus on what you don't know and improve those areas and improve quickly,

首先，你可以專注於你不知道的東西，並改善這些方面，並迅速提高。

and second because the past tenses are among the most important tenses that we use in English.

其次是因為過去時是我們英語中最重要的時態之一。

Okay?

好嗎？

And at the end of the lesson after you've done the exercise and you find out what you

而在課程結束後，你'已經做了練習，你發現你是什麼

might get wrong or right, I'll show you exactly how to improve, what you can do.

可能會得到錯誤或正確的，我'會告訴你到底如何改進，你可以做什麼。

Some simple steps.

一些簡單的步驟。

Okay?

好嗎？

Let's get started.

讓我們開始吧。

So, number one: "It rains all day yesterday."

所以，第一條："昨天下了一天的雨&quot。

Okay?

好嗎？

So these are all sentences in the past tense.

所以這些都是過去式的句子。

Okay?

好嗎？

There are four tenses we're covering: Past simple, past continuous, present perfect,

我們涵蓋的時態有四種。過去簡單，過去連續，現在完成。

and past perfect.

和過去的完美。

Okay?

好嗎？

So, all of these sentences have some mistakes.

所以，這些句子都有一些錯誤。

You try to find out: What's the mistake?

你試著找出。錯在哪裡？

If you know, then you know that part.

如果你知道，那麼你就知道這部分。

If you don't, we'll see what to do.

如果你不這樣做，我們就看看該怎麼做。

So: "It rains all day yesterday."

所以："昨天下了一天的雨&quot。

What's wrong with that sentence?

這句話有什麼問題？

Okay.

好吧，我知道了

So, we're talking about yesterday so we know it's in the past, so what's wrong is here,

所以，我們'在談論昨天，所以我們知道它'在過去，所以什麼'的問題在這裡。

this verb is right now in the present simple.

這個動詞現在是現在式。

It should be...

應該是...

It should be in the past.

應該是過去的事了。

So then this sentence should be in the past simple.

那麼這句話就應該是過去的簡單句。

So if you didn't know that, then...

所以，如果你不知道，那麼... ...

Then you need to review the past simple.

那麼你需要複習過去的簡單。

Okay?

好嗎？

Number two: "Have you seen Maria last week?

第二條："你上週見過瑪麗亞嗎？

Have you seen Maria last week?"

上週你見過瑪麗亞嗎&quot。

What's wrong with that sentence?

這句話有什麼問題？

Or that question, rather.

或者說，這個問題。

Can you find the mistake?

你能找到錯誤的地方嗎？

Okay, so the mistake is this:

好吧，所以錯誤是這樣的。

When we say: "Have you seen", that's which tense?

當我們說："你見過"，那'是哪個時態？

Present perfect.

現在完美。

But then we go on to say: "Have you seen Maria last week?"

但我們接著說："你上週見過瑪麗亞嗎？&quot。

That's a problem, because when we use the present perfect tense, we cannot use a finished

這是個問題，因為當我們使用現在的完全時態時，我們不能使用一個完成的

time with it.

時間與它。

If you use a finished time, like last week, then you have to change this question and

如果你用的是完成時間，就像上週一樣，那麼你要把這道題改一改，並且

make it into past simple.

使之成為過去的簡單。

For example: "Did you see Maria last week?"

比如："你上週看到瑪麗亞了嗎？&quot。

That's one way to fix that question.

這'是解決這個問題的一個方法。

And the other way, if we wanted to keep it present perfect-right?-we would say:

而另一種方式，如果我們想讓它保持現在的完美--對嗎--我們會說。

"Have you seen Maria this week?" for example.

"你這周看到瑪麗亞了嗎？"例如。

Okay?

好嗎？

That...

那個...

Of course, that has a different meaning, but if you're going to use this tense then if

當然，這有不同的意義，但如果你'要用這個時態，那麼如果

you have a timeframe you can only talk about time which is either still going on, like

你有一個時間框架，你只能談論時間，要麼是仍在繼續，就像...。

this week, today, this month, this year, and so on.

本週、今天、本月、今年等等。

Okay?

好嗎？

So if you made a mistake here, remember to review present perfect.

所以如果你在這裡犯了錯誤，記得複習一下現在的完美。

Okay?

好嗎？

Just make a note of that.

記下來就可以了。

Next: "Gary studied when I arrived.

下一篇："Gary在我來的時候學習。

Gary studied when I arrived."

加里在我來的時候學習了.&quot。

What's wrong there?

有什麼問題嗎？

There is a little mistake there, and it's here.

那裡有一點錯誤，它'在這裡。

Okay?

好嗎？

This should be: "Gary was studying"-right?-"when I arrived".

這應該是："加里正在學習"-對嗎？-"我到的時候"。

Now, "was studying" is past continuous.

現在，"正在學習"是過去連續。

So, why do we need past continuous there?

那麼，我們為什麼要在那裡用過去的連續呢？

Because the action of studying takes some time.

因為學習的行動需要一定的時間。

Right?

對吧？

It doesn't happen in one second.

它不會在一秒鐘內發生。

So he was studying, and studying, and studying, and then in the middle of this studying I arrived.

所以他在學習，學習，學習，然後在這個學習當中，我就到了。

"Arrived" doesn't take time, so "arrived" can be in the past simple tense.

"Arrived"不需要時間，所以"Arrived"可以用過去簡單時態。

That's fine.

那就好。

I arrived, it's finished, it's over.

我到了，它'結束了，它'結束了。

But Gary was studying, and studying, and studying, and studying, and I came in the middle of that.

但Gary在學習，學習，學習，學習，學習，我也在其中。

Okay?

好嗎？

So these are the kinds of things you have to know about these tenses in order to use

所以，這些都是你必須知道的關於這些時態的事情，以便使用。

them correctly.

他們正確的。

So, if you made a mistake here, remember to review past continuous.

所以，如果你在這裡犯了錯誤，記得複習過去的連續。

Remember at the end of the lesson I'll tell you exactly how you can review these.

記得在課程的最後，我會告訴你具體如何複習這些。

Okay?

好嗎？

Next, number four: "When have you sent the email?"

接下來，第四條："你什麼時候發的郵件？&quot。

Okay?

好嗎？

"When have you sent the email?"

"你什麼時候發的郵件？&quot。

Okay.

好吧，我知道了

So, the problem here, again, is that the tense that's used is present perfect.

所以，這裡的問題又是，'用的時態是現在完成時。

But with present perfect we cannot use the word "when".

但對於現在的完滿，我們不能用"當"這個詞。

If you use the question word "when", then you need to change this entire question to

如果你用了疑問詞"when"，那麼你需要把這整個問題改成

past simple.

過去的簡單。

"When did you send the email?"

"你什麼時候發的郵件？&quot。

Okay?

好嗎？

"When did you send the email?"

"你什麼時候發的郵件？&quot。

Because when I ask you that question you're going to tell me sometime in the past that's

因為當我問你這個問題的時候，你會告訴我在過去的某個時候，那就是

finished and over.

完了，結束了。

So that's past simple, and not present perfect.

所以那是過去的簡單，而不是現在的完美。

So if you made a mistake here, you should really review past simple, but more importantly

所以，如果你在這裡犯了錯誤，你真的應該複習過去的簡單，但更重要的是

also, again, present perfect.

同時，又是現在的完美。

Okay?

好嗎？

A little bit of both.

兩者都有一點。

If you just said here: "Have you sent the email?" then it's fine and it's present perfect.

如果你只是在這裡說："你發過郵件了嗎？"那麼它'很好，而且它'現在很完美。

Okay?

好嗎？

But if you need to use the question word "when", remember to change it to past simple.

但如果需要用疑問詞"when"，記得改成過去的簡單。

Good.

很好啊

Number five: "Did you ever see this movie?

第五條："你看過這部電影嗎？

Did you ever see this movie?"

你看過這部電影嗎？&quot。

Now, this one is almost correct because most of the time we use another tense, but you

現在，這個幾乎是正確的，因為大多數時候，我們使用另一種時態，但你。

could use this.

可以用這個。

Okay?

好嗎？

"Did you ever see this movie?"

"你看過這部電影嗎？&quot。

It's possible that you will hear people saying that, but as a grammar teacher and as an English

你有可能會聽到人們這樣說，但作為文法老師和作為英語

teacher I'm telling you that actually what you should say here is:

老師我'告訴你，其實你在這裡應該說的是。

"Have you ever seen this movie?"

"你看過這部電影嗎？&quot。

Okay?

好嗎？

Because "ever" is one of those words that we in fact do use a lot with the present perfect

因為"ever"是我們事實上經常使用的一個詞，用在現在的完形詞上。

tense.

時態。

So when you see the word "ever": "Have you ever seen this movie?

所以當你看到"ever"這個詞時："你看過這部電影嗎？

Have you ever read this book?

你讀過這本書嗎？

Have you ever visited Japan?"

你去過日本嗎&quot。

Right?

對吧？

Questions like that, really, you should be using present perfect and not past simple.

這樣的問題，真的，你應該用現在的完美，而不是過去的簡單。

So this one is also present perfect.

所以這個也是目前完美的。

Remember to review that if you got that wrong.

如果你弄錯了，記得複習一下。

Number six: "When the guests arrived, I already cooked dinner.

第六條："客人來的時候，我已經做好了晚飯。

When the guests arrived, I already cooked dinner."

客人來的時候，我已經做好了晚飯.&quot。

So what's wrong there?

那有什麼問題呢？

The clue is actually from this word, "already".

這個線索其實是來自於這個詞，"已經"。

Okay?

好嗎？

So here we are talking about what?

所以我們在這裡說的是什麼？

We're talking about two actions that happened in the past.

我們'說的是過去發生的兩個行動。

But one happened before the other.

但一個發生在另一個之前。

What happened first?

先發生了什麼？

"I already cooked dinner", right?

I cooked dinner first, and then the guests arrived.

我先做飯，然後客人來了。

So: "When the guests arrived I...

所以："客人來了以後，我......。

I had already cooked dinner."

我已經做了晚飯.&quot。

So that is an example of when we can use the past perfect.

所以這就是一個例子，說明我們什麼時候可以使用過去完成時。

Past perfect is used when we're talking about two actions and you want to show that one

過去完成時用於我們'正在談論兩個動作，你想顯示一個。

of them happened first in the past, although both of them happened in the past.

其中的先發生在過去，雖然它們都發生在過去。

The past perfect part of the sentence shows you what happened first in the past.

句子的過去完成部分向你展示了過去先發生的事情。

So, if you didn't know that then please review the past perfect.

所以，如果你不知道，那麼請你複習過去的完美。

Okay?

好嗎？

You're doing fine.

你做得很好。

Don't worry.

別擔心

You're doing great.

你做得很好

Number seven: "I wasn't understanding what you said.

第七條："我沒聽懂你說什麼。

I wasn't understanding what you said."

我不明白你說什麼.&quot。

Well, that's not right.

嗯，這是不對的。

It should be:

應該是這樣的

"I didn't understand what you said."

"我沒聽懂你說什麼&quot。

Why?

為什麼？

Because there are certain verbs which we cannot use in the continuous form.

因為有些動詞我們不能用連體形式。

They are called stative verbs.

它們被稱為陳述性動詞。

So you have to know what they are, and when you learn the continuous tense you usually

所以你要知道它們是什麼，當你學習連續時態的時候，你通常是

come across this part of the lesson, stative verbs, and you need to know there are certain

遇到這部分課程，陳述性動詞，你要知道有一定的

verbs you cannot use with...

動詞不能與...

In this continuous form.

在這種連續形式下。

So you can never say: "I'm not understanding"

所以你永遠不能說："我&39;不懂&quot。

or "I'm understanding", or "I was understanding".

或"I'm understanding"，或"I was understanding"。

No.

不知道

You can only use it in the simple form.

你只能以簡單的形式使用它。

So if you got that wrong, then please check your past continuous tense.

所以如果你弄錯了，那麼請檢查你的過去連續時態。

Okay?

好嗎？

You need to know when you learn that tense that there's certain verbs, stative verbs

你學那個時態的時候要知道，有'的某些動詞，定語動詞。

which we cannot use in that kind of continuous form.

我們不能用那種連續的形式。

Okay?

好嗎？

And the last one: "When I reached the airport, the flight already left."

而最後一個："當我到達機場時，飛機已經起飛了&quot。

Okay, we did one similar to this back here.

好吧，我們做了一個類似於這個回到這裡。

"When I reached the airport, the flight already left."

"當我到達機場的時候，飛機已經起飛了&quot。

So, again, what's going on here?

那麼，再說一遍，這是怎麼回事？

Two actions in the past, and you want to show that one of those actions happened first.

過去的兩個動作，你要證明其中一個動作是先發生的。

The action that happened first we have to express using the past perfect tense, which

先發生的動作，我們要用過去完成時來表達，也就是

means we need to say: "The flight had already left."

意思是我們需要說："飛機已經起飛了&quot。

When I reached the airport, before that the flight had already left.

當我到達機場時，在此之前，班機已經起飛。

So if you weren't sure about that or you got it wrong, then please review the past perfect tense.

所以如果你不確定或者你弄錯了，那麼請你複習一下過去完成時。

Okay?

好嗎？

Now, I know there's quite a lot to do, but you can master it.

現在，我知道有'相當多的事情要做，但你可以掌握它。

But if you don't understand why it was wrong, that's what I want you to be able to do because

但如果你不明白為什麼它是錯誤的，那我希望你能做到，因為。

you're not going to have a teacher with you all the time.

你'不打算有一個老師與你所有的時間。

You are your own teacher, so as you get better at understanding what the reasons were why

你是你自己的老師，所以當你越來越瞭解原因是什麼原因時

these were wrong, you will be able to improve your English very, very quickly.

這些都是錯誤的，你將能夠非常非常快地提高你的英語水平。

So, what should you do now?

那麼，你現在應該怎麼做呢？
