四、动词过去式的构成规律
(一)规则动词的过去式 
1.一般情况下,在动词原形后面加-ed;
look→looked  play→played  start→started
visit→visited 
2.以不发音e结尾的动词,在词尾直接加-d;
live→lived  use→used 
3.以“辅音字母+ y”结尾的动词,先将
y 改为i ,再加 –ed; 
study→studied, try→tried
fly→flied 
4.以重读闭音节(即辅音+元音+辅音)或r音节结尾,末尾只有一个辅音字母
的动词,要先双写这个辅音字母后,再加 –ed。 
stop→stopped
plan→planned, prefer→preferred 
(二)不规则动词的过去式
1.改变动词中的元音; 
begin→began  drink→drank
come→came  eat→ate grow→grew  run→ran
know→knew   win→won  speak→spoke take→took
write→wrote  
get→got  
2.变词尾的–d 为–t ;
build→built  lend→lent  send→sent  spend→spent
bend→bent 
3.与动词原形一样; 
cut→cut  put→put
cost→cost  hurt→hurt  shut→shut 
4.变-ay 为-aid
(少数动词); 
 
 
say→said  pay→paid
lay→laid  
5.采用不同词根; 
sell→sold
teach→taught  buy→bought 
6.其他。 
amis→was
are→were  havehas→had  do→did 
五、加“-ed”后的读音方法 
加在清辅音后面读t。 
finished -t
help -t   asked -t 
加在浊辅音或元音结尾的,读d。 
played
-d    lived -d    enjoyed -d 
加在t或d后面,读id。
wanted -tid    needed -did    visited -tid
 
六、句式变化

were放在句首,其余位置不变。由Was„?引导的一般疑问句,肯定答
为:Yes,… was.
否定回答为:No,…. wasn’t.
由Were„?引导的一般疑问句,肯定

其余的语序不变。要注意的是,
要把行为动词的过去式改为原形。肯定回答为:Yes, „did.
否定回答:No, „didn’t.

night? 
→Yes, he did. (肯定回答)  →No, he didn’t.
(否定回答)

day before yesterday. 
→He was not in the park
the day before yesterday. 
(2)We were busy last
week. 
→We were not busy last week. 
2.在表示过去
的时间发生的动作的句子中,要在行为动词的前面加助动词didn’t.
然后把过去式的行为动词改为
动词原形。即:didn’t + 动词原形。 
如: 
(1)She played the
violin last night. 
→She didn’t play the violin
last night. 
(2)They swam in the lake
yesterday. 
→They didn’t swim in the lake
yesterday.

形。)

→Where did they sing and dance yesterday
morning? 
 + 动词过去式 „ ?( 主要是询问过去事情发生的人物。)
