一般过去时它表示的是：某个动作作发生在过去的时间里，并且这个动作已经完成了。常和表示过去的时间状语连用。如：last year, yesterday等；也可表示过去经常反复发生的动作，常和often, always等频率副词连用。 
一般过去时-基本概念
? 
1.“过去的时间”可长可短，哪怕是一分钟之前发生的事，也是过去时，时间用just now 表示；当然一万年前发生的事更是过去时；
2.这个“过去的时间”一般是比较笼统的“一段”时间，比如：yesterday, last week, in 1993, at that time, once, during the war, before, a few days ago, when... 等等。也就是说，“过去的时间”不是一个非常准确的时间，因为如果是明确的时间，就要用过去进行时了。
3.过去时表示的动作已经结束了，它侧重于这个事情已经做过并已完成，跟现在没有多大的联系。如果要强调过去的动作对现在的影响，就要用现在完成时了。
一般过去时-句型构成
一般过去时
一般过去时主要是通过谓语动词的变化来表示的。英语中每种时态都要求谓语动词进行相应的变化。在一般过去时里，要求谓语动词用动词“过去式”。
原形动词变为过去式，可以概括为两类：一类是规则的变化，另一类是不规则的变化。
1.规则变化的动词过去式
(1) 在词尾加ed 或d
英语中大部分动词过去式都是规则变化的，即在动词后加上ed；如果结尾字母是不发音的e，则只要加上一个d就行了。例如：
work-worked???????????? clean-cleaned???????????? play-played
decide-decided????????? live-lived?????????????????? love-loved?
(2) 以辅音字母+y结尾的，变y为i加ed
study-studied???? hurry-hurried????? carry-carried?
(3) 以重读闭音节结尾的，双写最后的辅音字母再加ed
stop-stopped???????? drop-dropped????????? wag-wagged?
2.不规则变化的动词过去式
不规则变化是指过去式不能加ed，用另外一个词来表示。这样的不规则过去式也有很多，只有靠一个一个去记忆了。例如：
is/am-was???????? are-were?????????? have/has-had
shall-should牋牋?will-would牋牋牋牋 can-could牋牋牋牋 may- mig?
(2) 以ht
go-went牋牋牋牋牋?come-came牋牋牋 take-took?
sit-sat牋牋牋?say-said牋牋牋牋牋 get-got牋牋?swim-swam
run-ran牋牋?write-wrote牋牋?sing-sang牋 tell-told?
speak-spoke牋牋 begin-began牋牋?break-broke
不规则变化中，还有少数词的过去式与原形动词完成相同；read的过去式只是读音改变了。例如：
cut-cut???? put-put???? let-let???????? read-read [red]
keep-kept????????? feel-felt???? sleep-slept??????? sweep-swept?? 
build-built????? lend-lent?????? send-sent??? spend-spent
ring-rang?? sit-sat?? drink-drank??? sing-sang?? swim-swam? 
think-thought? buy-bought? bring-brought? fight-fought
teach-taught? catch-caught
know-knew? grow-grew? throw-threw? draw-drew
3.规则动词过去式的读音?
在清辅音[p] [k] [f] [s] 等后，ed要读[t]。
例如： worked, finished
在元音或浊辅音[b] [g] [v] [z] [m]等后，ed要读[d]。
例如：lived, called
在[t]或[d]后，ed读[id]。
例如：started，needed

一般过去时-疑问句型
过去时的一般疑问句可以分为两类。
1.was / were,? had (有)
它们的一般疑问句是将was / were, had移到主语前面，否定句是直接在它们后面加上not。例如：
He was very busy last Friday.
Was he very busy last Friday? Yes, he was. / No, he wasn't.
He wasn't very busy last Friday.
The girls were happy about it.
Were the girls happy about it? Yes, they were. / No, they weren't.

Had she a car last year? Yes, she had. / No, she hadn't.
She hadn't a car last year.
2.实义动词
实义动词过去式的一般疑问句，是在主语前加上did；否定句是在谓语动词前加上did not，并将谓语动词改为动词原形。请注意：过去时不分人称和单复数，都是加did或did not。 例如：
Li Ming studied English this morning.
Did Li Ming studied English this morning？Yes, he did. / No, he didn't.
Li Ming didn't study English this morning.
We often played badminton together.
Did you often played badminton together? Yes, we did. / No, we didn't.

其次，had 如果作为实义动词的话，也是加did或did not. 例如：
