【考點(diǎn)3】一般過(guò)去時(shí)的用法考查
一般過(guò)去時(shí)主要有以下用法:1、表示過(guò)去某時(shí)發(fā)生的動(dòng)作或情況(包括習(xí)慣性動(dòng)作)。常見(jiàn)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)有:yesterday, last night/week, a month ago/ ten years ago和具體的過(guò)去時(shí)間in 1990, in 2006等。例如:She often came to help me when I was in trouble. 2、發(fā)生的時(shí)間不是很清楚,但實(shí)際上是過(guò)去發(fā)生的。例如:How nice to see you here! I thought you were out.
要注意區(qū)分一般過(guò)去時(shí)和過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)。一般過(guò)去時(shí)表示過(guò)去發(fā)生的事情,側(cè)重結(jié)果;而過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)只表示過(guò)去某段時(shí)間正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作,而不涉及結(jié)果。例如:He was writing a letter last night.(不知道是否寫(xiě)完了) / He wrote a letter last night. (結(jié)果寫(xiě)完了)
