第七課 動詞一般過去式
一.本課要點及示例
在這一課里, 我們要學習動詞的簡單過去式, 看看在敘述過去發生的事情的時 候動詞有什么樣的變化.
現在我們先來聽一段會話, 內容是說彼得和他的同學瑪麗談論他們去年的暑假 作了些什么事情. 這段會話里用的動詞大多數是簡單過去式, 請你特別注意聽, 同時也要注意英文老師的發音和語調.
M: Where did you go during vacation?
F: I didn't go anywhere. I stayed home.
M: Did you work?
F: No, I took two courses in summer school.
M: Why did you do that?
F: Because I wanted to get ahead a little.
M: How were those courses?
F: They were interesting and I met a lot of people.
M: You were very busy then.
F: Yes, I enjoyed the summer very much.
現在我請英文老師用慢速度再把剛才那段會話念一遍.
M: Where did you go during vacation?
F: I didn't go anywhere. I stayed home.
M: Did you work?
F: No, I took two courses in summer school.
M: Why did you do that?
F: Because I wanted to get ahead a little.
M: How were those courses?
F: They were interesting and I met a lot of people.
M: You were very busy then.
F: Yes, I enjoyed the summer very much.
在剛才那段會話里, 用了許多過去式動詞, 現在我請英文老師再把那些句子挑 選幾個出來, 用慢速度念一遍給你聽.
M: Where did you go during vacation?
F: I stayed home.
F: I took two courses in summer school.
F: I wanted to get ahead a little.
M: How were those courses?
F: I met a lot of people.
F: I enjoyed the summer very much.
二. 規則動詞的過去式
聽了剛才那段會話,你或許已經注意到了英文動詞分為規則動詞和不規則動詞.
規則動詞的過去式就是: 在現在式動詞后面加上 e-d, 比方: "停留" stay, s-t-a-y, stay, "要" want, w-a-n-t, want, 都是這類動詞.
下面我們用這些過去式動詞作句子.下面這些句子敘述瑪麗去年夏天作的事.每 個句子我們念兩遍, 請你聽一遍, 跟著重復一遍:
M: Mary stayed home last summer.
F: Mary stayed home last summer.
M: Mary enjoyed going to summer school.
F: Mary enjoyed going to summer school.
M: Mary traveled to interesting places.
F: Mary traveled to interesting places.
M: Mary visited her friends.
