第八課 過去式動詞
一.本課要點及示例
在這一課里, 我們繼續學習過去式動詞.
首先還是依照慣例, 請你聽一段對話, 內容是說彼得星期六下午遇見了他的同 學瑪麗, 兩個人談到星期五晚上學校開舞會的事情. 現在我請兩位英文老師念 這段對話, 請你特別注意英文老師的發音和語調.
M: Where were you this morning?
F: This morning? I was at home, helping my mother.
M: Why weren't you at school? Weren't you on the clean up committee for the dance?
F: No, I wasn't on that committee. I was on the decorating committee.
M: Oh! Well, the decorations were very nice.
F: We worked on them all day Friday. Were you at the dance last night?
M: Yes, I was. I didn't see you there.
F: I was there, but there were a lot of people, and I didn't stay very long.
M: It was a nice dance, wasn't it?
F: Yes, I enjoyed it very much.
現在我再請英文老師把整段對話用慢速度念一遍. 這次請你特別注意對話里的 過去式動詞.
M: Where were you this morning?
F: This morning? I was at home, helping my mother.
M: Why weren't you at school? Weren't you on the clean up committee for the dance?
F: No, I wasn't on that committee. I was on the decorating committee.
M: Oh! Well, the decorations were very nice.
F: We worked on them all day Friday. Were you at the dance last night?
M: Yes, I was. I didn't see you there.
F: I was there, but there were a lot of people, and I didn't stay very long.
M: It was a nice dance, wasn't it?
F: Yes, I enjoyed it very much.
在剛才那段對話里有幾種不同的過去式動詞, 現在我挑選出幾個例子, 請英文 老師再用慢速度念一遍:
M: Where were you this morning?
F: I was at home.
M: Why weren't you at school?
F: I wasn't on that committee.
F: We worked on them all day Friday.
M: I didn't see you there.
F: I enjoyed it very much.
二.BE的過去式
