【考点3】一般过去时的用法考查
一般过去时主要有以下用法:1、表示过去某时发生的动作或情况(包括习惯性动作)。常见的时间状语有:yesterday, last night/week, a month ago/ ten years ago和具体的过去时间in 1990, in 2006等。例如:She often came to help me when I was in trouble. 2、发生的时间不是很清楚,但实际上是过去发生的。例如:How nice to see you here! I thought you were out.
要注意区分一般过去时和过去进行时。一般过去时表示过去发生的事情,侧重结果;而过去进行时只表示过去某段时间正在进行的动作,而不涉及结果。例如:He was writing a letter last night.(不知道是否写完了) / He wrote a letter last night. (结果写完了)
