动词过去式

be 动词
be 动词有两种过去时形式:was 和 were。代词 he、she、it 和 I 使用 was,you、we 和 they 使用 were。
He was tired yesterday. 他昨天很累。
They were happy in Paris. 他们以前在巴黎过得很开心。
否定式
使用 did + not 来组成动词过去时否定式。主要动词保持原形。
They did not like London. 他们以前不喜欢伦敦。
We did not meet John yesterday. 我们昨天没有碰到 John。
在英语口语中,短语 did + not 通常缩写为 didn't。
They didn't like London. 他们以前不喜欢伦敦。
We didn't meet John yesterday. 我们昨天没有碰到 John。
be 动词的过去时否定式为 was not 和 were not,对应的缩写形式分别为 wasn't 和 weren't。

Oscar and Pam were not at home yesterday. > Oscar and Pam weren't at home yesterday. Oscar 和 Pam 昨天不在家。
过去时疑问句
在句首使用单词 did 来形成过去时疑问句。did 后使用主要动词的原形。不得在动词词尾后加 s。

Did they eat dinner? 他们吃了吗?
要使用 be 动词组成过去时疑问句,请将 was 或 were 置于问句之首。
陈述句: He was happy. 他以前很开心。
疑问句: Was he happy? 他以前很开心吗?
