威威老師的時光機:過去簡單式 (Past Simple Tense)


課前小測驗:R06 複習

上一次我們學了現在簡單式,先確認你還記得!

  1. 填入正確的動詞:She ______ (go) to school every day.
  2. 改成否定句:He watches TV every night. → ________________________
  3. 改成疑問句:They play basketball on weekends. → ________________________

Section 1:什麼是過去式?

想像你有一台時光機:

  • 現在簡單式 = 你站在「今天」,描述每天做的事
  • 過去簡單式 = 你搭時光機回到昨天、上週、去年,描述「已經發生」的事
時間中文英文
現在我每天吃早餐。I eat breakfast every day.
過去我昨天吃了早餐。I ate breakfast yesterday.
現在他每天走路去上學。He walks to school every day.
過去他昨天走路去上學。He walked to school yesterday.

看到了嗎?動詞從 eat 變成 ate,從 walks 變成 walked。 這就是過去式 —— 動詞穿上「過去的衣服」。

過去式什麼時候用?

  • 已經結束的動作:我昨天看了一部電影。
  • 過去的狀態:她去年住在台北。
  • 過去的事實:愛因斯坦在 1955 年去世。

Section 2:規則動詞加 -ed

英文大部分的動詞是「規則動詞」,過去式只要在字尾加 -ed

但是!加 -ed 的方式有四種,要看字尾是什麼:

規則一:一般動詞 —— 直接加 -ed

原形過去式中文
playplayed
walkwalked走路
talktalked說話
cookcooked
cleancleaned打掃
listenlistened
openopened打開
closecloseed關上

這是最簡單的,直接加上去就好!

規則二:字尾已經有 e —— 只加 -d

原形過去式中文
livelived
likeliked喜歡
loveloved
dancedanced跳舞
useused使用
smilesmiled微笑
arrivearrived到達
movemoved移動

已經有 e 了,就不用再加 ed,只要加 d 就好。

規則三:子音 + y 結尾 —— 去 y 加 -ied

原形過去式中文
studystudied讀書
carrycarried搬運
trytried嘗試
crycried
hurryhurried趕快
worryworried擔心
marrymarried結婚
copycopied複製

注意!

只有「子音 + y」才去 y 加 ied! 如果是「母音 + y」,就直接加 ed: play → played(不是 plied!) enjoy → enjoyed

規則四:子音 + 母音 + 子音 (CVC) —— 雙寫最後子音再加 -ed

原形過去式中文
stopstopped停止
planplanned計畫
robrobbed搶劫
hughugged擁抱
clapclapped拍手
dropdropped掉落

為什麼要雙寫?因為如果不雙寫,讀音會改變。 stop 變 stoped 的話,o 會唸長音(像 stope),但我們要的是短音 stop。

四種規則總整理表

規則條件做法例子
1一般直接加 -edplay → played
2字尾有 e只加 -dlive → lived
3子音 + y去 y 加 -iedstudy → studied
4CVC 結尾雙寫子音 + edstop → stopped

Section 3:不規則動詞表 (Top 30 Irregular Verbs)

有些動詞不照規則來,它們的過去式要用背的。

別怕!我們先背最常用的 30 個:

常用不規則動詞表

原形過去式中文簡單例句
is / amwasI was happy yesterday.
arewereThey were at school.
havehadI had a dog last year.
dodidShe did her homework.
gowentHe went to the store.
eatateWe ate pizza last night.
seesawI saw a movie yesterday.
comecameShe came to my house.
taketook拿/帶He took my pen.
makemade做/製造I made a cake.
givegaveMom gave me $100.
getgot得到I got a new phone.
saysaidHe said hello.
knowknew知道I knew the answer.
thinkthought想/認為I thought it was easy.
feelfelt感覺She felt sick yesterday.
buyboughtI bought a book.
bringbrought帶來He brought his laptop.
writewroteShe wrote a letter.
readreadI read a story last night.
sleepsleptHe slept for 10 hours.
leaveleft離開They left at 6 p.m.
telltold告訴She told me a secret.
findfound找到I found my keys.
loselost輸/弄丟We lost the game.
catchcaught接住He caught the ball.
teachtaughtMy mom taught me math.
standstoodHe stood up.
sitsatShe sat on the chair.
runranI ran to school.

read 的過去式拼法一樣但唸法不同!

read(現在式)唸 /ri:d/(長音) read(過去式)唸 /rɛd/(短音,跟 red 一樣)

分組記憶建議

不規則動詞可以按照變化模式來分組背:

類型說明例子
AAA 型三態都一樣cut-cut-cut, put-put-put, read-read-read(拼法一樣)
ABA 型過去分詞跟原形一樣come-came-come, run-ran-run
ABB 型過去式和過去分詞一樣meet-met-met, feel-felt-felt, sleep-slept-slept
ABC 型三個都不一樣go-went-gone, see-saw-seen, take-took-taken

目前你只需要背原形 → 過去式就好,過去分詞以後再學!

記憶技巧

不要死背表格!試試這些方法:

  1. 搭配簡單例句背: “I went to school.” 比 “go-went” 更好記。
  2. 分組背: 一次背 5 個,每組挑一個自己造句。
  3. 寫卡片: 正面寫原形,背面寫過去式,每天翻幾張。
  4. 用旋律唱: 把 go-went, eat-ate 套進一首歌的旋律裡。

Section 4:句型公式

過去式的句型和現在簡單式很像,但用的助動詞不同。

肯定句:S + V-ed / V-irregular

主詞動詞(過去式)完整句子
IplayedI played soccer yesterday.
YoustudiedYou studied English last night.
HewentHe went to the park.
SheateShe ate lunch at 12.
ItrainedIt rained all day.
WesawWe saw a movie last week.
TheycameThey came to Taiwan in 2020.

不管主詞是誰,過去式動詞都一樣!沒有「三單現加 s」的問題了。

否定句:S + didn’t + V (原形!)

主詞助動詞完整句子
Ididn’tI didn’t play soccer yesterday.
Youdidn’tYou didn’t study last night.
Hedidn’tHe didn’t go to the park.
Shedidn’tShe didn’t eat lunch at 12.
Wedidn’tWe didn’t see a movie.
Theydidn’tThey didn’t come to Taiwan.

超重要!

用了 didn’t 之後,動詞要回到原形!

  • He didn’t went ❌ (不能再用過去式!)
  • He didn’t go ✅ (didn’s 已經表示過去了,動詞不必再變)

這跟現在式的邏輯一樣:doesn’t 後面用原形,didn’t 後面也用原形!

疑問句:Did + S + V (原形!)

主詞助動詞完整句子
IDidDid I play soccer?
youDidDid you study last night?
heDidDid he go to the park?
sheDidDid she eat lunch at 12?
weDidDid we see a movie?
theyDidDid they come to Taiwan?

同樣,Did 後面的動詞用原形!

  • Did he went? ❌
  • Did he go? ✅

大表格整理

以動詞 play 為例:

現在簡單式 (I)現在簡單式 (He)過去簡單式 (所有人稱)
肯定I play.He plays.I/He played.
否定I don’t play.He doesn’t play.I/He didn’t play.
疑問Do I play?Does he play?Did I/he play?
簡答 YesYes, I do.Yes, he does.Yes, I/he did.
簡答 NoNo, I don’t.No, he doesn’t.No, I/he didn’t.

注意看!過去式的否定和疑問,所有人稱都用 didn’t / Did,沒有 doesn’t / Does 了!

超重要提醒:不要雙重標記!

最大的陷阱

過去式只需要一個地方表示「過去」,不要寫兩次!

錯誤正確問題
He didn’t went. ❌He didn’t go. ✅didn’t 已經是過去式了
Did he went? ❌Did he go? ✅Did 已經是過去式了
He wasn’t went. ❌He didn’t go. ✅was 是 be 動詞,不能混用

記住:過去式的變化只能出現在一個地方! 肯定句 → 動詞變過去式 否定句/疑問句 → 用 didn’t/Did,動詞保持原形


Section 5:信號字

看到這些字,就用過去簡單式!

信號字中文例句
yesterday昨天I played soccer yesterday.
last night昨晚She studied English last night.
last week上週We went to Tainan last week.
last month上個月He visited his grandma last month.
last year去年They moved to Taipei last year.
two days ago兩天前I saw him two days ago.
a week ago一週前She called me a week ago.
three years ago三年前We met three years ago.
in 2020在2020年He came to Taiwan in 2020.
this morning今天早上I ate breakfast this morning.

ago 的公式:數字 + 時間 + ago

  • two hours ago(兩小時前)
  • three days ago(三天前)
  • five years ago(五年前)

現在式 vs. 過去式 信號字對比

現在簡單式過去簡單式
信號字every day, always, usuallyyesterday, last ___, ___ ago
例句I play soccer every day.I played soccer yesterday.

Section 6:be 動詞的過去式

be 動詞的過去式是不規則的:

現在式過去式
amwas
iswas
arewere

肯定句

例句說明
I was happy yesterday.am → was
He was at school last week.is → was
She was a student in 2020.is → was
We were tired last night.are → were
They were at the park yesterday.are → were
You were late this morning.are → were

否定句

be 動詞的否定直接加 not,不用 didn’t

肯定否定
I was happy.I was not (wasn’t) happy.
He was at school.He was not (wasn’t) at school.
We were tired.We were not (weren’t) tired.
They were late.They were not (weren’t) late.

一般動詞 vs. be 動詞的否定

動詞類型否定做法例子
一般動詞用 didn’t + 原形He didn’t go.
be 動詞直接加 notHe wasn’t there.

不要混用!

  • He didn’t was happy. ❌
  • He wasn’t happy. ✅

學習科學小技巧

情境記憶 (Context-Dependent Memory)

科學家發現,我們在「特定的情境」下學到的東西,在類似情境中更容易回想起來。

怎麼用這個技巧來背不規則動詞?

  1. 造跟自己有關的句子: 不要背 “go-went”,背 “我昨天 went 到學校。”
  2. 想像畫面: 閉上眼睛想像你真的在做那件事。
  3. 用時間線: 拿一張紙畫一條時間線,標出「現在」和「過去」,把句子寫在對的位置。
