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!
- 填入正確的動詞:She ______ (go) to school every day.
- 改成否定句:He watches TV every night. → ________________________
- 改成疑問句:They play basketball on weekends. → ________________________
答案在這裡
- She goes to school every day.(She 是三單,go → goes)
- He doesn’t watch TV every night.(doesn’t 後面用原形 watch)
- Do they play basketball on weekends? Yes, they do. / No, they don’t.
都答對了嗎?那我們要搭時光機回到過去了!
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 |
|---|---|---|
| play | played | 玩 |
| walk | walked | 走路 |
| talk | talked | 說話 |
| cook | cooked | 煮 |
| clean | cleaned | 打掃 |
| listen | listened | 聽 |
| open | opened | 打開 |
| close | closeed | 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 |
|---|---|---|
| live | lived | 住 |
| like | liked | 喜歡 |
| love | loved | 愛 |
| dance | danced | 跳舞 |
| use | used | 使用 |
| smile | smiled | 微笑 |
| arrive | arrived | 到達 |
| move | moved | 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 |
|---|---|---|
| study | studied | 讀書 |
| carry | carried | 搬運 |
| try | tried | 嘗試 |
| cry | cried | 哭 |
| hurry | hurried | 趕快 |
| worry | worried | 擔心 |
| marry | married | 結婚 |
| copy | copied | 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 |
|---|---|---|
| stop | stopped | 停止 |
| plan | planned | 計畫 |
| rob | robbed | 搶劫 |
| hug | hugged | 擁抱 |
| clap | clapped | 拍手 |
| drop | dropped | 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 -ed | play → played |
| 2 | 字尾有 e | 只加 -d | live → lived |
| 3 | 子音 + y | 去 y 加 -ied | study → studied |
| 4 | CVC 結尾 | 雙寫子音 + ed | stop → 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 / am | was | 是 | I was happy yesterday. |
| are | were | 是 | They were at school. |
| have | had | 有 | I had a dog last year. |
| do | did | 做 | She did her homework. |
| go | went | 去 | He went to the store. |
| eat | ate | 吃 | We ate pizza last night. |
| see | saw | 看 | I saw a movie yesterday. |
| come | came | 來 | She came to my house. |
| take | took | 拿/帶 | He took my pen. |
| make | made | 做/製造 | I made a cake. |
| give | gave | 給 | Mom gave me $100. |
| get | got | 得到 | I got a new phone. |
| say | said | 說 | He said hello. |
| know | knew | 知道 | I knew the answer. |
| think | thought | 想/認為 | I thought it was easy. |
| feel | felt | 感覺 | She felt sick yesterday. |
| buy | bought | 買 | I bought a book. |
| bring | brought | 帶來 | He brought his laptop. |
| write | wrote | 寫 | She wrote a letter. |
| read | read | 讀 | I read a story last night. |
| sleep | slept | 睡 | He slept for 10 hours. |
| leave | left | 離開 | They left at 6 p.m. |

| stand | stood | 站 | He stood up. |
| sit | sat | 坐 | She sat on the chair. |
| run | ran | 跑 | I 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:
- 搭配簡單例句背: “I went to school.” 比 “go-went” 更好記。
- 分組背: 一次背 5 個,每組挑一個自己造句。
- 寫卡片: 正面寫原形,背面寫過去式,每天翻幾張。
- 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 |
|---|---|---|
| I | played | I played soccer yesterday. |
| You | studied | You studied English last night. |
| He | went | He went to the park. |
| She | ate | She ate lunch at 12. |
| It | rained | It rained all day. |
| We | saw | We saw a movie last week. |
| They | came | They 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 |
|---|---|---|
| I | didn’t | I didn’t play soccer yesterday. |
| You | didn’t | You didn’t study last night. |
| He | didn’t | He didn’t go to the park. |
| She | didn’t | She didn’t eat lunch at 12. |
| We | didn’t | We didn’t see a movie. |
| They | didn’t | They 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 |
|---|---|---|
| I | Did | Did I play soccer? |
| you | Did | Did you study last night? |
| he | Did | Did he go to the park? |
| she | Did | Did she eat lunch at 12? |
| we | Did | Did we see a movie? |
| they | Did | Did 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 Yes | Yes, I do. | Yes, he does. | Yes, I/he did. |
| 簡答 No | No, 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, usually | yesterday, 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 |
|---|---|
| am | was |
| is | was |
| are | were |
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 not He 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?
- 造跟自己有關的句子: 不要背 “go-went”,背 “我昨天 went 到學校。”
- 想像畫面: 閉上眼睛想像你真的在做那件事。
- 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。
複習時間 動作 今天 寫完所有練習,對答案,把錯的標記起來 明天 背 10 個不規則動詞,各造一個句子 3 天後 重寫 Part B 和 Part E 的錯題 1 週後 從頭默寫 30 個不規則動詞的原形和過去式 學 R08 時 再回來確認不規則動詞
