基本结构
主语+动词过去式+其他
否定形式

②Was\Were+sb.+ do sth
口诀
一般过去时并不难，过去动作、状态记心间。
动词要用过去式，时间状语句末站。
否定句很简单，didn't 站在动原前，其它部分不要变。
一般疑问句也好变，did放在句子前，主语、动原、其它部分依次站。
特殊疑问句也简单，疑问词加一般疑问句记心间。
最后一条请注意，动词过去式要牢记！
一般过去时态的“三变”技巧
一变：肯定句变为否定句
技巧1·当句中含有情态动词或助动词could，would，should等时，可直接在其后面加not构成否定句。例如：
I could get you a concert ticket. → I could not / couldn't get you a concert ticket.
技巧2·当句中含有系动词was，were 时，可直接在其后加not构成否定句。例如：
I was on the Internet when you called me. → I was not / wasn't on the Internet when you called me.
技巧3·当句中谓语是除情态动词、助动词、系动词was,were以外的动词时，在该动词之前加did not / didn't，动词还原，构成否定句。例如：
The famous singer sang some Chinese songs. → The famous singer did not / didn't sing any Chinese songs.
二变：陈述句变为一般疑问句
技巧1·移动词语的位置。将was，were,could，would，should等移到句首。例如：
He could pack his things himself. → Could he pack his things himself?
技巧2·添加助动词did。谓语是除情态动词、助动词、系动词was,were以外的动词时，在主语之前加did，动词还原。例如：
Mr Li looked very old. → Did Mr Li look very old?
三变：陈述句变为特殊疑问句
技巧1·确定疑问词：人who / whom，物what，地点where，时间when / what time，原因why，频率how often，长度how long，距离how far等等。例如：
They gave the concert last night. → When did they give the concert?
技巧2·辨认结构形式：疑问词+情态动词/助动词/ was / were / did +主语+...? 例如：
The accident happened near the station. → Where did the accident happen
一些不规则变化：
do>did see>saw make>made
take>took eat>ate read>read
put>put get>got hear>heard
feel>felt等等。
