英语过去式的用法
过去式(past tense)是英语语法的一种，表示过去某个时间里发生的动作或状态。一般过去式的动词通常用动词的过去式形式来表示，而动词的过去式是在动词原形的基础上变化的。动词的过去式可分为规则动词和不规则动词。
⒈过去发生的而已经结束的动作需要用一般过去式来表示。
⒉表示过去某个时间里发生的动作或状态。
【过去时态】表示行为、动作和状态在各种时间条件下的动词形式。
【过去时态结构】是指过去时态下的动词形式的语法构成。
规则动词
一般动词直接加-ed，e.g.look-looked;
以e结尾的动词直接加-d，e.g.dance-danced;
辅音字母加y结尾的，变y为i再加ed，e.g.study-studied;
以重读闭音节结尾，末尾只有一个辅音字母(字母w，y，x除外)，双写这个辅音字母加-ed，e.g.skip-skipped;
以l结尾的动词，若以非重读音节结尾，则末尾的字母l双写与不双写均可。其中不双写的是美式拼写。e.g.travel-travelled/traveled(U.S.)。
部分以-p结尾的动词同样遵循第5条，这类词多由“前缀+名词”构成。e.g.worship-worshipped/worshiped(U.S.)、handicap-handicapped/handicaped(U.S.)。
注：英语26个字母中，除了a，e，i，o，u 这几个元音字母外，其他都是辅音字母。
不规则动词
动词过去式与原形相同;
动词过去式以-ought或-aught结尾;
动词过去式由原形结尾的-end变为-ent;
动词过去式以-elt，-eft，-ept结尾;
动词过去式与原形比较，其中一个元音字母发生改变;
动词过去式以-ew结尾;
动词过去式-ee-变为-e-。
