一般过去时 – 规则和不规则动词的变化

一般过去时规则动词的变化

要使句子成为一般过去时通常要在规则动词后面加上ed。

They often watch a film on Sunday. ⇒ They watched a film last Sunday. 上星期日他们看了电影。
She lives in London. ⇒ She lived in London in the 80s. 她在80年代住在伦敦。

规则动词的拼写

不定式	过去式	拼字
watch play	watched played	通常加ed
like arrive	liked arrived	-e后面加-d
Study try	studied tried	在子音加y之后去 -y加 -ied
shop rob	stopped robbed	子音加母音加子音，变成双子音加 -ed

什么时候要双辅音?

当动词结束于辅音 + 元音 + 辅音时，则要变成双辅音。这个规则在当动词只有一个音节时绝对成立。

• stop ⇒ stopped
• plan ⇒ planned
• shop ⇒ shopped
• rob ⇒ robbed.

若动词为两个音节，只有在当重音出现在最后一个音节时才需要变成双辅音。

• reFER ⇒ referred
• preFER ⇒ preferred
• reGRET ⇒ regretted

但当重音不是在最后一个音节时便不需要变成双辅音。

• VIsit ⇒ visited
• ANswer ⇒ answered.

有些动词为不规则动词所以要变成一般过去时不是加 -ed。
