语法

4 分钟

be 动词的过去式只有两种形式：

I / he / she / it was
you / we / they were
I was at home yesterday. 昨天我在家。
They were in Italy last summer. 去年夏天他们在意大利。
Were you at work? 你当时在上班吗？
I wasn't at home. 我当时不在家。

There was 和 there were——就是第13课学过的 there is / there are，只是换成了过去时：There was a café here，There were two shops on this street。

表示过去的时间词：yesterday，last week，last year，two days ago， in 2020。

中文母语者的常见错误

已针对你的语言编写
1

was 和 were 用混。

✗ You was at home

✓ You were at home

。汉语的“在”“是”不随主语变化，“我在家”“你在家”“他们在家”用的是同一个词，所以很容易只记住一个 was。英语里 you 一定搭配 were，哪怕只指一个人。

2

说过去的事，却用现在时。

✗ Yesterday I am at home

✓ Yesterday I was at home

。汉语的动词没有时态变化，“昨天我在家”和 “现在我在家”里的“在”完全一样，时间只靠“昨天”这类词来表示。英语里，句子有了 yesterday，be 也必须换成过去式。

3

漏掉 be。

✗ Yesterday I at work

✓ I was at work yesterday

。汉语说“昨天我在单位”，一个“在”字就够了，于是 at 被当成了“在”，动词就丢了。英语的 at 只是介词，前面还需要 was 或 were。

4

用 before 代替 ago。

✗ I was there two days before

✓ I was there two days ago

。汉语的“两天前”“两天以前”和英语的语序相同，但“以前”常被直译成 before。从现在往回算要用 ago。和 last 不同，ago 总是放在数字和名词的后面：last week，但 two days ago。

发音

3 分钟

在连贯的语流中，was 和 were 读弱读式：/wəz/ 和 /wə/。只有在简短回答和否定形式中才重读：Yes, I was，I wasn't。

正因为这样，I was at home 听起来几乎就是 /aɪ wəz ət ˈhəʊm/——这很正常。
