本课时主要句型和词组
一般过去时
一般过去时表示过去某个时间里发生的动作或状态；过去习惯性、经常性的动作、行为。
动词 be 的过去时的基本结构：
肯定：主语 + was/were + 其他；
否定：主语 + was/were + not + 其他;
一般疑问：were/was + 主语 + 其他。
be 动词的过去式
原形 am is are
否定缩略式 (am not) isn’t aren’t
过去式 Was was were
否定缩略式 wasn’t wasn’t weren’t
动词 be 的过去时有四巧：
一是时间状语巧，表示过去的短语要记牢；
二是形式巧，单数 was，复数 were；
三是否定句结构巧，not 紧跟was／were；
四是疑问句式巧， was／were 向前跑(提前)。
【一巧】 时间状语巧。一般过去时表示过去发生的动作或存在的状态，恰巧与表示过去的一些时间状语连用。
例如：yesterday, last night／week／month／year, last Saturday, the day before yesterday, in 1998, five?years?ago 等。
【二巧】 形式巧。它与一般现在时一样，形式多样：当主语是第一人称单数或第三人称单数时，谓语动词用 was；主语是第二人称或其他人称复数时，谓语动词用 were。例如：
I was in the classroom yesterday morning． 昨天上午我在教室里。 They were at school last Tuesday．
上周二他们在学校。
【三巧】 否定句结构巧。与动词 be的一般现在时一样，它在动词后面加 not 即可变成否定句，并且 was, were 与 not 可以缩写成 wasn’t, weren’t。即：主语 ＋ wasn’t／ weren’t ＋ 表语 ＋ 其他。例如： I was not (＝wasn’t) here yesterday． 昨天我不在这儿。
【四巧】 疑问句式巧。把 was, were 提到句首，句末用问号即可变为一般疑问句。即：Was (Were) + 主语 + 表语 ＋ 其他？这恰巧与动词 be 的一般现在时的疑问句式相似。
例如： Were you at home the day before yesterday? 前天你在家吗？ Was she late this morning？
今天早上她迟到了吗？
更巧的是疑问句的答语也相似，肯定回答用“Yes, 主语 + was／were．”；否定回答用“No, 主语 + wasn’t／weren’t．”。

句子重音
我们在朗读英语或用英语交谈时，并不是句子中的每个词都读得一样响亮、一样清楚，而是有些词读得或说得又轻又快，而且较为含糊，有些词则读得或说得又重又慢，而且较为清晰。那些读得或说得响亮而清晰的词就是句子重音所在。
句子重音的功能
1. 体现句子的节奏感和韵律感；
2. 突出重点，使听者更容易理解。
哪些词在句子中需重读
1. 一般来说，在句子中需重读的词都是实词，比如名词、动词、形容词、副词、数词、代词等。不重读的多为虚词，比如冠词、连词、介词、感叹词等。
例如:
The streets are wide and clean.
这句话中的streets是名词,wide和clean是形容词，它们都要重读； the, are, and不重读。
I am so glad to see you again.
这句话中的so, glad, see, again要重读，而I, am, to, you不重读。
2. 有时候虚词也要重读，以下几点需注意:
1) 强调或突出某个虚词或be动词时应将其重读。例如:
We saw him playing by the river.
这句话中的we和him一般不重读，但为了表示强调也可以重读。比如,如果we重读，则强调是“我们”而不是别人看见。
2) 介词在句首时往往要重读。例如:
On my way to school, my bike was broken.
3) be动词及助动词和not结合时要重读。
I'm sorry I can't do that.
这句话中的can't要重读。
Didn't I tell you yesterday?
这句话中的didn't要重读。
4)句子末尾的be动词和助动词一般要重读。
-Are you a student?
-Yes, I am. (这里的am要重读。)
注意:上文刚出现过的并且重读的单词，第二次提到时一般不再重读。
