英语中的情态动词一般过去时结构使用助动词“did”来表示,而情态动词本身不需要变化。这种结构可以用于陈述句和疑问句,但需要注意主语的人称和数以及疑问句的语序。
本文将介绍情态动词一般过去时的结构。一般过去时用于表示过去某个时间发生的动作或状态。在情态动词中,一般过去时需要通过助动词“did”来表示。例如:
- She could swim when she was young.(她小时候能游泳。)
- He would always help his neighbors.(他总是会帮助他的邻居。)
- They should have arrived by now.(他们现在应该已经到了。)
需要注意的是,情态动词一般过去时的结构中,情态动词本身不需要变化,而助动词“did”则需要根据主语的人称和数变化。例如:
| 主语 | 结构 | | --- | --- | | I | could not | | you / we / they | could not | | he / she / it | could not |
此外,情态动词一般过去时也可以用于提出疑问。在这种情况下,需要将助动词“did”放在句首,并将情态动词放在“did”后面。例如:
- Did you could swim when you were young?(你小时候能游泳吗?)
- Would he always help his neighbors?(他以前总是会帮助他的邻居吗?)
- Should they have arrived by now?(他们现在应该已经到了吗?)
