英文garmmar:was/were和did

2008-06-05 9:36 pm
係英文入面,我知道was/were同did都係過去式,但係係句子既用法上,我就唔多明,點解有d句子要用was/were,而有d句子就要用did呢?而其實佢地係咪可以調轉來用,不過只係所表達既意思或語氣唔同既者?

for example:
1.were sue and paul at the party last night?
(係呢度,我可唔可以咁寫呢? did sue and paul have go to the party?)

2.how did the accident happen?
(呢句我又可唔可以寫成 how was the accident happen 呢?)

依家我係由最基本既文法學起,所以希望各位係解答既時候,可以詳細d話俾我知,點解得,點解唔得,thank you v.much!!
更新1:

謝謝pui_ming722的回答,但係可否講多少少. 例如第一句中,只有were一個verb,但係verb to be唔係一個is am are etc. 拖一個verb+ing既咩?呢句上面點解可以唔使既?同埋我所改寫既句子,其實係得唔得架? 又例如一句: 3.did it rain on sunday? 同埋 was it rain last sunday? 佢地最主要既分別係係邊度呢?

dsse6571 , 請問咁我所寫既例3後面個句其實係咪錯左?應該寫成rainning先岩呢?其實所謂既連續性,點去定義既呢?好似你既其中一句例句係寫: i went lunch at noon. 食飯唔係應該一個連續性既動作咩? 咁我可唔可以寫作: i was having lunch last day afternoon. 呢? thx !!

✔ 最佳答案
was/were係Past Continuous Structure:
The past continuous is usually used to refer to events happening at the same time that something important happened in the past.
過去連續通常被用於提到事件發生,同時事以前發生的重要.
Positive
Subject + conjugate the helping verb "be" + verb + -ing.
I was, You were, He was, She was, We were, You were, They were -> watching TV when I arrived.

Negative
Subject + conjugate the helping verb "be" + not + verb + -ing.
I wasn't, You weren't, He wasn't, She wasn't, We wasn't, You wasn't, They wasn't -> working when he came into the room.

Questions
Question word + conjugate the helping verb 'be' + subject + verb + -ing
What -> were you, they -> doing at seven o'clock?
What -> was I, he, she -> doing at seven o'clock?

did係Past Simple Structure:
Positive
Subject + Verb + ed OR Irregular Past Form + Objects
I, You, He, She, We, They -> played golf yesterday afternoon.
I, You, He, She, We, They -> went lunch at noon.
Negative
Subject + did not (didn't) + Verb + Objects
I, You, He, She, We, They -> didn't go on vacation last summer.
Subject + did not (doesn't) + Verb + Objects

如果用例3,你可以話...It was raining at 4 o'clock on Sunday.落雨可能係between 2o'clock to 6 o'clock.係這段時間都係落雨.雖然was/were/did都係past tense,但係was/were係past continous,通常使用過去連續,當一次行動在別的之前開始了,并且在它以後完成.

若果句子的主動詞有輔助動詞,那麼你就用個輔助動詞作提問。不然的話,若主動詞是to be,你就用to be作提問。否則,你就用to do作提問。提問詞要跟主詞和時態起變化。

I run. (Run 沒有輔助動詞,又不是to be,所以用to do) > Do I run?
He runs. > Does he run?
I ran. > Did I run?
We ran. > Did we run?

He will run. (Will 是輔助動詞) > Will he run?
They should run. (Should是輔助動詞) > Should they run?
We must run. (Must 是輔助動詞) > Must we run?
John can run. (Can 是輔助動詞) > Can John run?
Mary could run. (Could 是輔助動詞) > Could Mary run?

I have run. (Have 在這裡是輔助動詞)> Have I run?
He has run. > Has he run?

I am running. (Am 在這裡是輔助動詞) > Am I running?
He is running. > Is he running?

I am a boy. (Am在句子不是輔助動詞,但是to be,所以用to be) > Am I a boy?
She is a girl. > Is she a girl?
We are Chinese. > Are we Chinese?
I was sick yesterday. > Was I sick yesterday?
