以上,我將三種不同時(shí)態(tài):過去完成時(shí),過去式進(jìn)行時(shí)和過去式 都用英文作了解釋,并提供了用法,每一種用法下面還附了例句,我想,一看就會很清楚了~
說白了,過去完成時(shí)是不能單獨(dú)用的,比如有兩件事A和B,都發(fā)生在過去,但A發(fā)生在B以前,那麼A用過去完成式,而B則用過去式.
過去式就是單純地指過去所發(fā)生的事.
而過去進(jìn)行也是很少單獨(dú)使用的,常和另一個(gè)句子使用,有兩件事A和B,都發(fā)生在過去,但A和B同時(shí)發(fā)生,那麼其中A(或B) 用過去進(jìn)行,而B(或A)則用過去式.
很簡單吧~^^
