英语学习中,动词的过去式是语法基础之一，许多学习者在使用过去式时容易混淆规则变化与不规则变化，导致表达不准确，本文将系统梳理外教常用的过去式单词，帮助学习者清晰记忆并正确运用。
规则动词的过去式
规则动词的过去式变化较为简单,通常直接在动词原形后加 -ed，以下是常见规则：
-
直接加 -ed
- work → worked
- play → played
- want → wanted
-
以不发音的 -e 加 -d
- live → lived
- like → liked
- dance → danced
-
以辅音字母 + y 变 y 为 i 再加 -ed
- study → studied
- try → tried
- carry → carried
-
以重读闭音节结尾且末尾只有一个辅音字母，双写辅音字母再加 -ed
- stop → stopped
- plan → planned
- prefer → preferred
不规则动词的过去式
不规则动词的过去式变化没有固定规律,需要单独记忆，以下是外教课堂中高频出现的不规则动词过去式：
常见高频不规则动词
| 动词原形 | 过去式 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| go | went | She went to the market yesterday. |
| see | saw | I saw a movie last night. |
| take | took | He took the book from the shelf. |
| give | gave | They gave us a gift. |
| find | found | We found the keys under the table. |
容易混淆的不规则动词
有些动词的过去式与原形差异较大,容易误用：
- write → wrote（不是 writed）
- drive → drove（不是 drived）
- break → broke（不是 breaked）
过去式与原形相同的动词
少数动词的过去式与原形一致,需结合上下文判断时态：
- cut → cut
- put → put
- hit → hit
如何高效记忆过去式单词
分类记忆法
将不规则动词按变化模式分组,
- -ought 变化组：bring → brought, buy → bought, think → thought
- -aught 变化组：catch → caught, teach → taught
- 元音变化组：sing → sang, drink → drank, swim → swam
语境练习法
通过句子或短文记忆,
"Yesterday, I ate breakfast, drank coffee, and went to work. In the evening, I read a book and slept early."
外教常用练习方式
