第二个句型,一般过去时:就是表达过去发生的事,等于中文的“了”。(不是将来;也不是经常动作)
用法很简单:一是将be动词变位成过去时,即:I /he/she用was;we/you/they用were。
如否定句,就是wasn’t; weren’t. 如是疑问句就将was;were放在句子前面。

二是动作动词大多加ed. 少数动词有不规则变位

He/She didn’t come back this morning.(他/她今天上午没回来)。
Did he / she come back this morning? (他/她今天上午回来了吗?)
Yes, he/she did; No, he /she didn’t.
注意:一般疑问句的回答,是用do(don’t; does;doesn’t; did; didn’t),不是用行动动词。
Didn’t he/she come back this morning?(他/她今天上午没回来?)
Yes, he/she did; No, he / she didn’t.
I (you/he/she/they) could come back this morning.(我(你/你们/他她/他们)上午能回来)。
I(you/he/she/they) could not / couldn't come back this morning.
(我(你/你们/他她/他们)上午不能回来)。

Yes, I(he/she/they) would; No,I(he/she/they) wouldn’t.
Wouldn’t you(he/she/they) come back this morning? (你、你们(她/他们)上午将不回来吗?)

Why did you come back this morning?(你上午为什么回来了?)
Why didn’t you come back this morning?(你上午为什么不回来?)
Why not came back this morning?(为什么回来了?)
注意:以Why 开头的否定疑问句里,如果有人称,why 后就是don’t(doesn’t; did,didn’t) +
人称;比如Why didn’t you come back this morning?
如没有人称,那就用Why not....。比如:Why not come back this morning?
第三个句型,现在进行时:就是说话当时的动作或正在发生的事。
用法很简单,就是be动词(am is are) + ving. 如否定句,就是be not+ving.
I am watching TV right now. (我现在正在看电视) 。

You (你或你们)aren’t watching TV right now.(你、你们现在不在看电视)。

Yes,we are; No, we aren’t.
Aren’t you(你或你们)watching TV right now?(你、你们不在看电视吗?)
Yes,we are; No, we aren’t.
注意:现在进行时回答时,只是说Yes, 然后人称 + be; No,人称 +be not.
并不复述提问句里的动作动词。如上面的二个例句。
He/She is watching TV right now.(他/她在看电视)。
He/She isn’t watching TV right now. (他/她不在看电视)。
Is he /she watching TV right now? (他/她是在看电视吗?)
