Simple Past Tense
(過去式)
第一部分就要離開“現在” 講解 “過去”。
介紹另一個 Tense時態 Grammar item：past tense 過去式！
Simple Past tense 過去式 應該是大家學英文時第二個接觸的 Tense。（應該係，除非唔係）
不過，不要以為總是用就不會錯。
正正就是因為太常用所以越容易弄亂基本概念。
今天我就在這裏跟大家詳解Simple Past tense 過去式的用法，
快快讀下去看看自己是不是已經完全掌握English Simple Past tense 過去式！
用法1：過去的習慣/
重複的行爲
習慣？
不是應該用present tense 現在式嗎？
習慣都可能有過去的版本。
就好像Spencer Sir 以前做開gym，宜家無做，所以咪中年發福咯！
例句：
He walked to home every day. Sometimes, he took a shortcut.
他每天都步行回家。有時，他會走捷徑。
She played basketball every day when She was in high school.
她上高中的時候每天都打籃球！
用法2：過去同時/緊隨其後發生的兩個或以上的事件
看似非常模糊？
看看例句就會明白！
The moment she saw her son, she stopped crying.
當她看到兒子的那一刻，她停止了哭泣。
I woke up and took a bath.
我醒來後洗了個澡。
這裏允許我將些少Past Continuous Tense 過去進行式。
我會在後面的章節再作詳解！
我們使用過去進行式 + 簡單過去式來表明其中一個動作比另一個動作長：
As he was walking by the dam, he saw water seeping through a small hole.
當他走過大壩時，他看到水從一個小洞裡滲出。
用法3：在一個特定及已知的時間發生的事情
這種情況下，應該都非常自然會用到過去式。
例句：
I met my teacher last Monday.
我上週一遇到了我的老師。
Yesterday, Jennie saved her vase from breaking.
昨天，珍妮救了她的花瓶不被打破。
