小学英语一般过去时态练习题:
1. Helen ______ her keys in the office so she had to wait until her husband ______ home.
A. has left; comes B. left; had come C. had left; came D. had left; would come

2. —Nancy is not coming tonight.
—But she ______!
A. promises B. promised C. will promise D. had promised
解析:答案选 B。“但她曾经答应要来的”，过去的许诺，故用一般过去时。
3. —You haven’t said a word about my new coat, Brenda. Do you like it?
—I’m sorry I ______ anything about it sooner. I certainly think it’s pretty on you.
A. wasn’t saying B. don’t say C. won’t say D. didn’t say

4. All morning as she waited for the medical report from the doctor, her nervousness ______.

6. I ______ while reading the English textbook. Luckily, my roommate woke me up in time!
A. had fallen asleep B. have fallen asleep C. fell asleep D. fall asleep

7. Sales of CDs have greatly increased since the early 1990s, when people ______ to enjoy the advantages of this new technology.
A. begin B. began C. have begun D. had begun
解析:答案选 B。when引导的是一个非限制性定语从句，when指20世纪90年代初，当然用一般过去时。
8. —I hear Jane has gone to the Holy Island for her holiday.
—Oh, how nice! Do you know when she ______?
A. was leaving B. had left C. has left D. left
解析:答案选 D。因为Jane已经度假去了，“离开”此地就当然是在此之前的过去某个时间了，所以用一般过去时，选D。另外，when通常都不与完成时连用，排除B和C，A也与语境不符。
9. I ______ you not to move my dictionary—-now I can’t find it.
A. asked B. ask C. was asking D. had asked
解析:答案选 A。由now可知前句的意思是:我曾经叫你不要搬动我的词典的 (你偏不听)。“叫”是在过去发生的动作，用一般过去时。
10. The teacher, with 6 girls and 8 boys of her class, ______ visiting a museum when the earthquake struck.
A. was B. were C. had been D. would be
解析:答案选 A。由when the earthquake struck可知，要用一般过去时，排除C和D; 又因为主语是单数the teacher，所以只有A正确。
一般过去时的用法:
一、构成
由动词的过去式表示。be 和have分别为was / were和had.

二、基本用法
表示过去某个时间发生的动作或存在的状态。这个时间可以通过具体的时间状语、从句或上下文等来表示。如:
She bought her friend a present yesterday. 她昨天买了一件礼物给她的朋友。
I lived in this village when I was a boy. 当我还是个孩子的时候我住在这个村庄里。
I went to the city, but my brother remained at home. 我去了城市，可弟弟留在了家里。
I couldn't sew until I was six. 我直到六岁时才会用针缝东西。
—Alice is not coming to your birthday party tonight.
—But she promised.
—艾利斯今晚不来参加你的生日聚会了。
—但是她答应要来的。
过去将来时间的常见表达方式:
was (were) going to+动词原形。
①表示过去某时准备做某事。如:
Marsha said she was going to have a try. 玛莎说她准备试试。
He was going to leave when I came in. 我进来时他正要离开。
②was going to有时可表示过去未曾实现的想法或打算。如:
I was going to see you last night, but I was too busy. 我昨晚本想去看你的，但太忙了。
过去进行时和一般过去时的区别:
(1) 过去进行时通常表示一个过去正在进行的动作;而一般过去时则通常表示一个过去已经完成的动作。如:
I was reading the newspaper last night. 我昨晚在看书。(不一定看完)
I read the newspaper last night. 我昨晚看了报纸。(已经看完)
He was building a model ship out of wood. 他在那里修一座桥。(不一定建成)
He built a model ship out of wood. 他用木头造了个模型船。(已建成)
(2) 少数动词如rain, snow, cough, wear, feel, work等的一般过去时并不表示动作完成，这时用两种时态都可以，且含义区别不大。如:
It snowed / was snowing all day yesterday. 昨天下了一天的雪。
She didn’t feel / wasn’t feeling well that day. 那天她感到不太舒服。
The child coughed / was coughing all night. 这孩子咳嗽了一整夜。
