1. —Where did you go on vacation? 你到哪里去度假了?
—I went to New York City. 我去了纽约城。
注:问句是一般过去时的特殊疑问句,由where引导,需借助助动词did,句中动词用原形。
2. —Did you go out with anyone? 你出去带人吗?
—No, No one was here. Everyone was on vacation. 不,没有人在这儿。大家度去度假了。
注:含有实意动词的一般过去时的陈述句变为一般疑问句时,要借助助动词do的过去式did,将did置于句首,句中动词变为原形。
3. —Did you buy anything special? 你买了什么特别的东西吗?
—Yes, I bought something for my father. 对,我给父亲买了一些东西。
注:当形容词修饰不定代词时,形容词要放在后面作后置定语,即anything special。
4. There was nothing much to do in the evening but read.晚上除了读书以外无事可做。
注:nothing…to do but…表示“除了……外没什么事可做”,句末的read不是过去式,而是动词原型。这一句是省略句,but后省略了动词不定式符号to,完整的句子应该是“There was nothing much to do in the evening but to read books.”
