Was和Were的区别
这两个单词的用法区别我知道,基本的英语四六级单词用法我还记得,就让我来告诉大家吧~~
Was和Were在一般过去时和过去进行时中,区别是:
was 用于第一人称和第三人称单数
were 则用于第二人称和第三人称复数。
下图是我整理的一张基本对比图,可以粗略的先看一下~
如果还是不理解,没关系,下面我再继续详细从它们的含义和具体用法两个方面来介绍一下~
先来说一下它们的含义
1、含义的不同
(1)was 的含义。
读音是:英式音标[wɒz] 美式音标[wʌz, wɑz,wəz]
was是be的第一和第三人称单数过去式。
(2)were 的含义。
读音是:美式读音[wər; wɜːr] 英式读音[wər; wɜːr]
主要用作为动词、名词。作动词时意为“是,在(are的过去式)”,作名词时意为“(英、肯)沃尔”。
下面继续介绍一下两者的用法的区别
2、用法及举例
(1) 一般过去时:
例句:He was walking down the street when he saw a strange man.
翻译:他正在街上走,就在那时他看到了一个陌生人。
(2)过去进行时:
例句:She was studying for her exams when I called her.
翻译:我打电话给她的时候,她正在复习考试。
(3)过去完成时:
例句:He was exhausted after he had finished his work.
翻译:他完成工作后感到很疲惫。
(4)虚拟语气:
例句:If I were you, I would take a break.
翻译:如果我是你,我会休息一下。
(5)条件句:
例句:I would be happy if he were here.
翻译:如果他在这里的话,我会很高兴。
通过上面的例子可以看出:
was用于一般过去时,过去进行时和过去完成时,而were则用于虚拟语气和条件句。
在一般过去时和过去进行时中,was用于第一人称和第三人称单数,而were则用于第二人称和第三人称复数。在过去完成时中,was和were都可以用于第一人称和第三人称单数,但是were也可以用于第二人称和第三人称复数。
在虚拟语气和条件句中,was和were都可以用于第一人称和第三人称单数,但是were也可以用于第二人称和第三人称复数。
总之,was和were的用法有所不同,was用于一般过去时,过去进行时和过去完成时,而were则用于虚拟语气和条件句,并且were可以用于第二人称和第三人称复数,而was则不能。
