中文现在一般时与英文过去一般时的讲解
过去一般时：过去一般时用于表示过去发生的动作，或者存在过的状态、特征、身份、性质等。
在有些场合，时间概念比较模糊，按中文讲好像可有现在一般时，但英文要用过去一般时。
例如：
你(刚才)说什么?
√What did you say?
×What do you say?
噢，我(刚才)忘记了。
√Oh,I forgot it.
×Oh,I have forgotten it.
×Oh,I forget it.
你觉得(刚才的)电影怎么样?
√What did you think of the movie?
×What do you think of the movie?
我没想到你会到得这么快。
√I didn’t expect you to arrive so fast.
×I don’t expect you to arrive so fast.
今天上午你在哪里?
√Where were you this morning?
×Where are you this morning?
错误聚焦：
中国学生因为缺乏用过去时描述过去的事件、故事的造句练习，没有形成使用过去时态的习惯，经常误将现在一般时代替过去一般时。例如：
One day I go to school very erly. After I enter the classroom, one of my classmates tell me that the classses today arecanceled. Sol feel very happy.
有一天，我很早去上学。进了教室之后，有个同学告诉我今天的课取消了，所以我感到高兴。
应该改成：
One day I went to school very eraly. After I entered the classroom, one of my classmates told me that the classes that day were/ had been canceled. So I felt very happy.
