Thì quá khứ đơn trong tiếng Anh

QUÁ KHỨ ĐƠN
Past simple
I. Khái niệm thì quá khứ đơn
Thì quá khứ đơn (Past simple) dùng để diễn tả hành động sự vật đã xảy ra trong quá khứ
hoặc vừa mới kết thúc.
Ví dụ:
We went shopping yesterday. (Ngày hơm qua chúng tôi đã đi mua sắm)
He didn’t come to school last week. (Tuần trước cậu ta không đến trường.)
II. Công thức thì q khứ đơn
Thể

Động từ tobe

Động từ thường

Cơng thức: S + was/ were +
O

Công thức: S + V-ed/ VQK
(bất quy tắc) + O

S = I/ He/ She/ It (số ít) +
was

Khi chia động từ có quy tắc
ở thì q khứ, ta chỉ cần
thêm hậu tố "-ed" vào cuối
động từ

S= We/ You/ They (số
nhiều) + were

Khẳng định
Ví dụ 1: My computer was
broken yesterday. (máy tính
của tơi đã bị hỏng hơm qua)

Có một số động từ khi sử
dụng ở thì q khứ không
theo qui tắc thêm “-ed”.
Những động từ này ta cần
học thuộc.

Ví dụ 2: They were in Paris
on their summer holiday
Ví dụ 1: She watched this
last year. (Họ ở Paris vào kỳ film yesterday. (Cơ ấy đã
nghỉ hè năm ngối.)
xem bộ phim này hơm qua.)
Ví dụ 2: I went to sleep at
11p.m last night. (Tôi đi
ngủ 11 tối qua)


Phủ định

S + was/were not +
Object/Adj

S + did not + V (nguyên
thể)

Đối với câu phủ định ta chỉ
cần thêm “not” vào sau
động từ “to be”.

Trong thì quá khứ đơn câu
phủ định ta mượn trợ động
từ “did + not” (viết tắt là
“didn’t), động từ theo sau ở
dạng nguyên thể.)

CHÚ Ý:
– was not = wasn’t
– were not = weren’t
Ví dụ:
– She wasn’t very happy
last night because of having
lost money. (Tối qua cô ấy
khơng vui vì mất tiền)
-We weren’t at home
yesterday. (Hơm qua chúng
tơi khơng ở nhà.)

Nghi vấn

Ví dụ 1: He didn’t play
football last Sunday. (Anh
ấy đã khơng chơi bóng đá
vào chủ nhật tuần trước.)
Ví dụ 1: We didn’t see him
at the cinema last night.

(Chúng tôi không trông thấy
anh ta tại rạp chiếu phim tối
hôm qua.)

Câu hỏi: Was/Were+ S +
Object/Adj?

Câu hỏi: Did + S +
V(nguyên thể)?

Trả lời: Yes, I/ he/ she/ it +
was.
– No, I/ he/ she/ it + wasn’t
Yes, we/ you/ they + were.
– No, we/ you/ they +
weren’t.

Trong thì quá khứ đơn với
câu hỏi ta mượn trợ động từ
“did” đảo lên trước chủ
ngữ, động từ theo sau ở
dạng nguyên thể.

Câu hỏi ta chỉ cần đảo động
từ “to be” lên trước chủ
ngữ.

Ví dụ 1: Did you visit Ha
Noi Museum with your
class last weekend? (Bạn có

đi thăm bảo tàng Hà Nội với
lớp của bạn cuối tuần trước
hay khơng?)

Ví dụ 1: Was she tired of
hearing her customer’s
complaint yesterday? (Cơ
ấy có bị mệt vì nghe khách
hàng phàn nàn ngày hôm
qua không?)

Yes, I did./ No, I didn’t.
(Có, mình có./ Khơng, mình
khơng.)


Yes, she was./ No, she
wasn’t. (Có, cơ ấy có./
Khơng, cơ ấy khơng.)
Ví dụ 2: Were they at work
yesterday? (Hơm qua họ có
làm việc khơng?)

Ví dụ 2: Did she miss the
train yesterday? (Cơ ta có lỡ
chuyến tàu ngày hơm qua
hay khơng?)
Yes, She did./ No, She
didn’t. (Có, cậu ta có./
Khơng, cậu ta khơng.)

Yes, they were./ No, they
weren’t. (Có, họ có./
Khơng, họ khơng.)

III. Cách chia động từ ở thì quá khứ
Ta thêm “-ed” vào sau động từ:
-

Thông thường ta thêm “ed” vào sau động từ.

Ví du: watch – watched / turn – turned/ want – wanted/ attach – attached/
-

Động từ tận cùng là “e” -> ta chỉ cần cộng thêm “d”.

Ví dụ: type – typed/ smile – smiled/ agree – agreed
-

Động từ có MỘT âm tiết, tận cùng là MỘT phụ âm, trước phụ âm là MỘT nguyên
âm -> ta nhân đôi phụ âm cuối rồi thêm “-ed”.

Ví dụ : stop – stopped/ shop – shopped/ tap – tapped /
-

Ngoại lệ một số từ khơng áp dụng quy tắc đó: commit – committed/ travel –
travelled/ prefer – preferred
Động từ tận cùng là “y”:

+ Nếu trước “y” là MỘT nguyên âm (a,e,i,o,u) ta cộng thêm “ed”.

Ví dụ: play – played/ stay – stayed


+ Nếu trước “y” là phụ âm (còn lại ) ta đổi “y” thành “i + ed”.
Ví dụ: study – studied/ cry – cried
•

Cách phát âm "-ed":

+ Đọc là /id/: khi tận cùng của động từ là /t/, /d/
+ Đọc là /t/: khi tận cùng của động từ là /ch/, /s/, /x/, /sh/, /k/, /f/, /p/
+ Đọc là /d/: khi tận cùng của động từ là các phụ âm và nguyên âm còn lại
Một số động từ bất qui tắc khơng thêm “ed”.
Có một số động từ khi sử dụng ở thì q khứ khơng theo qui tắc thêm “ed”. Những
động từ này ta cần tự học thuộc chứ không có một qui tắc chuyển đổi nào. Dưới đây
một số động từ bất quy tắc
