1.一般过去时常表示过去某一时间所发生的动作或存在的状态。一般过去时常和表示过去的状语连用，如a minute ago, yesterday,last week,in1900,during the night,in those days等。用一般过去时的时候，要表示"过多少时间之后"一般用after,不用in
如： Tom suddenly fel ill yesterday
Tom 昨天突然生病了。

She didn't look well when i lat saw her
我上次看见她的时候，她脸色不好

2.一般过去时也可与 today,this week,this month ,this year 等时间状语连用。但是这些时间状语必须指过去，决不包括"现在"在内
如： Did you see him today?
今天你见过他了吗？
（today实际上指的是今天的过去某一时刻）

3.一般过去时虽不可以与now连用 ，但却可以和just now（刚才）连用。
如：He went out just now
他刚出去了

4.一般过去时表示过去的时候还有以下一些情况
①：用于since从句，主句的谓语动词如果用现在完成时。其后接的since引导的从句一般须用一般过去时
如：It's been over a year since i came back from the countryside
我从乡下回来已经一年了
（主句的谓语动词 has been 也可以改为 is 但美国英语多用现在完成时）

②：时间状语可以省略，前面说过一般过去时常与表过去的时间状语连用，但下面一些情况下，时间状语可以省略---从上文可以清楚地看出来时间状语
如：Did you sleep well?

---前文如有现在完成时所引导时
如：I have been within an inch of life ,and didn't know it!
---和现在时态对比时候
如： He is no longer the man he was
---有表示过去习惯的used to 时候
如:I used to play football in the street

③:所表的动作已经完成
如：I read a book last week
上星期我读了一本书

④： 表示死者的动作和状态。在英语中。说道死去的人的时候，一般用过去时表示

如： Who is the man in the picture? 照片上的人是谁？
He was my father. 他是我父亲

⑤： 有感情色彩的时候如：You asked for it!
你这是自找！
