fish, bowl, teacher, empty, library

点一下不认识的单词。

Our class has a small orange fish. His name is Goldie, and he lives in a big glass bowl next to the window. Every Friday, one child takes care of him.

Last Friday, it was my turn. I gave Goldie his food and I cleaned the bowl with our teacher, Miss Li.

On Monday morning, the bowl was empty! Everyone looked under the desks and behind the books. Nobody found Goldie. I felt very sad.

Then Miss Li smiled. “Goldie is fine,” she said. “He is in a new, bigger bowl in the library. Come and see!” We all ran to the library. Goldie swam happily in his new home.

难句解析

  1. 1

    Last Friday, it was my turn.

    "it was my turn" 意思是“轮到我了”。这里的 turn 不是“转弯”，而是轮流做事时“轮到的一次”。

  2. 2

    Nobody found Goldie.

    nobody 意思是“没有人”，句子本身已经是否定的，所以不用再加 not。

本篇语法

一般过去时 (Past simple)

一般过去时表示过去某个时间发生并已经结束的事：I visited Beijing last year. 规则动词加 -ed：walk → walked；很多常用动词是不规则的：go → went, see → saw, have → had。否定和疑问用 did + 动词原形：I didn't see him. Did you call her?

verb-ed / irregular form · did / didn't + base verb

故事中的例句

  • I gave Goldie his food and I cleaned the bowl with our teacher, Miss Li.
  • Everyone looked under the desks and behind the books.
  • Nobody found Goldie.

常见错误

说过去的事时动词不变（中文用“了”“昨天”表示时间）。

Yesterday I go to the park.

Yesterday I went to the park.
