are,is像这些都是be动词,were,was分别是它们的过去式,be动词后面不可以直接加动词原形哦,所以play是有一点错的,及时改正就好啦,如果有be动词的话就改be动词,没有be动词就改后面的动词,过去正在进行时就是 We were playing games,如果仅仅只是过去式的话就改成We played games. 我写一写用法,你可以看看
1表示在过去某个时间所发生的动作或所处的状态。 常与yesterday, last week, in 1989, just now, a moment ago, the other day等连用。
如:He was here just now. 他刚才还在这里。
What did you do yesterday? 你昨天做了什么事?
2在过去一段时间内的经常性或习惯性动作。
如:We often played together when we were children. 我们小时候常在一起玩。
注:表示过去经常发生的动作还可用used to 和would。
如:He used to smoke a lot, but he doesn’t now. 他过去经常抽烟,但现在不抽了。
Whenever we were in trouble, he would help us. 每当我们遇到困难,他都会帮助我们。
3表示主语过去的特征或性格。
如:At that time she was very good at English. 那时她英语学得很好。
4用在状语从句中表示过去将来。
如:He said he would wait until they came back.
5一般过去时有时可以表示现在,多与 want, hope, wonder, think, intend 等动词连用,使语气更委婉。
如:I wondered if you could help me. 不知你能不能帮我一下。
有时用一般过去时也是时态一致的需要。
如:I didn’t know you were here. 没想到你在这里。
注意:
1. 表示一系列的动作,尽管有先后,都用一般过去时,最后两个动词之间用and连结。如: He opened the door, rushed out and then disappeared. 他打开门,冲了出去,然后就消失了。
2. 注意在语境中理解“我刚才/原来还不……”。
如:—Your phone number again? I didn’t quite catch it. —It’s 2566666. 请再说一次你的电话号码,好吗?我刚才没听清楚。是2566666。
三、 一般过去时对谓语动词的要求
一般过去时用动词的过去式构成。即一般过去时的谓语动词要用动词的过去式。动词过去式的构成分规则变化和不规则变化两种形式,不规则变化通常需要逐个记忆,规则变化则遵循以下原则:
(1) 一般在动词后加-ed。如:play—played, offer—offered, weigh—weighed, destroy— destroyed, sign—signed.
(2) 在以字母e结尾的动词后,只加-d。如:like—liked, provide—provided, hate — hated, date—dated。
(3) 在以“辅音字母+y”结尾的动词后,则改y为i,再加—ed。如:supply—supplied, fly—flied, study— studied. (from www.yygrammar.com)
(4) 在以单短元音的重读闭音节结尾且,末尾只有一个辅音字母的动词后,双写最后一个辅音字母,再加-ed。如:plan—planned, refer—referred, regret—regretted, ban—banned.
你的这句话有毛病,不会有 We are play games.可以改成We are playing games. 或者 We play games. 现在可以改成过去时态了。第一句改成: We were playing games. 第二句改成: We played games.
