用法說明

How is "Did" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Did"?

did + V 與 did + V-ing 的區別

  • did + V (動詞原形) 是「did」最標準的用法,表示過去發生的單一、已完成的事件或動作。
  • did + V-ing 則較為少見且特定,通常用於強調過去某個活動的「過程」或「經歷」,而非單一動作的完成。
  • 在疑問句或否定句中,did + V 是唯一正確的結構,用來構成過去式的疑問或否定。
  • 使用 did + V-ing 時,常帶有「花時間做了某事」或「經歷了做某事的過程」的含義。 EN: She did finish her homework before dinner. 翻譯: 她確實在晚餐前完成了作業。

EN:She did some gardening this afternoon.

翻譯:她今天下午做了些園藝工作。

EN:Did you call the client yesterday?

翻譯:你昨天打電話給客戶了嗎?

EN:He didn't go to the meeting.

常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Did"?Which "Did" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×I didn't went to the store.

I didn't go to the store.

使用助動詞 'did' 構成否定句時,主要動詞必須使用原形動詞 (base form),而不是過去式。

×Did you ate breakfast?

Did you eat breakfast?

使用助動詞 'did' 構成疑問句時,主要動詞必須使用原形動詞 (base form),而不是過去式。

×I did knew the answer.

I knew the answer.

在肯定句中,'did' 不用來表示簡單過去式。簡單過去式直接由動詞的過去式 (如 knew) 表示。'Did + 原形動詞' 僅用於否定句、疑問句或強調。

×He did not likes coffee.

He does not like coffee.

描述現在的事實或習慣時,主詞為第三人稱單數 (he/she/it),應使用助動詞 'does' 而非 'did'。'Did' 用於過去時態。

×I like the movie. (想要強調)

I did like the movie!

在肯定句中,'did + 原形動詞' 用來強調語氣,表達「確實、真的」的意思。學習者常忽略此用法,導致語氣不夠強烈。

×Did you see it? - Yes, I saw.

Did you see it? - Yes, I did.

回答以 'Did' 開頭的 Yes/No 問句時,簡答應使用助動詞 'did',而不是重複主要動詞的過去式。完整回答才是 'Yes, I saw it.'。
