○一般过去时训练营
当我们要表达过去的状态、特征、行为等时，我们常常要使用一般过去时，这时句子中的谓语要用动词的过去式。很多一般过去时的句子包含表示过去的时间状语，如yesterday、last year等。让我们一起观察下面的语段，体会一般过去时的含义和用法，找出其中动词的过去式吧。
Last Saturday, I played basketball with my friends. I arrived at the court early. It was a perfect day for sports. We started the game right away. I passed the ball quickly and tried to shoot. I jumped high to catch the ball. Then I threw the ball really hard, and it flew straight into the basket. We were so excited. Once, I stopped suddenly to avoid bumping(撞）into others. After an hour, we finished the game. Everyone was tired but happy. We decided to play again next week because we all felt such gatherings(聚会）always brought us lots of fun.
