针对过去时态相关的提问，在雅思考试口语第一部分的提问中也很常见，结合之前做过的总结和举例，宁波环球教育洪芳老师在本文中将继续结合实例，做一些梳理和归纳，并给出相应的答题思路和方法以供参考。

　　一、Did you ever learn to…?

　　e.g. Did you ever learn to swim?

　　Did you ever learn to cook?

　　Did you ever learn to play an instrument?

　　1.思路

　　一般疑问句，一般过去式，所问的是曾经有没有学过什么东西，需要先回答Yes或者No，结合自身情况说明开始学的契机或没有学的原因。

　　2.要点

　　动词过去式的运用以及时间的表达

　　3.例句

　　- Did you ever learn to swim?

　　- Yes, but actually I didn't learn to swim when I was a child. Not until last summer did I learn to swim at the local swimming pool. A swimming lessons instructor taught me and other 3 people. I was introduced to kicking and arm strokes separately, then breathing in as I grew comfortable with my face in the water. I was afraid of water at first, but with practice I got to grips with it.

　　是的，但是我不是小时候就学会游泳的，直到去年夏天我才在一个当地的游泳池学会游泳。我和另外三个人跟着游泳教练学。教练教我们分别先学踢水和手上的姿势，接着当我渐渐适应水里的环境了以后，就学习换气。我开始时很怕水，不过随着练习就渐渐掌握了。

　　二、When you were a child, did you …?

　　e.g. When you were a child, did you ever do any housework?

　　When you were a child, did you collect anything like stamps?

　　When you were a child, did you like drawing (or painting)?

　　1.思路

　　一般疑问句，一般过去式，所问的是小时候做过的事情，回答Yes或者No，结合自身情况详细说明，或解释原因或列举事例。

　　2.要点

　　动词过去式的运用以及时间的表达

　　3.例句

　　- When you were a child, did you ever do any housework?

　　- Absolutely. When I was very little, I made my bed and helped fold clothes. Then by the time I was in junior high school, on weekends, I was responsible for sweeping and mopping the floors, dusting the rooms, doing the laundry and some other household chores except cooking. Well, I was terrible at cooking.

　　当然了。在我还很小的时候，我就自己整理床铺，帮忙折叠衣服。当我去上初中以后，周末的时候，我总是负责扫地和擦地，给房间除尘，洗衣服，还有其他一些家务，除了做饭，我很不会做饭。
