10：初中生学过去时。可是在背不规则动词的过去式时很难背出来。有什么窍门吗？

Question 10: Now I am learning the grammatical item "past simple tense". I feel it very difficult to remember the irregular forms of the irregular verbs. Are there any knacks?

Answer: In the English study, mere understanding is not enough. There are many things you should memorize, such as the irregular forms of the irregular verbs. Speaking of the knacks, when you know the past forms of some irregular verbs, you will find some rules. For example, the past from of the verb "sleep" is "slept", and the past form of "sweep" is "swept". Then you can find that the past forms of the irregular verbs ending with "-eep" is "-ept". In memorizing the irregular forms of some verbs, you'd better try to find some "rules", which will help you a lot.

问题10：我是个初中生，现在正在学过去时。可是在背不规则动词的过去式时，我觉得很难背出来。有什么窍门吗？

回答：在学英语时，光凭理解是不够的，有很多东西还是要靠记忆的，动词过去式就是其中之一。要说窍门，在多背一些动词的不规则过去式后，你会发现还是有一些规律的。如sleep的过去式是slept，sweep的过去式是swept，你可以发现-eep结尾的动词的过去式往往是-ept。学习时要注意总结。
