Pronunciation 1

“了”：①助词，动作的实现、完成；②语气词，某种状态的改变、新情况的出现。（“了”有很多用法）
今天我们先来说其中一种用法：动作的完成或者是状态的实现。
例子：吃了3个桃子。买了一双鞋子。下了课就去看电影。（动词-动作的完成）
           今年我弟长高了2厘米。经过3个月的努力，我瘦了10斤。他白了脸说：吓死我了！（形容词-状态的实现）
           我对他有了新的看法。没了信心。（状态的存在）
           他答应了我的求婚。你竟然相信了她的话。（心理状态）
           她病了很多年，只能躺着。自从他的爱人死了，他就疯了。（状态动词）
           我儿子在他的保温杯里养了一条鱼。床上躺了一个老人。（含“状态”的语义特征）
问题思考：今天讲的“了”是英语中的过去时吗？
