一直以来，说口语的同时注重时态变化对中国学生都是一个挑战。因为说中文时，我们并不需要变动词形式。
那么有没有避免说过去式的方法呢？
其实很简单，只需要活用这两个情态动词：
1. Would
2. Could
它们就像是挡箭牌，只要放在动词前头，后面就可以大胆用动词原形了。
我们用下面这道独立口语题来示范：
Which of the following three activities do you prefer to do with a group of people rather than alone
A. Eat a meal
B. Listen to music
C. Do homework
耿老师演示题目“标答” 来自臣在托福 00:00 00:39 I would prefer to do homework with a group of people rather than alone because we can help each other so the efficiency is greatly increased. For example, I remember when I was in college, my professor would assign us some tough tasks and none of us in the class know how to do it, so we would do it together. So now it could turn out to be a group project, and we would discuss it in detail before actually doing it. As a result everyone could complete the task in a short period of time. So This is why I would choose to do homework with a group of people. As for the other two options, I think I would prefer doing them alone.
需要注意的是：
1. 用would、could这样的情态动词通常表达的是一种泛指。而用过去式通常是回忆具体某一天、某一次的事件。
2. would翻译成中文就是“会”。
例：当我累的时候，我会小睡一会儿。
Whenever I feel tired, I would take a nap.
3. could对应的中文是“就能”。
例：如果我坐地铁，我就能在10分钟内到达。
If I take the subway, I could arrive at my work place within 10 minutes.
