inthepast,in the past用什么时态

in the past用于一般过去时inthepast。in the past的意思是“在过去”，所连用的时态有：

1、如果是用作时间状语，可连用一般过去时或现在完成时，两者的区别是：用一般过去时，客观地叙述过去的情况；用现在完成时，强调持续到现在的状态或对现在影响。如:

In the past he had to read by candlelight. 过去他只得在烛光下攻读。

I’ve been there many times in the past. 我从前去过那儿很多次。

2、如果是用于名词后作定语，句子时态可根据情况选用。如：

He could remember events far back in the past. 他能记得很早以前的事情。

He will never forget his miserable childhood in the past. 他永远也忘不了自己过去的悲惨的童年。

介词短语 in the past在句中用时间状语时，既可以连用一般过去时，也可以连和现在完成时，这两者的区别：

The capital of England is London. In the past it was Winchester.英国现在的首都是伦敦，过去是温切斯特。

2、与现在完成时连用：用现在完成时，强调持续到现在的状态或对现在影响。
