Question

the big minute hand did not move.为什么不是the big minute hand was not move.
什么时候用do?什么时候用be(am/is/are)?什么时候用have?

Answer 1

The big minute hand did not move.（钟表的）大分针没动.
move是动词,所以否定、疑问时用do；如果是形容词或进行时态,则用be动词；have则用于完成时态,或表达“有”的时候使用.如：
The big minute hand was not moving.The big minute hand was standstill.The big minute hand have broken down.The watch have only two hands.(这块手表只有两根指针).
