過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞結(jié)構(gòu)：was/were +doing (現(xiàn)在分詞)

三. 用法

1.過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)表示過(guò)去某段時(shí)間內(nèi)持續(xù)進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作或者事情。

常用的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)this morning, the whole morning, all day yesterday, from nine to ten last evening, when, while等。例如：

We were watching TV from seven to nine last night.

昨天晚上七點(diǎn)到九點(diǎn)的時(shí)候我們?cè)诳措娨暋?/p>

當(dāng)我到達(dá)山頂?shù)臅r(shí)候，陽(yáng)光燦爛。

2. 過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)可以表示在過(guò)去某個(gè)時(shí)間點(diǎn)發(fā)生的事情。

時(shí)間點(diǎn)可以用介詞短語(yǔ)、副詞或從句來(lái)表示。例如：

昨天晚上九點(diǎn)她在做什么? (介詞短語(yǔ)表示時(shí)間點(diǎn))

She was doing her homework then.

那個(gè)時(shí)候她正在寫作業(yè)。(副詞表示時(shí)間點(diǎn))

3. 在復(fù)合句中，如果主要?jiǎng)幼骱捅尘皠?dòng)作都是延續(xù)的或同時(shí)發(fā)生的，那么主從句的動(dòng)詞都可用過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)。

When he was waiting for the bus, he was reading a newspaper.

他邊等車邊看報(bào)。 (兩個(gè)動(dòng)作都是延續(xù)的)

【典型例題】

1) Mary ___ a dress when she cut her finger.

A. made

B. is making

C. was making

D. makes

答案C. 割傷手指是已發(fā)生的事情，應(yīng)用過(guò)去時(shí)。同時(shí)，when表時(shí)間的同時(shí)性，“瑪麗在做衣服時(shí)”提供事情發(fā)生的背景，因此用過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)。

2) As she ___ the newspaper, Granny ___ asleep.

A. read; was falling

B. was reading; fell

C. was reading; was falling

D. read;fell

答案B.句中的as = when, while，意為"當(dāng)……之時(shí)"。描述一件事發(fā)生的背景時(shí)，用過(guò)去進(jìn)行;一個(gè)長(zhǎng)動(dòng)作發(fā)生的時(shí)候，另一個(gè)短動(dòng)作發(fā)生。句意為 "在她看報(bào)紙時(shí)，奶奶睡著了。"句中的 fell (fall的過(guò)去時(shí))，是系動(dòng)詞，后跟形容詞，如：fall sick。

四. 過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)和一般過(guò)去時(shí)的區(qū)別

1. 一般過(guò)去時(shí)敘述舊事，過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)描述背景。

2.一般過(guò)去時(shí)表示行為的“整體”和存在的狀態(tài)，過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)表某一行為的“片斷”。

I read the book yesterday. (已讀完，表整個(gè)“讀”)

I was reading the book at that time. (未讀完，“讀”的片段)

3. 過(guò)去的一段持續(xù)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)多與過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)連用。

It was raining all night.(優(yōu)先用was raining ,rained 為持續(xù)動(dòng)詞，故也可使用)

He was writing a letter the whole of afternoon. (短暫動(dòng)詞與持續(xù)時(shí)間連用，表反復(fù)，連續(xù)發(fā)生，不可用一般過(guò)去時(shí))

五. 注意

英語(yǔ)中有四類動(dòng)詞一般不用進(jìn)行時(shí)（不用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)和過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)）。

1. 表心理狀態(tài)、情感的動(dòng)詞

如love ,hate ,like ,care ,respect ,please ,prefer ,know 等，若用進(jìn)行時(shí)則詞意改變。

I’m forgetting it . (=beginning to forget )

2. 表存在、狀態(tài)的動(dòng)詞

如appear ,exist ,lie ,remain ,stand ,seem等。

3. 表感官的動(dòng)詞
