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))

當(dāng)我看見(jiàn)他的時(shí)候他正在裝飾房間。 (when從句表示時(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)。

例如：

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)

He was cleaning his car while I was cooking.

他擦車時(shí)我在做飯。(兩個(gè)動(dòng)作同時(shí)進(jìn)行)

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. 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
