(一)语法讲解:过去进行时
概念
过去进行时表示在过去某一时刻或某一段时间内进行或发生的动作。其形式为was /were + v.-ing。常与表示过去的时间状语连用,如:last night, last saturday等;或者与when, while, as引导的过去时间状语连用。例如:
we were watching tv from seven to nine last night.
昨天晚上七点到九点的时候我们在看电视。
what was he researching all day last sunday?
上周日他一整天都在研究什么?
用法
过去进行时可以表示在过去某个时间点发生的事情。时间点可以用介词短语、副词或从句来表示。如:
what was she doing at nine o’clock yesterday?
昨天晚上九点她在做什么? (介词短语表示时间点)
when i saw him he was decorating his room.
当我看见他的时候他正在装饰房间。 (when从句表示时间点)
• 在复合句中,如果主要动作和背景动作都是延续的或同时发生的,那么主从句的动词都可用过去进行时。例如:
while he was waiting for the bus, he was reading a newspaper.
他边等车边看报。 (两个动作都是延续的)
he was cleaning his car while i was cooking.
他擦车时我在做饭。(两个动作同时进行)
• 通常不能用于过去进行时的动词主要有:agree, be, believe, belong, care, forget, hate,
have(拥有), hear, know, like, love, mean, mind, notice, own, remember, seem, suppose, understand, want, wish等。例如:
误:i was knowing the answer.
正:i knew the answer. 我知道答案。
误:i wasn’t understanding him.
正:i didn’t understand him. 我不明白他的意思。
• 句型
肯定句:主语+was/were+doing+其它
否定句:主语+was/were+not+doing+其它
一般疑问句及答语:was/were+主语+doing+其它
特殊疑问句:特殊疑问词+was/were+主语+doing+其它
• 过去进行时和一般过去时的区别
