一般过去式和过去进行时-有答案解析

一般过去式与过去进行时
1.常见形式
1）一般过去时“主+was/were”或者“主+动词过去式”
①I was very surprised when the Alien went into a toy shop.
②The Alien was so cute!
③We were on the playground when the UFO landed.
④When the police arrived, the Alien disappeared suddenly.
注：be动词在一般过去时中表示“是”、“在”，有意义
2）过去进行时“主 + was/were + 过去分词”
①We were playing football when the UFO landed?
②I was eating an apple when the UFO landed?
③I was reading a book when the UFO landed?
注：be动词在过去进行时中只是一个符号，无意义
2.用法
1）一般过去时
(1)表示过去某个时间发生的动作或存在的状态。

①He was at home yesterday.
②I got up at six thirty yesterday morning.
③I visited my aunt last weekend.
(2)表示过去经常或反复发生的动作。

①My father often went to work by bus last year.
②When I was a child, I often listened to music.
③He always carried an umbrella.
(3)常与一般过去时态连用的时间有
①yesterday, yesterday morning, the day before yesterday
②last night last week, last month, last year…
③two days ago, three years ago…
④ a moment ago=just now(刚才）
⑤in 1990, (in 1998…)
⑥this morning, this Monday
⑦When I was 5 years old
2）过去进行时
(1)过去进行时常表示过去某一时刻或过去某一阶段内正在进行的动作。

①I was doing my homework at this time yesterday.（过去某一时刻）
昨天的这个时候我正在做作业。

②I was doing my homework last night. （过去某一阶段内）
昨晚我一直在作业。

(2)过去进行时可描述故事发生的背景。

一个长动作发生的时候，另一个短动作
突然发生。

长动作（延续性动词）用过去进行时，短动作（点动词）用一般过去时。

注：当两种时态用于同一个句子时，过去进行时描述故事发生的背景，过去时报道该事件。

①When my mother came back, I was watching TV.（when + 一般过去时，过去进行时）
②I was watching TV when my mother came back.（过去进行时， when + 一般过去时）
③When(while) I was watching TV, my mother came back.（when/while + 过去进行时, 一般过去时）
④My mother came back when(while) I was watching TV.（一般过去时+ when/while + 过去进行时）
(3)过去进行时可表示两个动作同时进行,有时含“对比”的含义。

（过去进行时
+ while +过去进行时）
注：两个动作同时发生，并且都是长动作（延续性动词）时，才能都用过去进行时。

①While I was watching TV, my mother was cooking.
当我在看电视时，我母亲在做饭。

(4)过去进行时常与always，forever等连用，表示厌恶，埋怨，表扬，喜爱等
感情色彩。

①My father was always smoking when he was young.埋怨
②She was always thinking of others. 表扬
③She was forever complaining. 厌恶
(5)下列几类动词通常不用过去进行时
①表示状态的动词be；
②感官动词：feel，hear，see，smell，taste等；
③表示思维或心理状态的动词：believe（认为），forget，consider（考虑认为），know，understand,remember，hope，wish，want等；
④表示所属关系的动词：belong（属于），have，own（拥有），hold（容纳）等
(6)与过去进行时连用的时间状语有:
①at this（that）time +过去时间
②at ten o’clock+过去时间
③from 6 to 9+过去时间
④those days
⑤由when和while引导的一般过去时的句子
3.过去进行时与一般过去时的区别
1)过去进行时着重描述当时正在持续进行的动作，强调过程;
2)一般过去时表示发生过的动作或存在的状态，即表示动作发生过，或者已经
结束了，强调事实或结果。

①She wrote a letter to her friend last night.她昨晚给她的朋友写了封信（信写完了）
②She was writing a letter to her friend last night.她昨晚一直在给她的朋友写信。

（信不一定写完）
