过去进行时讲解及习题

过去进行时讲解与习题

1.概念

过去进行时是表示过去某一时刻或某一时间正在进行或发生的动作,可以从两个方面来理解：

1 过去某一时刻正在进行或发生的动作。

如：They were playing football at ten o’clock yesterday morning.

My mother was cooking when I got home.

I was washing my clothes at this time yesterday.

2 过去某阶段持续进行的动作。

如：I was staying at home last weekend.

常与过去某一特定的时间状语连用，如last night, at that time, at 8:00 yesterday,

last Sunday , at this time yesterday, from 7 to 9 last night等。

也有时没有时间状语，要通过上下文的暗示来确定用过去进行时。E.g. The students all worked hard. Everyone knew what he was working for.

另外，也可用于when/while引导的时间状语从句中。但在复合句中，若主要动作和背景动作是同时发生的，那么主从句都可用过去进行时。

如：It was raining when they left the hospital.

Jenny was reading while Danny was writing.
