过去进行时用来表示过去某一时刻正在进行的动作或过去某一阶段一直在进行的动作。肯定结构是由“was/were +现在分词”构成；否定结构是由“was/were + not +现在分词”构成。

[例题1]

— ________ the doctor ________ (watch) TV at that time?

— No, he ________ (search) for some useful information on the Internet.答案：Was; watching; was searching

[例题2]

Jim ________ (not play) football in the playground at four yesterday afternoon.

答案：wasn't playing

*注：有些动词通常不用于进行时，如表1所示：

表1：通常不用进行时的四类动词

2. when、while、as、when、while、as均可用作连词，引导时间状语从句。区别用法如下：

1) 指一段时间时，when、while和as都可用；指一点时间时，只能用when或as；

2) when引导的从句的谓语动作可以在主句谓语动作之前、之后或同时发生；while和as引导的从句的谓语动作必须是和主句谓语动作同时发生；

3) 当主、从句动作同时发生且从句动作为延续性动词时，when、while和as都

可使用；

4) 强调两个动作同时进行，常用“过去进行时+ while +过去进行时”结构；

5) 强调某个动作发生的时候，另一个动作正在进行，常用“一般过去时+ while +过去进行时”结构；

6) 强调某个动作发生的时候，另一个动作突然发生，常用“过去进行时+ when +一般过去时”结构；

7) as有“随着……”，“一边……，一边……”之意。

[例题]
