过去进行时专题

过去进行时

(一)概念：表示过去某段时间或某一时刻正在发生或进行的行为或动作。可从两个方面来理解：①过去某个时间正在发生的动作例：

He was cooking at six last night. 昨天晚上六点，他正在做饭。②过去某段时间正在发生的动作例：

I was staying here from March to May last year. 去年从 3 月到 5 月，我一直呆在这里。

(二)基本结构：was/ were + doing

(三)与过去进行时连用的时间状语，常见的有

at nine last night/ at that time= then/ at this time yesterday / 或有when the teacher came in/ while he was reading 的提示

(四)过去进行时的时间状语:when, while

① while 表示一段时间，因此它所引导的状语从句中，谓语动词常用进行时态，如：When/While we

were having supper, the light went out. 我们正在吃饭时灯熄灭了。

② when 用作并列连词时，主句常用进行时态，从句则用一般过去时，表示主句动作发生的过程中，另一个意想不到的动作发生了。如：

I was walking in the street when someone called me. 我正在街上走时突然有人喊我。
