過去進(jìn)行時(shí)

01 定義

過去進(jìn)行時(shí)(Past continuous tense或Past Progressive tense)，表示過去在某一時(shí)間段或某一段時(shí)間內(nèi)正在發(fā)生或進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作或狀態(tài)。

在英語時(shí)態(tài)中，“時(shí)“指 動(dòng)作 發(fā)生的時(shí)間，”態(tài)“指動(dòng)作的樣子和 狀態(tài) 。

02 結(jié)構(gòu)

was/were+v-ing形式

當(dāng)主語為單數(shù)時(shí)，助動(dòng)詞用was，其余情況下都用were.(v-ing形式為“動(dòng)詞的ing形式”的簡(jiǎn)寫形式。)

03 標(biāo)志詞

與過去進(jìn)行時(shí)常搭配的時(shí)間狀語：at the time“在那時(shí)”/at this time yesterday“在昨天這個(gè)時(shí)候”/at 9:00 yesterday morning“在昨天早上的9點(diǎn)鐘時(shí)”等等。

I was doing my homework at that time.

那時(shí)我正在家做我的家庭作業(yè)。(I屬于第一人稱單數(shù)形式，所以be動(dòng)詞選擇was，was為is的一般過去時(shí)。Was+doing構(gòu)成過去進(jìn)行時(shí)的結(jié)構(gòu)。do one's homework為固定搭配“做某人的家庭作業(yè)”。at that time)為固定的過去的時(shí)間狀語“在那時(shí)”，常與過去時(shí)態(tài)的句子連用。)

04 基本句式

1.肯定句：主語+was/were+v-ing形式+其他成分。

We were playing the piano at eight last night.昨晚8點(diǎn)鐘我們正在彈鋼琴。(we為復(fù)數(shù)的第一人稱，所以be動(dòng)詞要用復(fù)數(shù)的are，were為are的一般過去時(shí)態(tài)。Were+playing構(gòu)成句子的過去進(jìn)行時(shí)，句子中具體的過去時(shí)間狀語是at eight last night“昨晚8點(diǎn)鐘”，提醒大家，此句子的謂語動(dòng)詞要用過去時(shí)態(tài)。冉老師還要提醒大家，play the piano”彈鋼琴”與play basketball”打籃球”。樂器有the，運(yùn)動(dòng)類無the.)2. 否定句：主語+wasn't/weren't+v-ing形式+其他成分。

We weren't playing the piano at eight last night.

昨晚八點(diǎn)我們沒有在彈鋼琴。(weren't=were+not,是兩個(gè)單詞的縮略形式。過去進(jìn)行時(shí)的否定形式和大部分否定一樣，把not放在動(dòng)詞之后，此句的動(dòng)詞是be動(dòng)詞，所以not的位置就在be動(dòng)詞之后。)3. 一般疑問句：Was/were+主語+v-ing形式+其他成分?

Were you playing the piano at eight last night?

你們昨晚8點(diǎn)鐘在彈鋼琴嗎?(類似于含有be動(dòng)詞的一般疑問句一樣，首先要把be動(dòng)詞提前，然后按照原句，變換句中的人稱代詞。此句子中，在陳述句中的we“我們”，疑問句中就要變成you“你們”，注意，句末的句號(hào)也要變成問號(hào)。)一般疑問句的回答

肯定回答：Yes,主語+was/were.否定回答：No,主語+was't/weren't.Were you playing the piano at eight last night?

肯定回答-Yes, we were.是的，我們?cè)趶椾撉佟７穸ɑ卮?No,we weren't.不，我們沒有在彈鋼琴。4.特殊疑問句：疑問詞+was/were+主語+v-ing形式+其它?

—What was he doing at this time yesterday?

—He was reading books.

06 過去進(jìn)行時(shí)與一般過去時(shí)的區(qū)別

試比較：

一、 時(shí)間狀語不同一般過去時(shí)的時(shí)間狀語主要有：yesterday (morning, afternoon, evening), last night (week, month, year), ago, the day before yesterday, in 2003, just now, long long ago, one day等;過去進(jìn)行時(shí)的時(shí)間狀語有：at this / that time yesterday, the whole evening, all day yesterday等。He introduced Tom to us just now.剛才他向我們介紹了湯姆。She was doing some washing all day yesterday.昨天她洗了一整天的衣服。二、 強(qiáng)調(diào)動(dòng)作的角度不同一般過去時(shí)強(qiáng)調(diào)動(dòng)作的發(fā)生或狀態(tài)的存在;而過去進(jìn)行時(shí)強(qiáng)調(diào)動(dòng)作正在進(jìn)行的延續(xù)性。I got up at five the day before yesterday.前天我是五點(diǎn)起床的。He was painting the lab the whole day yesterday.昨天他一整天都在粉刷實(shí)驗(yàn)室。三、 動(dòng)詞的特點(diǎn)不同1. 行為動(dòng)詞在這兩種時(shí)態(tài)中均可使用。We planted trees two days ago.兩天前我們植樹了。We were planting trees this time last Friday.上周五這時(shí)候我們?cè)谥矘洹?. 有些動(dòng)詞只用于一般過去時(shí)，而不能用于過去進(jìn)行時(shí)。1) 表示感觀的動(dòng)詞：feel, hear, know, see, smell, taste等。2) 表示狀態(tài)、感情的動(dòng)詞：be, dislike, have, hate, love, like, want, wish等。3) 表示心理活動(dòng)的動(dòng)詞：forget, realize, recognize, remember, understand等。4) 表示所屬關(guān)系的動(dòng)詞：own, belong 等。3. 一般過去時(shí)的謂語動(dòng)詞既可是延續(xù)性的也可是終止性的;過去進(jìn)行時(shí)的謂語動(dòng)詞只能是延續(xù)性的。Li Jian joined the army in 1998.李健于1998年參軍。( join為終止性動(dòng)詞)She was cooking at that time. 那時(shí)她在做飯。(cook為延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞)四、 情感不同一般過去時(shí)是對(duì)過去事實(shí)的客觀描述，語氣比較客觀、肯定;過去進(jìn)行時(shí)有時(shí)也可表示埋怨、厭煩等情緒，帶有描繪性和感情色彩。

試比較：

The plane took off late this morning.這架飛機(jī)今天早上起飛晚了。(說明客觀事實(shí))The plane was always taking off late.這架飛機(jī)總是起飛晚。(帶有埋怨情緒，指責(zé)某事的發(fā)生)
