Sample writing
过去进行时
1. 概念: 表示过去某个时刻或过去一段时 间正在进行的动作。
2. 句子结构: 主语 + was/were + doing sth. + 时间状语
3. 时间状语词: at 5:00 yesterday afternoon,
at that time, then等连用, 或者用另一动 作来表示过去的时间。
Language points
e.g. They were playing basketball when she arrived.
While they were playing basketball, she arrived.
过去进行时与一般过去时的区别:
过去进行时着重描述当时正在持续进行的动作,它的特点是:暂时,持续和未完成,强调过程;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,而且已经结束了,强调结果。
1) Shirley ______ a book about China last year but I don’t know whether she had finished it.
A. has written B. wrote
C. had written D. was writing
D

2) Mary ____ a dress when she cut her finger.
A. made B. is making
C. was making D. makes
C
was making表示正在做衣服的过程,如用made则表示这一动作已结束,做衣服的动作已结束与cut her finger就没有联系。
3) He ______ (write) a letter, then went to bed.
wrote
wrote表示动作已结束,做另一件事,如用was writing就与went to bed在逻辑上相矛盾。
He ___________ all night last night.
(生动的描写,他一直写……)
He ________ something last night.
(说明他写了……的事实)
was writing
wrote
过去进行时侧重表示动作延长的时间长度; 一般过去时表示过去某时发生过某事,侧重说明事实。
注: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, know, remember, hope, wish, want等;
④ 表示所属关系的动词:belong, have, own, hold (容纳)等。
when和while的区别:
1. 由when引导的时间状语从句,主句用过 去进行时,从句应用一般过去时;
由while引导的时间状语从句,主句用一般过去时,从句应用过去进行时。
When the teacher came in, we were talking.
当此句改变主从句的位置时,则为:
While we were talking, the teacher came in.
Language points
2. 如果从句和主句的动作同时发生,两句都用过去进行时的时候,多用while引导。如:
They were singing while we were dancing.
1. I _________ my homework when Mike ______ last night.
昨天晚上迈克来的时候我正在写作业。
2. While Ann ____________ TV, her father
_______ home.
安正在看电视时,她父亲回来了。
