用括号中词的一般过去时或过去进行时来完成下面的句子
1. A: What (you, do) _____ when the accident occurred
B: I (try) _____ to change a light bulb that had burnt out.
答案:were you doing,was trying
A:事故发生时你在干什么?
B:我正试着换一个烧坏的灯泡。
解析:when 引导的时间状语从句,表示发生在过去的某个时间点(事故发生的时候),所以主句用过去进行时。

答案:found,immediately went,turned
当我发现钱包里装满了钱后,我立即去报警并把它交了上去。
解析:After 引导的时间状语从句描述的是完成的动作状态,所以用一般过去时;immediately 是时间频度副词,一般放在实义动词之前,系动词、第一助动词或情态动词之后。
四、过去进行时和一般过去时的的区别
3. The doctor (say) _____ that Tom (be) _____ too sick to go to work and that he (need) _____ to stay at home for a couple of days.
答案:said,was,needed
医生说汤姆病得太重,不能上班,他需要在家里呆几天。
解析:前面用一般过去时 said,因为没有动作发生的一个时间段或时间点;doctor 在说话时已经知道 Tom 因为病得太重而不能上班,表示的是”完成(不能上班)“的行为,所以用一般过去时。
四、过去进行时和一般过去时的的区别
4. Sebastian (arrive) _____ at Susan's house a little before 9:00 PM, but she (be, not) _____ there. She (study, at the library) _____ for her final examination in French.
答案:arrived,wasn't,was studying at the library
塞巴斯蒂安在晚上9点前到达苏珊家,但她不在那里。她正在图书馆学习法语期末考试。
解析:
a、从确定的时间 a little before 9:00 PM 可以看出,Sebastian 已经到达 Susan 家,所以用一般过去时。
b、反过来理解,若是用过去进行时,表示”正在到达“,那么到达的时间就确定不了;或者若 Sebastian ”正在到达“,那么他就不知道 Susan 不在家。
c、后面强调 Susan 不在家那时在做什么,表示的是过去的某个时间段发生的事,所以用过去进行时。
四、过去进行时和一般过去时的的区别
5. Sandy is in the living room watching television. At this time yesterday, she (watch, also) _____ television. That's all she ever does!
答案:was also watching
桑迪在客厅看电视。昨天的这个时候,她也在看电视。她只会这么做!
解析:从 at this time yesterday 可以看出表示的是过去某个时间点正在发生的动作,所以用过去进行时;also 通常置于实义动词之前,助动词之后。
6. A: I (call) _____ you last night after dinner, but you (be, not) _____ there. Where were you
B: I (work) _____ out at the fitness center
答案:called,weren't,was working
A:我昨晚晚饭后打电话给你,但你不在。你在哪里?B:我在健身中心锻炼身体。
解析:从后半句”不在“的事实可以知道,打电话的动作已经完成(如果动作没完成,那么就不能确定”不在“),所以用一般过去时;后面强调打电话不在时在做什么,所以用过去进行时。
四、过去进行时和一般过去时的的区别
7. When I (walk) _____ into the busy office, the secretary (talk) _____ on the phone with a customer, several clerks (work, busily) _____ at their desks, and two managers (discuss, quietly) _____ methods to improve customer service.

当我走进繁忙的办公室时,秘书正在和一位顾客通电话,几个职员在办公桌旁忙得不可开交,两位经理正在悄悄地讨论改进客户服务的方法。
解析:when 引导的时间状语从句,表示发生在过去的某个时间点(走进繁忙的办公室的时候),所以从句用一般过去时,主句用过去进行时;副词可以放在句尾或句中,放在句中的时候,通常是放在助动词后面或实义动词之前。
