二、新学新知:过去进行时
1. 含义:过去进行时表示过去某个时间或某一段时间正在进行的动作。
2. 构成:过去进行时谓语动词的构成为“was/ were +动词现在分词”。
I was having dinner at 7:00 yesterday morning.
昨天早上7点我正在吃早饭。
Alice was sitting by the river at that time.
那时爱丽丝正坐在河边。
They were having a tea party in the garden.
他们正在花园里举行茶会。
3. 句式变化
(1) 否定句:在was或were之后加not。was not = wasn’t; were not = weren’t。
They were not sleeping then.
他们那时没有在睡觉。
Linda wasn’t playing the piano from 8 to 9 last night.
昨天晚上8点到9点琳达没有在弹钢琴。
(2)一般疑问句:将was或were提到主语之前。回答时用was或were。
--- Were you waiting for your friends then
你那时在等你的朋友吗?
--- Yes, I was. / No, I wasn’t.
是的,我在等。/不,我没有在等。
(3) 特殊疑问句:通常由特殊疑问词加一般疑问句构成,提问主语时例外。
What were you doing at 5 pm yesterday
昨天下午5点钟你在干什么?
Who were they playing with then
那时他们在和谁一起玩?
三、一般过去时与过去进行时的区别
1. 一般过去时表示过去某个时间发生的动作或存在的状态;过去进行时表示过去某一时刻或某段时间正在进行的动作。
I read an interesting story last night.
昨天晚上我读了一个有趣的故事。
I was reading an interesting story at 8 last night.
昨天晚上8点我正在读一个有趣的故事。
2.一般过去时的时间状语通常比较笼统,不具体,如yesterday, just now, last year, three days ago等;过去进行时态的时间状语通常比较具体,如at that time, at 11 yesterday, between 8 and 10 last Saturday等。
They played basketball yesterday afternoon.
昨天下午他们打篮球了。
They were playing basketball at 5 pm yesterday afternoon.

Tapescript:
One day, I was with my friends. We were having a picnic in a field and I saw something strange. There was a white cat with a pink nose sitting in a tree. There’s nothing strange about that, of course, but it looked like it was eating the leaves in the tree! That was strange! Cats don’t usually eat leaves. “Maybe it’s very hungry,” I thought.
While I was looking at it, the cat got out of tree, jumped down to the ground and walked across the field and sat next to us. Maybe it wanted some of our picnic to eat, but there was nothing for a cat. The cat got up and came close to me. I talked to it and it smiled at me.
Was it a Cheshire Cat I found some biscuits in my pocket and gave them to the cat. Soon, it was eating biscuits and smiling at us. Then, after a while, the cat got up and walked across the field. Maybe it wasn’t hunger any more.
8 Read the story and act it out.
Stories
In the past, not many people could read or write, so people listened to stories. Some stories were popular, and they changed every time someone told them. The stories passed from generation to generation. Finally, someone wrote them down.
For example, in China today people still love old stories like The Monkey King.
Some people say that new stories written in books today are not as entertaining as the old ones. Do you agree
