Language practice
过去进行时
一般来说，要表示过去某个时刻或某一时段正在进行的动作，我们常使用过去进行时。
过去进行时除了表示“过去某时刻/时段在做某事”之外，还常常出现在讲故事的语境中。
e.g. Alice was sitting with her sister by the river.
爱丽丝正和姐姐坐在河边。
It was sitting in a tree and smiling at everyone.
它（那只猫）正坐在树上，朝着大家微笑。
They were having a tea party in the garden.
他们正在花园里举行茶会。
过去进行时句子中的谓语部分由“was/were +动词现在分词”构成，与现在进行时结构相似，只是现在进行时中的am/is/are变成了was/were. 由此可以推断，过去进行时的句式变化也应该与现在进行时的一样。
（1）过去进行时的结构：
过去进行时句子中的谓语部分由“was/were＋现在分词”构成。
过去进行时谓语部分的否定式由“was/were not＋现在分词”构成。
过去进行时的一般疑问句由“Was/Were＋主语＋现在分词？”构成。
（2）常和过去进行时连用的时间状语有: then, at this/that time, yesterday, at… last night等。
（3）过去进行时表示的感彩与现在进行时相似，过去进行时也可表示满意、称赞、惊讶、厌恶等感彩，也通常与 always，forever等副词连用。
e.g. They were always quarrelling.
他们老是吵架。
（4）需注意部分动词是不用于进行时的。
1）感官动词：hear, see, feel, taste…
2）表示爱憎的动词：like, love, hate…
3）表希望、意愿的动词：want, wish…
4）表占有的动词：own, have…
5）其他动词：appear, be…
（5）过去进行时与一般过去时的区别：
e.g. Laura was reading a novel at eight o’clock last night.
昨晚 8 点劳拉在看小说。
Laura read a novel last night.
昨晚劳拉看了一本小说。
这两种时态虽然都表示过去发生的事情，但是过去进行时强调过去某一时刻或时段正在进行或持续的动作；一般过去时表示过去的时间里所发生的动作，所表示的动作往往已经完成。

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 the 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
have a picnic 去野餐；举行野餐

Was it a Cheshire Cat I found some biscuits in my pocket and gave

hungry any more.
