Unit 6 When disaster strikes单元语法讲练：过去进行时（含答案）-2025-2026学年外研版（2024）英语八年级上册

● 单元语法精讲 ●
过去进行时
1. 过去进行时的意义
过去进行时是表示在过去某一具体时刻正在进行的动作，强调某一动作在过去某时正在进行。
2. 过去进行时的构成
过去进行时的谓语部分由“was/were+ 现在分词”构成，was/were 作助动词。过去进行时的肯定句变为一般疑问句时，将 was/were 提到句首，否定句时在 was/were 后加上 not。
The alien was visiting the museum at that moment.→ Was the alien visiting the museum at that moment (一般疑问句)
The alien wasn't visiting the museum at that moment.(否定句)
3. 过去进行时的判断
(1)一般情况下，句中用到表示具体动作且为可延续性的动词，同时句中用到表示在过去某一具体范围不大(从几分钟到半天左右)的时间状语，如 at ten o'clock last night, at this time yesterday, at that time, from 7 to 9 last Sunday morning 等时，用过去进行时。
The Young Pioneers were planting trees on a hill at six o'clock yesterday afternoon.昨天下午 6 点那些少先队员在小山上种树。
(2)在叙述过去差不多同时发生的两个动作，用到从属连词 when 或 while 时，如果一个动作是可延续性的表具体动作的动词，而另一个动作是不可延续性的动词，一般可延续的那个动词用过去进行时，而不可延续的那个用过去时。
While the child was playing basketball on the road,a car hit him. 当那个孩子在路上打篮球时，一辆小汽车撞了他。
4. 过去进行时与一般过去时的区别
过去进行时强调某一动作是在过去某时正在进行，一般用到的动词是表示具体行动，动作是可延续的，同时用到的时间状语表示的范围要小且具体；而一般过去时对谓语动词没有限制，用到的时间状语范围不受限制，一般过去时着重表示在过去做过，基本上是一个结束了的动作。表过去状态、抽象、不表具体动作行为的动词不用过去进行时，但可以用一般过去时。
Mr Green was mending his daughter's bike this morning.今天早上格林先生正在修他女儿的自行车。(强调动作正在进行)
Mr Green mended his daughter's bike this morning.今天早上格林先生修了他女儿的自行车。(表明动作做过，并结束了)
