（二）结构
???
was/were
+doing
(现在分词）
（三）用法
??
1、过去进行时表示过去某段时间
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)内持续进行的动作或者事情。常用的时间状语this
morning,
the
whole
morning,
all
day
yesterday,
from
nine
to

last

when,
while例如：

TV
from
seven

last
night.21世纪教育网版权所有
昨天晚上七点到九点的时候我们在看电视。 ??????
2.
过去进行时可以表示在过去某个时间点发生的事情。时间点可以用介词短语、副词或从句来表示。如：21教育网
When
I
saw
him
he
was
decorating
his
room.
当我看见他的时候他正在装饰房间。
(when从句表示时间点)
3.?
在复合句中，如果主要动作和背景动作都是延续的或同时发生的，那么主从句的动词都可用过去进行时。例如：21cnjy.com
While
he
was
waiting
for
the
bus,
he
was
reading
a
newspaper.www.21-cn-jy.com
他边等车边看报。
(两个动作都是延续的)
He
was
cleaning
his
car
while
I
was
cooking.
他擦车时我在做饭。(两个动作同时进行)

典型例题：
1)
Mary
___
a
dress
when
she
cut
her
finger.
A.
made
B.
is
making
C.
was
making
D.
makes
答案C.
割伤手指是已发生的事情，应
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)用过去时。同时，when表时间的同时性，“玛丽在做衣服时”提供事情发生的背景，因此用过去进行时。www-2-1-cnjy-com
2)
As
she
___
the
newspaper,
Granny
___
asleep.
A.
read;
was
f
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)alling B.
was
reading;
fell C.
was
reading;
was
falling D.
read;fell
答案B.句中的a
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)s
=
when,
while，意为"当……之时"。描述一件事发生的背景时，用过去进行；一个长动作发生的时候，另一个短动作发生。句意为
"在她看报纸时，奶奶睡着了。"句中的
fell
(fall的过去时)，是系动词，后跟形容词，如：fall
sick。
过去进行时与一般过去时区别
都强调过去发生的事
进行时强调过程，不一定完成
过去时强调事件，一定完成
p,s表示一个动作正在进行时，另一个动作发生了
如：He
played
when
I
was
studying.
过去进行时与一般过去时
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)，两者都表示过去发生的动作,但过去进行时表示在过去某一特定的时间点或时间段正在进行的动作,而一般过去时表示在过去时间完成的动作?例如:
2-1-c-n-j-y
I
was
typing
a
letter
last
night.
昨晚我在打一封信?(可能没打完)
I
typed
some
letters
last
night.
我昨晚打了一些信?(已经打完)
when
和while的用法区别
when
和while的用法区
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)别
①when是at
or
during
the
time
that,
既指时间点，也可指一段时间；
while是during
the
time
that，只指一段时间，因此when引导的时间状语从句中的动词可以是终止性动词，也可以是延续性动词，而while从句中的动词必须是延续性动词。
②when
说明从句的动作和主句的动作可以是同时，也可以是先后发生；while
则强调主句的动作在从句动作的发生的过程中或主从句两个动作同时发生。
③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；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：
a.
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.
b.
They
were
singing
while
we
were
dancing.
④when和while
还可作并列连词。when表示“在那时”；while表示“而，却”，表对照关系。如：
a.
The
children
were
running
to
move
the
bag
of
rice
when
they
heard
the
sound
of
a
motor
bike.
孩子们正要跑过去搬开那袋米，这时他们听到了摩托车的声音。
b.
He
is
strong
while
his
brother
is
weak.
他长得很结实，而他弟弟却很瘦弱。
when，while，as引导时间状语从句的区别
when，while，as显然都可以引导时间状语从句，但用法区别非常大。
一、when可以和延续性动词连用，也可以和短暂性动词连用；而while和as只能和延续性动词连用。
①
Why
do
you
want
a
new
job
when
youve
got
such
a
good
one
already？（get为短暂性动词）你已经找到如此好的工作，为何还想再找新的？
②Sorry，I
was
out
when
you
called
me．（call为短暂性动词）对不起，你打电话时我刚好外出了。
③Strike
while
the
iron
is
hot．（is为延续性动词，表示一种持续的状态）趁热打铁。
④
The
students
took
notes
as
they
listened．（listen为延续性动词）学生们边听课边做笔记。
二、when从句的谓语动词可以在主句谓语动作之前、之后或同时发生；while和as从句的谓语动作必须是和主句谓语动作同时发生。
1．从句动作在主句动作前发生，只用
when。
①When
he
had
finished
his
homework，he
took
a
short
rest．（finished先发生）当他完成作业后，他休息了一会儿。
②When
I
got
to
the
airport，the
guests
had
left．（got
to后发生）当我赶到飞机场时，客人们已经离开了。
2．从句动作和主句动作同时发生，且从句动作为延续性动词时，when，while，as都可使用。
①When
／While
／As
we
were
dancing，a
stranger
came
in．（dance为延续性动词）当我们跳舞时，一位陌生人走了进来。
②When
／While
／As
she
was
making
a
phonecall，I
was
writing
a
letter．（make为延续性动词）当她在打电话时，我正在写信。
3．当主句、从句动作同时进行，从句动作的时间概念淡化，而主要表示主句动作发生的背景或条件时，只能用
as。这时，as常表示“随着……”；“一边……，一边……”之意。
①
As
the
time
went
on，the
weather
got
worse．（as表示“随着……”之意）
②
The
atmosphere
gets
thinner
and
thinner
as
the
height
increases．随着高度的增加，大气越来越稀薄。
③As
years
go
by，China
is
getting
stronger
and
richer．随着时间一年一年过去，中国变得越来越富强了。

That

___
my
younger
brother
was
watching
TV.
Suddenly
the
doorbell
rang.
A.when
B.while
C.before
D.after
when
和while都可以表示“两个动作同时发生”的含义，
此时它们的不同之处在于while
有表示“对比”的含义，
如题目中一人在做作业，一人在看电视，强调两人做不同的事情，有对比的含义
when和while都可以用在多种行
(?http:?/??/?www.21cnjy.com?)为或情况同时发生。具体情况有下面四种：
1.我们经常用when和while引导时间状语从句引出一个大的背景，而在这个背景之下发生发生了主句所描述的行为。
i.e.Somebody
broke
into
the
house
when/while
they
were
playing
cards.
他们在打牌的时候有人闯进了房子。
2.当表示两个长时行为与情况同时发生时，用while而不用when.
i.e.While
you
were
reading
the
paper,
I
was
working.你在读报时，我在工作。
3.when引导的从句表示在主句中描述的大背景下发生了另一行为。这时不能用while.
i.e.I
was
asleep
in
my
chair
when
Dora
rang
to
say
she
wasn't
coming
home.我睡觉的时候，多利给我打电话说她不会回家。
4.当表示年龄或是生命中的一段时间时，用when而不用while.
i.e.When
I
was
a
child
we
lived
in
London.
我小时候住在伦敦。
