過去進行時基本結構:主語+was/were+doing+其它,表示在過去某一時刻或某一段時間內進行或發生的動作,過去進行時有表示原因、強調、表示感情色彩等作用。

過去進行時
形式:was /were + V-ing
表示在過去某一時刻或某一段時間內進行或發生的動作。

一、結構

過去進行時肯定句基本結構=主語+was/were+doing+其它
過去進行時否定句基本結構=主語+was/were+not+doing+其它

以下是各種句型的例句:

二、含義

· 過去進行時表示同時進行的動作。

你寫信的時候,我在看書。

e we were having breakfast,John was talking on the tele-phone.
我們吃早飯的時候,約翰在打電話。

· 過去進行時和一般過去時在一個句子裏使用,用過去進行時表示過去正在進行的動作。過去進行時可用於主句,亦可用於從句。

as I was leaving the house,the telephone rang.
我正要出門,電話鈴響了。(用於從句)

broke his leg when he was playing football.
他踢足球的時候把腿傷了。(用於從句)

was reading when he called.

三、過去進行時在句子中的作用

1、表示原因。例句:
I didn’t hear what you said;I was looking at the picture.
我沒有聽見你的話,我在看那幅畫。

2、對所說的話進行強調。在小說的對話中,有時引述動詞不用一般過去時,而用過去進行時,意在強調所說的話,語氣較重,且更爲生動。例句:
A:“Did they catch her?”Mary was asking.
“他們抓住她了嗎?”只聽得瑪麗問道。
B:”No,she escaped.”Tom told her.
“沒有,她逃走了。”湯姆告訴她。

3、過去進行時還可和when結構遙相呼應,含有意外之意。例句:
I was walking in the street when someone called me.
我正在街上走時突然有人喊我。

4、表示與現在事實相反或將來的猜想情況,有時表示不耐煩等情緒。例句:
I was going to phone you,but I just didn’t have time.
我本想給你打電話的,但就是沒有時間。
The basketball match was taking place the next day,but it had to be canceled because of the heavy rain.
籃球賽原定第二天舉行的,但因大雨不得不取消。

5、用來陳述原因或用作藉口。
She went to the doctor yesterday. She was having a lot of trouble with her heart.
她昨天去看病了。她患了很嚴重的心臟病。

6、與always,constantly等詞連用,表示感情色彩。例句:
The girl was always changing her mind.
這女孩老是改變主意。

7、表示動作的未完成性。過去進行時可以表示動作的未完成性,即對某事瞭解的不全面,希望得到更詳細的情況。例句:
I was hearing Susan had entered the college.
我聽說蘇珊上了大學。

8、表示繼續剛剛中斷的談話,用於日常生活中。例句:
As I were telling you,the boy took his stubbornness from his father.
正想我剛剛告訴你的,這孩子的犟脾氣是他爸爸遺傳給他的。
As she was telling me,we must depend upon ourselves to make our own way as best we can.
正如她所告訴我的,我們必須依靠自己竭盡全力走自己的路。

9、表示婉轉語氣,只限於want,hope,wonder等動詞,用以提出請求。例句:
I was wondering if you could help me.
我想知道你是否能夠幫助我。

10、表示對比。
例句: He was not sitting idle,he was making preparations.
他沒有閒坐着,他在做準備。
While the children were playing in the shade,their parents were working in the scorching sun.
孩子們在樹蔭下玩耍,而他們的父母卻在烈日下勞作。
