过去进行时态详解及练习
1. 过去进行时用法：
①过去某个时间正在发生的动作
例：He was cooking at six last night. 昨天晚上六点，他正在做饭。 ②过去某段时间正在发生的动作
例：I was staying here from March to May last year. 去年从3月到5月，我一直呆在这里。
2. 与过去进行时连用的时间状语，常见的有 at nine last night/ at that time= then/
at this time yesterday /或有when the teacher came in/ while he was reading的提示
3. 过去进行时的构成：was\\were +现在分词 4. 过去进行时的四个基本句型
肯定句
He was cooking at six last night.
否定句 He was not cooking at six last night.
一般疑问句
Was he cooking at six last night?
肯定和否定回答 Yes ,he was. No, he wasn’t.
特殊疑问句
What was he doing at six last night?
5. 过去进行时的固定句型
Jim was reading when the teacher came in. 当老师进来的时候，吉姆正在读书。 Jim was reading while Kate was watching TV. 在凯特正在看电视的同时，吉姆正在读书。
Jim came in while Kate was watching TV. 在凯特正在看电视的时候，吉姆进来了。
6. 与一般过去式的区别: He watched TV last night.
（过去时间last night, 用一般过去时）
He was watching TV at nine last night. (过去时间last night+点时间at nine, 用过去进行时)
7. when
和while的区别
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瞬间性动词
（open, close, finish, begin, come, go, arrive, reach, get to, leave, move, borrow,buy），也可以是延续性动词
(learn, work, stand, lie, know, walk, keep, have, wait, watch, sing, read, sleep, live, stay)，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；
I was sleeping when he called me yesterday. I will call you when he comes back. 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。
Linda was taking a shower while Mary was watching TV. 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。
