初中英语过去进行时的用法

练习及答案

一、过去进行时的定义

过去进行时主要表示过去某一时刻正在进行的动作，或表示过去某一阶段一直在进行的动作。常与表示过去的时间状语连用，如：last night, last Saturday等；如：

I was having a talk with Li Hua at that time. 那时，我正在跟李华谈话。

I was watching TV at home last night. 昨晚我一直在看电视。

二、过去进行时的结构

1. 过去进行时由“助动词was/were + 现在分词”构成

例如: We were having supper when the phone rang. 我们正在吃晚饭时电话响了?2. 过去进行时的否定式由“was/were not +现在分词”构成?

例如: This time yesterday Jack was not watching TV. He was repairing his bike.

昨天这个时候,杰克不是在看电视,而是在修理自行车?

3. 过去进行时的疑问式由“was/were + 主语+ 现在分词?”构成?

例如: Were you playing basketball at four yesterday afternoon? 昨天下午四点你们在打篮球吗?

三、过去进行时的时间状语

this morning, the whole morning, all day , at nine o‘clock yesterday, from nine to ten last evening, when, while ,at that time,just now，a moment ago,或者与when, while, as引导的过去时间状语连用。

1. when 和while引导的状语从句中，强调某个动作正在进行的过程中时要用进行时态，while表示一段时间，因此它所引导的状语从句中，谓语动词常用进行时态，如：

When/While we were having supper, the light went out. 我们正在吃饭时灯熄灭了。

2. when用作并列连词时，主句常用进行时态，从句则用一般过去时，表示

主句动作发生的过程中，另一个意想不到的动作发生了。

如：I was walking in the street when someone called me. 我正在街上走时突然有人喊我。

四、when 和while的用法区别

①when 既指时间点，也可指一段时间；

while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.

注意：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.

注意：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：While he was waiting for the bus, he was reading a newspaper.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)
