我们学过了现在进行时及其用法后,就不难理解过去进行时(The Pass Progressive)。

过去进行时主要表示过去某个时刻正在进行的动作,由 be 动词的过去式(were /was)加现在分词构成。

过去进行时的结构:

主语 were / was 现在分词

(一)过去进行时的用法

(1)表示过去某个时刻或某一阶段正在进行的动作。

常和表示过去的时间状语如 then,at this(that)time,yesterday,last year 等连用。但值得注意的是,在很多情况下,句中并没有表示时间的状语,需要通过上下文来表示。

例如:What were you doing at about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon?

昨天下午大约4点钟时,你在干什么?

I was listening to music.

我在听音乐。(指昨晚大约4点时)

Jane was doing her homework last night.

简昨晚在做作业。(指昨晚的某一段时间内)

(2)在某事(动作)发生前开始的动作常与一般过去时组成复句,用在主句或从句中。

例如:Just as I was leaving the house,the telephone rang.

我正要离开房子时,电话铃响了。

He broke his leg when he was playing football.

他踢足球时,弄伤了腿。

She was reading when he called.

他打来电话时,她正在看书。

(3)表示同时进行的动作

例如:While you were writing letters,I was reading a book.

你写信时,我在读一本书。(两个动作同时进行)

While we were having breakfast,John was talking on the telephone.

我们吃早饭时,约翰正在打电话。(两个动作同时进行)

(4)表示过去将来的动作 常用在间接引语中

例如:She was leaving early the next morning.

她第二天一早就要离开。(此处的 was leaving 表示过去将来的动作,不是过去进行时。)

She asked whether he was coming back for lunch.

她问他是否回来吃午饭。(此处的 was coming 表示过去将来的动作,不是过去进行时。)

We were coming to see you,but it rained(so we didn't.)

我们本来是要来看你的,但是下雨了。(所以我们没有来。)

(这种用法仅限少数瞬间动词,如 come,go leave arrive 等 )

(5)表示客气的询问比用一般过去时更客气,更不肯定。

例如:My boss was wondering about it.

我的老板想知道此事。

I was wondering how to get there quickly.

我想知道怎样快速到达那里。

They were wondering where to spend the weekend.

他们想知道去哪里过周末。

(二)过去进行时的肯定句、疑问句和否定句

你昨晚来看我时,我正在看电视。
