  4.1

  结构 (was / were + V-ing)

  

  

  过去进行时 (past continuous) 表示过去某个时刻正在进行的动作。

  结构： 主语 + was / were + 动词-ing(I / he / she / it → was;you / we / they → were)

  在At 八点eight 我I （过去进行）was 做饭cooking.

  八点的时候我正在做饭。

  他们They （过去进行）were 看watching 电视TV.

  他们当时正在看电视。

  注意

  • was 和 were 别用错:I / he / she / it 用 was;you / we / they 用 were。
  • 否定:wasn't / weren't + V-ing。疑问:Was / Were + 主语 + V-ing?

  4.2

  when 与 while

  过去进行时常和一般过去时一起用，描述“一件事发生时，另一件正在进行”。

  • while + 过去进行时(较长的背景动作)。
  • when + 一般过去时(突然发生的短动作)。

  当...时While 我I （过去进行）was 睡觉sleeping （冠词）, the 电话phone 响了rang.

  我睡觉的时候，电话响了。

  她She （过去进行）was 做饭cooking 当...时when 我I 到达arrived.

  我到的时候她正在做饭。

  对比两个时态：

  • 正在进行的背景 → 过去进行时(was cooking)。
  • 打断它的短动作 → 一般过去时(arrived)。

  注意

  • 两个同时进行的长动作,都用过去进行时:While I was reading, she was writing.(我在看书,她在写字。)
  • when 后面也可接过去进行时,但意思会变,初学先记上面的常见搭配。

  常见错误

  • ❌ ~~I was watch TV when he called.~~ → ✓ I was watching TV when he called. — was / were 后面必须是 -ing 形式。
  • ~~They was playing games.~~ → ✓ They were playing games. — you / we / they 用 were。
  • ❌ ~~When I was arriving, she was cooking.~~ → ✓ When I arrived, she was cooking. — 到达是一瞬间的短动作,用一般过去时;长的背景动作才用进行时。
  • ❌ ~~I was knowing the answer.~~ → ✓ I knew the answer. — 状态动词(know、like、want)在过去时里同样不用进行时。
