参考答案:

基本语法

一、过去进行时态

1. 定义:表示过去某个时刻或过去某段时间正在进行的动作。

2. 用法:

(1) 过去某个时间正在发生的动作

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

I was staying here from March to May last year.

去年从3月到5月,我一直待在这里。

(3) 与过去进行时连用的时间状语,常见的有 at nine last night/at that time/at this time yesterday或有when the teacher came in/while he was reading等提示。

(4) 过去进行时的构成:was/were+现在分词

(5) 过去进行时的四个基本句型

肯定句:主语+was /were+doing sth+时间状语

He was cooking at six last night.

昨晚六点他在做饭。

否定句:主语+was /were+not+doing sth+时间状语

He was not cooking at six last night.

昨晚六点他没有做饭。

一般疑问句:Was/Were+主语+doing sth+时间状语?

Was he cooking at six last night?

昨晚六点他在做饭吗?

肯定和否定回答:

Yes, he was. /No, he wasn’t.

特殊疑问句:What...+was/were+主语+doing+时间状语?

What was he doing at six last night?

昨晚六点他在做什么?

二、when与while的用法与区别

1. when 與while 都有“当……的时候”的意思。

(1) when 既可表示某一时间点,也可表示某一段时间。在when 引导的时间状语从句中,其谓语动词可以是延续性的,也可以是非延续性的,可与主句中的谓语动词同时发生,也可在其后发生。

I was just reading a book when she came into my room.

她走进我房间时,我正在看书。

(2) while 只能表示某一段时间。在while 引导的时间状语从句中,其谓语动词只能是延续性的,而且也只能与主句中的谓语动词同时发生或存在。

You can’t do your homework while you’re watching TV.

你不能一边看电视一边做家庭作业。

2. when 引导的时间状语从句多用一般时态,而while引导的时间状语从句多用进行时态。

I was doing my homework when my mother came back home yesterday evening.

昨天晚上妈妈回家的时候,我正在做家庭作业。

While they were talking, the bell rang.

他们正在谈话的时候,上课铃响了。
