做那件事情。)
3.过去进行时的用法详解
(1) 表示在过去某一时间正在进行的动作，此时句中往往有表示过去的时间状语 then,at that time, this time, yesterday等。
I was doing my homework when my mother came to home.
(2)叙述在过去的同一时间都在进行的几个动作，通常用While。
I was studying at college while my brother was teaching at university.
(3)表示在过去某一段时间内一直持续进行的动作。
They were expecting you yesterday, but you didn’t turn up.
4.过去进行时的特殊用法
1. 表示临时性
即表示在过去短期内正在进行的动作或存在的临时情况，这种情况通常不会长期如此。
It happened while I was living in Paris last year. 这件事发生于去年我住在巴黎的时候。
2. 表示计划
即表示为过去的将来计划或安排好的活动。这类用法在没有明确上下文的情况下，通
常会连用一个表示将来时间的状语。
He said that his sister was getting married next December. 他说他妹妹12月结婚。
用arrive, come, go, leave, take off等动词的现在进行时描写行程安排，也通常含有将来
意义。
He said he was leaving for home in a day or two. 他说他一两天之内就动身回家了。
She knew the plane was taking off in five minutes. 她知道五分钟后飞机就要起飞了。
3. 表示委婉语气
动词hope, wonder等的过去进行时常用来表示提出要求，虽然表示现在的内容，但语
气比一般现在时或一般过去时要委婉。
I was hoping you would give me some advice. 我希望你给我出点主意。
Good morning. I was wondering if you had two single rooms.
早上好，我不知道你们是否有两个单人间。
一般过去时也有类似用法，相比之处，一般过去时通常表示主语的行为是经过认真考
虑的，而过去进行时则多表示一种较随便或没有进行仔细考虑的行为。
4. 表示重复
过去进行时有时可以与always, constantly, continually, forever等表示动作屡次发生的副
词连用，强调动作的不断重复的。
They were always quarrelling. 他们老是吵架。
She was always thinking of others. 她老是想到别人。She was forever complaining. 她老是抱怨。
注意：现在进行时也有类似用法，但过去进行时是表示过去不断重复的动作，而现在
进行时是表示现在不断重复的动作。
5.过去进行时与一般过去时的区别
区别一：过去进行时强调动作在过去某时刻正在进行或持续，而一般过去时表示动作
的完成。
He was writing his composition last night. 他昨晚在写作文。(不一定写完)
He wrote his composition last night. 他昨晚写了一篇作文。(已经写完)
区别二：表示过去的状态、感觉及心理活动的静态动词(如be, like, love, hate, fear,
own, hear, see, know, want, notice)可用于一般过去时，但通常不用于进行时。
I hated it when a man spoke with his mouth full of food. 我讨厌人们说话时口里含着食物。
区别三：一般过去时与 always, constantly, forever, continually 等连用，表示＂过去经
常性、习惯性的动作＂；而过去进行时与 always, constantly, forever, continually等连用，
表示动作的重复，常带有感情色彩。
He always got up at six. 他过去总是六点起床。
He was always thinking of his work. 他总是一心想到工作。
区别四：有时过去进行时可以用来替换一般过去时，但一般过去时表示主语的行为是
经过认真考虑的；而过去进行时表示一种较随便或没有进行仔细考虑的行为。
I thought that he would agree with us. 我原以为它会同意我们的。
I was thinking of persuading him to follow my advice. 我想到了要说服他接受我们的建议。
