学习总结
核心语法点速记
结构公式：
肯定句：主语 + was/were + 现在分词（He was writing at 8:00.）。
否定句：主语 + was/were + not + 现在分词（She wasn’t singing.）。
疑问句：Was/Were + 主语 + 现在分词？（Were they dancing?）。
学科网（北京）股份有限公司核心用法：
表示过去某时刻正在进行的动作（标志词：at 9:00 last night, when/while）。
when后接短暂动作（When he came in, I was reading.），while后接延续动作（While I was
reading, he came in.）。
易错点警示
主谓不一致：注意主语单复数对应was/were（He was vs. They were）。
与一般过去时混淆：过去进行时强调“正在进行”，一般过去时强调“动作完成”（如✘ He
watched TV at 8:00. ✔️ (cid:3)He was watching TV at 8:00.）。
现在分词错误：确保双写或去e正确（如sit→sitting，not siting）。
