1、初中英语过去进行时专项语法讲解(一)定义 过去进行时,是表示过去某个具体时刻正在进行的事情或动作。(二)结构 was/were +doing (现在分词)(三)用法 1、过去进行时表示过去某段时间内持续进行的动作或者事情。常用的时间状语this morning, the whole morning, all day yesterday, from nine to ten last evening, when, while例如:We were watching TV from seven to nine last night.昨天晚上七点到九点的时候我们在看电视。What was he rese
2、arching all day last Sunday?上周日他一整天都在研究什么?My brother fell while he was riding his bicycle and hurt himself.我哥哥骑自行车的时候从车上摔下来,受伤了。It was raining when they left the station.他们离开车站的时候天正在下雨。When I got to the top of the mountain, the sun was shining.当我到达山顶的时候,阳光灿烂。2. 过去进行时可以表示在过去某个时间点发生的事情。时间点可以用介词短语、副词或从
3、句来表示。如:What was she doing at nine oclock yesterday?昨天晚上九点她在做什么? (介词短语表示时间点)When I saw him he was decorating his room.当我看见他的时候他正在装饰房间。 (when从句表示时间点)3. 在复合句中,如果主要动作和背景动作都是延续的或同时发生的,那么主从句的动词都可用过去进行时。例如:While he was waiting for the bus, he was reading a newspaper.他边等车边看报。 (两个动作都是延续的)He was cleaning his
4、car while I was cooking.他擦车时我在做饭。(两个动作同时进行)4. 通常不能用于过去进行时的动词主要有:agree, be, believe, belong, care, forget, hate, have(拥有), hear, know, like, love, mean, mind, notice, own, remember, seem, suppose, understand, want, wish等。例如:误:I was knowing the answer.正:I knew the answer. 我知道答案。误:I wasnt understanding
5、 him.正:I didnt understand him. 我不明白他的意思。典型例题:1) Mary _ a dress when she cut her finger.A. made B. is making C. was making D. makes 答案C. 割伤手指是已发生的事情,应用过去时。同时,when表时间的同时性,“玛丽在做衣服时”提供事情发生的背景,因此用过去进行时。2) As she _ the newspaper, Granny _ asleep.A. read; was fallingB. was reading; fellC. was reading; was
6、fallingD. read;fell 答案B.句中的as = when, while,意为当之时。描述一件事发生的背景时,用过去进行;一个长动作发生的时候,另一个短动作发生。句意为 在她看报纸时,奶奶睡着了。句中的 fell (fall的过去时),是系动词,后跟形容词,如:fall sick。(四)过去进行时和一般过去时的区别 1一般过去时叙述旧事,过去进行时描述背景。、一般过去时)叙述过去状态、动作或事件He went to Beijing the other day.(带具体时间)表示过去的习惯a) would ,used to与过去时would 表间断性不规则的习惯,常带频率时间use
7、d to 表一贯性有规律的习惯They used to meet and would sometimes exchange one or two words.He smoked a lot two years ago. (过去行为)b) Would 用于文中不用于句首,只表过去习惯。Used to 表今昔对比的含义,叙述习惯动作可与would 换用。When he was a boy , he would often go there . (叙述过去)She isnt what she used to be. (今昔对比)c) 表示状态时一般只用used toTom used to be fa
8、t /There used to stand a tree there. (状态)d) was (were) used to +ving表示“合适于,适应于.”He used to work at night . (“习惯”表经常)He was used to working at night. (习惯表适应))表示过去的经历,平行动作,依此事件用一般过去时。He sat there and listened to the radio.(依此发生))表示客气委婉的语气,用于情态动词,助动词和want , wonder , hope 等How did you like the film? / C
9、ould you help me?B. 过去进行时表示在过去某阶段或某一时刻正在发生What were you doing at 8:30 last night? (过去某时刻正在发生)短暂性动词用过去进行时表示按计划、打算During that time he was going with us.(表示打算)与always ,often ,usually 等连用表喜爱,讨厌等感情色彩。He was always Changing his mind.2、过去进行时与一般过去时的区别A. 进行时表某一行为的“片断”一般时表示行为的“整体”和存在的状态。I was reading the book
10、 at that time. (未读完,“读”的片段)I read the book yesterday. (已读完,表整个“读”)B、一般持续时间状语多与进行时连用It was raining all night.(优先用was raining ,rained 为持续动词,故也可使用)He was writing a letter the whole of afternoon. (短暂动词与持续时间连用,表反复,连续发生,不可用一般过去时)C、while 时间状语从句中用短暂动词时只能用进行时。例:He broke a chair while he was jumping up and do
11、wn.D、While 所在主从句动作大致持续相等时主从句一般都用进行时,但若是持续动词可都用一般过去时,两个动作一长一短时短的用一般时,长的用进行时。I was cooking the dinner while he was playing the piano.(平行)I cooked the dinner while he played the piano.I saw him while I was walking to the station.3、英语中有四类动词一般不用进行时(不用现在进行时和过去进行时)1)表心理状态、情感的动词,如love ,hate ,like ,care ,res
12、pect ,please ,prefer ,know 等,若用进行时则词意改变。Im forgetting it . (=beginning to forget )2)表存在、状态的动词,如appear ,exist ,lie ,remain ,stand ,seem等3)表感觉的动词,如see ,hear ,feel ,smell ,sound ,taste等.4)表一时性的动词,如accept ,allow ,admit ,decide ,end ,refuse ,permit ,promise等。5、例题考题1 As she _the newspaper ,Granny _ asleep
13、 .(95)A. read /was falling B .was reading /fellC. Was reading /was falling D. read/fell分析 时间从句的动作长,而“入睡”动作短,故前者用过去进行时,而较短动词用一般过去时,选B考题2 Tom _ into the house when no one _ .A. slipped/was looking B. Had slipped /lookedC. slipped/had looked D. was slipping /looked分析 此题先要理解好when ,表“此时”,说明主句中slipped是较短行
14、为,而look是较长行为的片断,即汤姆溜进房子,此时没人瞧见,故选A为正确。时态比较过去进行时与一般过去时都强调过去发生的事 进行时强调过程,不一定完成 过去时强调事件,一定完成 p,s表示一个动作正在进行时,另一个动作发生了 如:He played when I was studying. 过去进行时与一般过去时,两者都表示过去发生的动作,但过去进行时表示在过去某一特定的时间点或时间段正在进行的动作,而一般过去时表示在过去时间完成的动作例如: I was typing a letter last night. 昨晚我在打一封信(可能没打完) I typed some letters last
15、 night. 我昨晚打了一些信(已经打完) 1、一般过时往往表示某一动作已经完成,而过去进行时却表示动作在持续或未完成。 She wrote a letter to her friend last night. 她昨晚给朋友写了封信。 (信写完了) She was writing a letter to her friend last night. 她昨晚一直在给朋友写信。 (信不一定写完) 2、一般过去时表示只做一次动作,而过去进行时却表示动作反复地进行。 She waved to me. 她朝我挥了挥手。 3、句中有a moment ago之类的短语一般用一般过去时。 4、句中有at t
16、his time last Sunday, from 8 to 9 yesterday 之类的状语一般用过去进行时。过去进行时可以用来代替一般过去时,表示更为偶然而非预定的动作: I was talking to Tom the other day 那天我跟汤姆聊天来着。 这里的过去进行时给人的印象是这一动作既不特殊,也不引人注目。它同时还倾向于解除主语对于这一动作所负的责任。句中谁先开口说话既不清楚,也无关紧要。要注意它与一般过去时的差异: 注意:进行时态只用于表示显然是连续不断的动作。如果把动作分割开,或者说出其发生的次数,就必须用一般过去时:I talked to Tom several
17、 times 我跟汤姆谈过几次话。 Tom washed both cars 汤姆把两辆汽车都洗了。 当然,看来是并行的两个动作可以都用进行时态来表示: Between one and two I was doing the shopping and walking the dog一点到两点之间我在购物、遛狗。 这样用的进行时态通常和某些时间状语如 today,last night,in the afternoon连用。这些时间状语可以看做是表示某一时刻,也可以看做是表示某一段时间。如上面例句所示,某一段时间也可以用确切的时间来表示。 如想问起一段时间怎样度过时,用过去进行时态要用比一般过去时
18、显得有礼貌: What were you doing before you came here?(你来这里之前做什么工作?)要比 What did you do be fore you came here?听起来有礼貌。 另一方面, What were you doing in my room?(你在我的房间里干什么来着?)可能表示这样一种情感:我认为你没有权利在我的屋子里。但 What did you do in my room?却毫无这种含义。 不用于进行时的动词感官动词:hear,see,notice,feel,taste 表示态度感情的动词:like,love,hate 表心理状态:f
19、eel,want,prefer 表占有:own,have, 表存在状态和持续:look,owe,be when 和while的用法区别 两者的区别如下: when是at or during the time that, 既指时间点,也可指一段时间; while是during the time that,只指一段时间,因此when引导的时间状语从句中的动词可以是终止性动词,也可以是延续性动词,而while从句中的动词必须是延续性动词。 when 说明从句的动作和主句的动作可以是同时,也可以是先后发生;while 则强调主句的动作在从句动作的发生的过程中或主从句两个动作同时发生。 由when引导的时间状语从句,主句用过去进行时,从句应用一般过去时;如果从句和主句的动作同时发生,两句都用过去进行时的时候,多用while引导,如: a. When the teacher came in, we were talking. 当此句改变主从句的位置时,则为: While we were talking, the teacher came in. b They were singing while we were dancing.
