过去进行时的讲与练
过去进行时表示过去某一时刻或者某段时间正在进行或发生的动作，常和表过去的时间状语连用，如： I was doing my homework at this time yesterday. 昨天的这个时候我正在做作业。
They were waiting for you yesterday. 他们昨天一直在等你。
过去进行时的构成：
肯定形式：主语 +was/were+V-ing
否定形式：主语 +was not (wasn't)/were not (weren't)+V-ing 疑问形式： Was/Were+ 主语 +V-ing。
基本用法：
1.过去进行时表示过去某一段时间或某一时刻正在进行的动作。 time/moment,
(at) this time yesterday (last night/Sunday/week
Sunday )，when sb. did sth 等时间状语从句，如：
What were you doing at . yesterday 昨天晚上七点你在干什么
I first met Mary three years ago. She was working at a radio shop at the time. 我第一次遇到玛丽是在三年前，当时她在一家无线电商店工作。
I was cooking when she knocked at the door. 她敲门时我正在做饭。
2. when 后通常用表示暂短性动词， while 后通常用表示持续性动词，因此它所引导的状语从句中，谓语动词常用进行时态，如：
When the car exploded I was walking past it.= While I was walking past the car it exploded. 用作并列连词时，主句常用进行时态，从句则用一般过去时，表示主句动作发生的过程中，另一个意想不到的动作发生了。如：
I was walking in the street when someone called me.
常与之连用的时间状语有，
at that
at+), 点钟 +yesterday (last night /
我正在街上走时突然有人喊我。
4. when 作并列连词，表示 “（这时）突然 ”之意时，第一个并列分句用过去进行时， 列分句用一般过去时。如：
I was taking a walk when I met him. 我正在散步，突然遇见了他。 We were playing outside when it began to rain. 一般过去时与过去进行时的用法比较：
我们正在外边玩，这时下起雨来了
when 引导的并
一般过去时表示 “在过去某个时间发生的动作或存在的状态 ”，而过去进行时则表示 “在过去某个
特定时间正在进行的动作 ”。
如： Tom wrote a letter to his friend last night.
汤姆昨晚给他的朋友写了封信。（信写完了） Tom was writing a letter to his friend last night.
汤姆昨晚一直在给他的朋友写信。（信不一定写完，只是强调了动作的延续性）。
过去进行时和一般过去时的差别：
一般过去时表示 “在过去某个时间发生的动作或存在的状态 ”，而过去进行时则表示 “在过去某个
特定时间正在进行的动作 ”。
例如：
I was reading an English novel last night. I read an English novel last night
昨晚我在看一本英文小说。（可能没看完） 我昨晚看了一本英文小说。（已经看完）
