过去进行时
一、构成及用法
过去进行时由“was / were +动词-ing形式”构成，表示在过去某一时刻或某一段时间正在进行的动作。常与过去进行时连用的时间状语有at eight yesterday morning, at that time, at this time yesterday, from eight to ten yesterday morning等。
e.g. I was reading in the library at this time yesterday.
The kids were watching TV at eight last night.
二、各种句式
肯定式：主语+ was / were +动词-ing形式(+其他).
e.g. I was having an English class at that time.
否定式：主语+ wasn’t / weren’t +动词-ing形式(+其他).
e.g. My brother wasn’t sleeping at five yesterday afternoon.
We weren’t swimming at this time yesterday.
疑问式：Was / Were +主语+动词-ing形式(+其他)
其肯定回答为：Yes, 主语(人称代词)+ was / were.
否定回答为：No, 主语(人称代词)+ wasn’t / weren’t.
e.g. —Were you walking the dog at this time yesterday
—Yes, I was.
—No, I wasn’t.
三、while和when引导的时间状语从句
过去进行时还可用于含when或while引导的时间状语从句的复合句中。
e.g. He was reading in the library when the rain came.
When Alice called me yesterday, I was having dinner with my family.
若在主句动作进行期间，when引导的从句的动作发生了，则主句用过去进行时，从句用一般过去时。
e.g. I met my teacher when / while I was walking the dog in the park.
若when / while引导的从句的动作正在进行期间，主句的动作发生了，则从句用过去进行时，主句用一般过去时。
e.g. While Linda was playing the piano, Jenny was doing her homework.
while引导的状语从句还可表示从句的动作正在进行的同时，主句的动作也在进行之中。
when引导的从句中的动词可以是瞬间动词，也可以是延续性动词，而while引导的从句中的动词是延续性动词。
四、一般过去时与过去进行时的区别
(1) 一般过去时表示过去发生的动作或存在的状态等，谓语动词用动词的过去式，常与yesterday, last week, in 2021, ten minutes ago 等表示过去的时间状语连用。
e.g. Li Hong bought a handbag for her mother yesterday.
I saw Mike in the library a few minutes ago.
I had a picnic with my family last Sunday.
The Greens moved house last year.
(2) 过去进行时表示在过去某一时刻或某一段时间内正在进行或发生的动作，由“was / were + v.-ing形式”构成，常与at this time yesterday, at that time, from eight to ten yesterday morning等时间状语以及when, while等引导的时间状语从句连用。
e.g. What were you doing at this time yesterday
Mary was reading a novel from eight to ten last night.
My brother was playing computer games when I went into his room.
(3) 一般过去时往往表示在过去某一时间已经完成的动作；而过去进行时则表示动作在过去的某一时间段或时间点正在进行，尚未完成。
e.g. Henry watched a movie yesterday.
亨利昨天看了一部电影。(动作已结束)
Henry was watching a movie at nine last night.
亨利昨晚九点在看一部电影。(动作在当时正在进行)
