Teaching Objectives
In this class, students will:
l. understand the form and function of the past continuous tense.

Teaching Advice

Grammar Rules
过去进行时的基本用法 表示过去某个时刻或某一阶段正在进行的动作 1.过去进行时表示在过去某个确定的时间点或某一段时间里正在发生的动作。因此,原则上,常和表示过去的时间状语连用,如:then,at this/that time,at nine,last night 等。E.g. What were you doing at nine last night 2.有些情况下,句子中没有明确表示时间的状语,但从句子的上下文中可以得知这是在过去某一时间内正在进行的动作。 E.g. We didn't go shopping as it was raining heavily. 过去进行时中when 和while的区别 1.当when引导表示过去的时间状语从句时,后面可加延续性动词,时态用过去进行时;也可加非延续性动词,时态用一般过去时。 E.g. His mother came back when he was doing his homework. It was raining when I got up. 2.当while引导表示过去的时间状语从句时只能加延续性动词,时态用过去进行时,因为 while 表示较长的时间。 E.g. He fell asleep while he was watching TV. 3.当主句和从句时态都为过去进行时的时候,只能用while引导,不能用when引导。 E. g. I was reading while she was writing. 过去进行时的句型 肯定句 主语+be(was/were)十现在分词+…… E.g. She was playing the piano when the bell rang. 否定句 主语十be(was/were)十not十现在分词+…… E.g. He wasn't reading when I came home. 一般疑问句 Be ( Was/Were)+主语十现在分词+…… E.g. Were you cooking at that time 特殊疑问句 疑问词+be(was/were)+主语十现在分词+…… E.g. What were you doing when I called you When were you dancing yesterday 过去进行时和一般过去时的区别 一般过去时只表示一个完成的动作,而过去进行时表示过去某一具体时刻或时间段内正在进行的动作。也就是说,用一般过去时只是表示有过这件事;用过去进行时则强调了动作的连续性。 E.g. The children watched TV last night.(只说明昨晚孩子们看过电视,但看了多长时间并不知道) The children were watching TV last night.(不仅陈述昨晚孩子们看电视这一事实,更强调他们看电视的时间贯穿昨晚整个时间段)

Teaching Reflection
In today's listening and speaking class, students struggled a bit with using past continuous tense when describing actions during disasters. To improve, I'll add more controlled practice,like filling in blanks with “was/were +verb-ing”before pair work. Also, the extension on early-warning symbols felt rushed.
