本次主要讲过去进行时的形态及其功能。
Mike was walking on the beach.
迈克正在海滩上散步。
The boy was drowning.这个男孩快要淹死了。
以上两句划线部分均为过去进行时。过去进行时与现在进行时的形态与功能大致相同,只不过,过去进行时强周过去进行的状态。
1.形态
主语+was/were + 现在分词
例:I was sleeping at five.
5点钟我正在睡觉。
They were watching TV when I called.
我打电话时,他们正在看电视。
2.功能
2.1表示过去某个时刻正在发生的动作。
例: What was he doing then ?
他那时正在做什么?
When I walked in , he was eating .
我进来时,他睚在吃东西。
2.2 leave(离开)、come(来)、go(去)等表示“来”或者“去”的动词可用于过去进行时的句中,表示过去即将发生的事情。
例: He told me that he was leaving soon.
=He told me that he would leaving soon.
= He told me that he would be leaving soon.
他告诉我他很快就要离开了。
