24.过去进行时 <例句> What were you doing when I rang you? 我给你打电话的时候你在干吗? <语法分析> 过去进行时主要表示过去某时的一个动作正在进行,而过去的时间可以由一个状语表示出来,有时候时间由上下文表示出来。过去进行时既具有一般过去时的特点,又具有进行时的特点。过去进行时与一般过去时的基本差别是,前者表示一个正在进行的动作,而后者则表示一个已经完成的动作。而且,用进行时态时有时有感情色彩。 <触类旁通> (1) She was always working. 她总是不停地干活。 语法分析:这个句子具有赞扬的意味,有时用进行时态可使句子具有感情色彩,特别是带有always, forever和constantly等状语的时候。 (2) I got to know him when I was working in a pharmacy. 我在药房工作时结识了他。 语法分析:在状语从句中,经常要用到过去进行时。 (3) The kettle was boiling, the telephone was ringing and someone was knocking at the door. 壶里的水开着,电话铃响着,又有人在敲门。 语法分析:过去进行时表示正在进行的一次性动作。 (4) I was always missing trains. 我总是误火车。 语法分析:过去进行时可以表示经常重复性的动作。 (5)They were expecting to finish the work last week, but unexpectedly the machines went out of order. 他们原以为上个月会完成工作,但不巧机器出了故障。 语法分析:某些词或词组如come, go, plan, expect以及look forward to 等的过去进行时,有时是表示本来打算做而实际没有做成的事情。 (6) By the time he was ten he was already doing experiment in chemistry. 到十岁时,他已经在做化学实验了。 语法分析:过去进行时还可以表示该动作还未结束或已进入一个新阶段。 (7) I was wondering whether you could give me some advice. 不知道你可否帮我出点主意。 语法分析:有时用进行时表示现在的想法,可以显得客气一点。 <巩固练习> (1) Soon all the people of the city _____[talk] of the wonderful cloth.
