过去进行时(Past continous tense):表示过去某时正在进行的动作(不强调是否完成)。主要用法是描述一件事发生的背景;一个长动作发生的时候,另一个短动作发生。
一、常用的时间状语:this morning、the whole morning、all day yesterday、from nine to ten last evening、when、while等等。例如:
1. When I got to the top of the mountain, the sun was shining. (当我到达山顶的时候,阳光灿烂。 )
2. What was he researching all day last Sunday? (上周日他一整天都在研究什么?)
3. My brother fell while he was riding his bicycle and hurt himself.(我哥哥骑自行车的时候从车上摔下来,受伤了。)
4. It was raining when they left the station.(他们离开车站的时候天正在下雨。 )
二、过去进行时可以表示在过去某个时间点发生的事情:时间点可以用介词短语、副词或从句来表示。例如:
介词短语表示时间点What was she doing at nine oclock yesterday? (昨天晚上九点她在做什么?)
when从句表示时间点When I saw him he was decorating his room.(当我看见他的时候他正在装饰房间。)
三、 在复合句中,如果主要动作和背景动作都是延续的或同时发生的,那么主从句的动词都可用过去进行时。例如:
两个动作都是延续的While he was waiting for the bus, he was reading a newspaper. (他边等车边看报。)
两个动作同时进行He was cleaning his car while I was cooking.(他擦车时我在做饭。)
四、通常不能用于过去进行时的动词主要有:agree、be、believe、belong、care、forge、hate、have(拥有)、hear、know、like、love、mean、mind、notice、own、remember、seem、suppose、understand、want、wish等。例如:

五、典型例题:

A. made
B. is making
C. was making
D. makes
答案C. 割伤手指是已发生的事情,应用过去时。同时,when表时间的同时性,玛丽在做衣服时提供事情发生的背景,因此用过去进行时。
