Module 8 Accidents
Unit 3 Language in use
外研八年级(上)
Learning Objectives
1.use when and while correctly;
2.master the use of past continuous tense;
3.write an accident report by using the past continuous.
By the end of the class, we will be able to:
Observe the following sentences.
While the lights were changing to red, a car suddenly appeared round the corner.
I was trying to pick it up when it bit me again.
What differences can you find between when and while?
when+ 一般过去时, while+过去进行时
3
过去进行时中when和while引导的时间状语从句
过去进行时常和when, while 引导的时间状语连用,构成复合句。两者之间既有相同点,也有不同点。
相同点:when和while都可表示“当······时”,用来引导时间状语从句,表示主句动作发生的背景。
4
不同点1:
when可以指时间点,也可以指一段时间,while只指一段时间,因此在引导时间状语从句时,when引导的时间状语从句中的动词可以是瞬间动词,也可以是延续性动词,而while从句中的动词必须是延续性动词。
e.g.We were talking when the teacher came in.
我们正在交谈,这时老师进来了。
They arrived when/while we were having dinner.
当我们正在吃晚饭时,他们到了。
5
不同点2:
由when引导的时间状语从句常用一般过去时,而主句用进行时;如果强调从句和主句的动作同时发生,两句都用过去进行时,且多用while引导从句
e.g.I was walking in the street when the accident happened.
我正在街上散步,这时这起交通事故发生了。
The accident happened when I was walking in the street.
当我正在街上散步时,这起事故发生了。
I saw the accident while I was walking on the road.
当我正在街上散步时,我看见了这起交通事故。
主句 when从句 while从句
过去进行时 一般过去时 过去进行时
一般过去时 过去进行时 过去进行时
6
归纳
如果主句和从句都用了过去进行时,那么从句用 引导; 如果从句是一般过去时,要用 引导;如果主句是 ,从句是 ,从句可用when或while引导。
