过去进行时
单项选择
1.情境聚焦真实生活:如家庭活动、校园场景、极端天气下的应急学习。
2.文化层面侧重本土特色:如通过社区协作、传统节日筹备传递文化认同。
3.价值观强调责任意识与团队精神:如描述帮助同学完成项目、参与公益活动的过程。
4.语法层面:主从复合句(如when/while引导的时间状语从句)为高频考点,需结合语境判断动作延续性。
5.命题注重基础用法与交际功能结合:体现 “语言即生活”的新课标理念。
知识点 过去进行时
1. 定义:过去某个 “具体时间” 正在做的动作
表示 过去的某一时刻或某一段时间内,正在进行的、未完成的动作(比如 “昨天晚上 8 点我正在看电视”)。
对比一般过去时:一般过去时表 “过去做过的动作(已完成)”,过去进行时表 “过去某个时间正在做的动作(未完成)”。
一般过去时:I watched TV last night.(昨晚我看了电视,已完成)
过去进行时:I was watching TV at 8 pm last night.(昨晚 8 点我正在看电视,当时正在做)
2. 结构:was /were + 动词的现在分词(doing)
主语人称
be 动词形式
例句
I / he / she / it
was
He was reading a book from 8 to 10 last night.(他昨晚8点到10点正在看书。)
you / we / they
were
They were playing basketball at 4 pm.(他们下午 4 点正在打篮球。)
现在分词变化规则:
(1)一般直接加 ing:play → playing,read → reading;
(2)以不发音的 e 结尾,去 e 加 ing:write → writing,take → taking;
(3)重读闭音节(辅 + 元 + 辅),双写尾字母加 ing:run → running,swim → swimming。
3. 时间标志词
(1)at + 过去时间点:at 9 o’clock yesterday(昨天 9 点),at this time last week(上周这个时候);
(2)from...to... + 过去时间:from 7 to 8 am yesterday(昨天早上 7 点到 8 点);
(3)when /while 引导的时间状语从句(重点!)
连词
用法特点
例句(主句:过去进行时;从句:一般过去时)
when
从句动作可长可短,常表示 “某动作发生时,另一动作正在进行”
When Tom called me, I was taking a shower.(汤姆给我打电话时,我正在洗澡。)
while
从句动作常为持续动作(可接进行时),表示 “两个动作同时持续”
While my mom was cooking dinner, I was doing my homework.(妈妈做晚饭时,我正在写作业。)
Eg.(when 接短动作,过去进行时接长动作):I was walking home when it rained.(下雨的时候,我正在走路回家。“下雨” 是短动作,用一般过去时;“走路” 是长动作,用过去进行时)
(while 接两个长动作,都用过去进行时):While my mom was cooking, I was doing my homework.(我妈妈做饭的时候,我正在写作业。“做饭” 和 “写作业” 都是长动作,都用过去进行时)
(4)无需明确时间状语的情况
若上下文已暗示 “过去的特定场景”,即使没有显性时间状语,也可使用过去进行时(时间需从语境中推断)。
I saw her yesterday. She was wearing a red dress.(我昨天见到她了,她正穿着一条红裙子。)(上下文 “yesterday” 暗示过去时间)
He was typing quickly, so he didn’t notice me.(他当时正快速打字,没注意到我。)(上下文 “didn’t notice” 暗示过去时间)
4.过去进行时与一般过去时的区别
1)状态:
过去进行时强调过程,不一定完成;一般过去时强调事件,一定完成
2)动作
过去进行时表示动作反复地进行;一般过去时表示只做一次动作
注意:
易|错|点|拨
1.混淆 “一般过去时” 和 “过去进行时”:关键看 “是否强调‘正在进行’”。
❌:I was finished my homework at 7 pm.(finished 是过去式,不是现在分词)
✅:I finished my homework at 7 pm.(7 点完成了作业,用一般过去时)
✅:I was finishing my homework at 7 pm.(7 点正在写作业,用过去进行时)
2.be 动词和主语搭配错误:he/she/it 用 was,you/we/they 用 were。
❌:She were listening to music.
✅:She was listening to music.

A.forgot;played B.forgot;was playing

【答案】D
【解析】句意:——亚历克斯,昨晚九点你为什么不接我的电话?——对不起。我把手机落在家里了。我和我的朋友在公园里打篮球。
考查动词和时态辨析。forgot是forget的过去式,表示忘记,主要强调忘记某事或忘记做某事;left是leave的过去式,主要强调把某物落在某个地方。本题的第一个空强调手机落在家里,所以用left。由题中的at nine确定第二个空是过去进行时,表示在那时(9点的时候)我正在打篮球。根据句意结构和语境,故选D。
45.________ the earthquake happened, most of the people ________ at home.
A.While; were sleeping B.When; slept C.While; slept D.When; were sleeping

Eg.(when 接短动作,过去进行时接长动作):I was walking home when it rained.(下雨的时候,我正在走路回家。“下雨” 是短动作,用一般过去时;“走路” 是长动作,用过去进行时)
(while 接两个长动作,都用过去进行时):While my mom was cooking, I was doing my homework.(我妈妈做饭的时候,我正在写作业。“做饭” 和 “写作业” 都是长动作,都用过去进行时)
(4)无需明确时间状语的情况
若上下文已暗示 “过去的特定场景”,即使没有显性时间状语,也可使用过去进行时(时间需从语境中推断)。
I saw her yesterday. She was wearing a red dress.(我昨天见到她了,她正穿着一条红裙子。)(上下文 “yesterday” 暗示过去时间)
He was typing quickly, so he didn’t notice me.(他当时正快速打字,没注意到我。)(上下文 “didn’t notice” 暗示过去时间)
4.过去进行时与一般过去时的区别
1)状态:
过去进行时强调过程,不一定完成;一般过去时强调事件,一定完成
2)动作
过去进行时表示动作反复地进行;一般过去时表示只做一次动作
注意:
易|错|点|拨
1.混淆 “一般过去时” 和 “过去进行时”:关键看 “是否强调‘正在进行’”。
❌:I was finished my homework at 7 pm.(finished 是过去式,不是现在分词)
✅:I finished my homework at 7 pm.(7 点完成了作业,用一般过去时)
✅:I was finishing my homework at 7 pm.(7 点正在写作业,用过去进行时)
2.be 动词和主语搭配错误:he/she/it 用 was,you/we/they 用 were。
❌:She were listening to music.
✅:She was listening to music.
