过去进行时由“助动词be(was/were)+现在分词(动词-ing形式)”构成。
当主语是第一人称和第三人称单数时,要用was,其他则用were。
如:①Linda was drawing pictures at five yesterday afternoon.
昨天下午五点琳达正在画画。
②The children were doing their homework from 6:00 to 8:00 yesterday evening.
昨晚六点到八点孩子们正在做作业。

2. 过去进行的具体用法
1)表示在过去某一时刻正在发生的动作或该动作与过去的另一动作同时发生,这一特定的过去时间通常有时间状语(从句)或由上下文来表示。
The last time I saw Jane,she was picking cotton in the fields.
我最后一次见Jane,她正在地里摘棉花。
It was raining at 6 o'clock this morning.今早六点钟时正在下雨。
2)表示过去一段时间内正在进行的动作或存在的状态,但说话时不一定正在进行。

暴风雨来临的时候,这个女孩在做什么?
We were watching TV from seven to nine last night.昨晚7点到9点我们在看电视。
3)表示为过去的将来计划或安排好的活动,即按计划、安排过去将要发生的事。这类用法在没有明确上下文的情况下,通常会连用一个表示将来时间的状语。
用于come,go,leave,start,arrive, take off等短暂性的动词时,也可以用过去进行时表示过去将要发生的动作,用于某些动词。
He said that his sister was getting married next December.他说他妹妹12月结婚。
4)与always,constantly,frequently,forever等表示动作屡次发生的副词连用,强调动作的不断重复的,有一定的感情色彩。
They were always quarreling.他们老是吵架。
She was always thinking of others.她老是想到别人。

【注意】
现在进行时也有类似用法,但过去进行时是表示过去不断重复的动作,而现在进行时是表示现在不断重复的动作。
5)动词hope,wonder等的过去进行时常用来表示提出要求,虽然表示现在的内容,但语气比一般现在时或一般过去时要委婉、客气。
I was wondering if you could give me a lift.我不知你能否让我搭一下车。
I was wondering whether you could come to join us.
我想你能否过来跟我们一起活动?
基础过关
1、 用所给单词适当形式填空
1.The woman ________ (report) the news when the storm suddenly hit.
【答案】was reporting
【详解】句意:当暴风雨突然来袭时,这位女士正在播报新闻。从句中hit为一般过去时,说明事情发生在过去;主句强调暴风雨来临的那一刻,女士正在播报新闻,要用过去进行时。主语the woman是第三人称单数,对应的be动词用was,动词report的现在分词形式为reporting。
2.The boy ________ down on the ground when he saw the bear. (lie)
【答案】was lying
【详解】句意:当男孩看到熊的时候,他正躺在地上。根据when引导的时间状语从句,从句用一般过去时,主句强调该时刻正在持续的状态,需使用过去进行时,lie表示“躺”的含义时对应现在分词为lying,主语The boy是第三人称单数,故填was lying。
3.Paul said he ________ (play) basketball from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. yesterday afternoon.
【答案】was playing
【详解】句意:保罗说昨天下午四点到六点他一直在打篮球。主句said为一般过去时,宾语从句遵循“主过从过”;“from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. yesterday afternoon”是过去一段持续时间,用过去进行时;主语是he,be动词用was,play变为playing。故填was playing。
4.Alice and Rose __________ (argue) about whose plan was better.

9.The girl ________ (reply) to her friend’s note when the teacher came.
【答案】was replying
【详解】句意:老师进来的时候,这个女孩正在给她朋友写回信。was/were + doing(过去正在做)+ when + 一般过去时(突然发生短动作)。女孩当时正在回信(长动作,被短动作打断,用过去进行时)。主语“the girl”是单数,be动词用was,reply变现在分词replying,所以填was replying。
10.The boy was ________ (hide) behind the door when I came in.

【导语】本文讲述彼得在公园里看见了露西、丽丽和凯西。他躲在树后看她们谈论自己的理想,期间还看到了一些意外发生了。
【详解】16.句意:她们正在公园里散步。根据“One day when I went by the park, I saw Lucy, Lily and Cathy.”和所给词汇可知,我应该是看到她们正在散步,应用过去进行时was/were doing,因为主语They是第三人称复数,故用were doing。故填were walking。
17.句意:当我正在看她们时,一只猫从树上跑下来。根据“While I...(watch) them”可知,while引导时间状语从句,后接延续性动词,此处应用过去进行时was/were doing,因为主语I是第一人称单数,故用was doing。故填was watching。
18.句意:然后她们开始谈论她们的梦想。根据句意和所给单词可知,本文描述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时,“begin”“开始”的过去式是“began”。故填began。
19.句意:当我长大了我想成为一位著名的医生。根据“I...(become ) a famous doctor when grow up.”可知,本句是含有when引导的时间状语从句,遵循主将从现原则,因此从句应用一般将来时will do或am/is/are going to do,主语I是第一人称,故可以am going to do。故填will become/am going to become。
20.句意:当丽丽正在谈论她的梦想时,别的事情发生了。根据“While Lily...(talk) about her dream”可知,while引导时间状语从句,后接延续性动词,此处应用过去进行时was/were doing,因为主语Lily是第三人称单数,故用was doing。故填was talking。
21.句意:当他正在跑的时候,他摔倒了。根据“While he...(run)”可知,while引导时间状语从句,后接延续性动词,此处应用过去进行时was/were doing,因为主语he是第三人称单数,故用was doing。故填was running。
22.句意:我们所有人都过去帮助那个男孩。根据句意和所给单词可知,本文描述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时,“go”“去”的过去式是“went”。故填went。
23.句意:当我们正在讨论我们要把他送去哪个医院时,男孩的妈妈到了。根据“When we...(discuss) which hospital we would take him to, the boy’s mother arrived.”可知,when引导时间状语从句,后接延续性动词,此处应用过去进行时was/were doing,因为主语we是第一人称复数,故用were doing。故填were discussing。
24.句意:她什么也没说,打了120求助。根据句意和所给单词可知,本文描述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时,“call”“打电话”的过去式是“called”。故填called。
25.句意:当我们所有人正在等待救援时,另一个事故发生了。根据“While all of us...(wait ) for help, another accident happened.”可知,while引导时间状语从句,后接延续性动词,此处应用过去进行时was/were doing,因为主语all of us是第一人称复数,故用were doing。故填were waiting。
根据短文内容及括号内所给词的适当形式填空。

I 31 (think) about what to do when a man 32 (come) along the road. I 33 (explain) what had happened and when he 34 (go) for help, I 35 (talk) to the boy. Well, everything ended happily.
That’s all my news. Write and tell me yours soon.
Yours,
Mike

26.句意:我给你写信告诉你上周当我去看我叔叔时候发生了什么。“while”引导的时间从句,从句动词常用进行时。根据时间状语“last week”可知为过去进行时,主语是“I”,谓语结构是“was doing”,故填was visiting。
27.句意:一天下午,当我正带着他的宠物狗散步,我注意到一个又高又瘦的小男孩正在爬悬崖边旁的一棵树。“when”引导的时间状语从句,长动作一般用进行时。“带狗散步”为长动作,时态为“过去进行时”,结构“was/were doing”。根据主语“I”,后面应该是“was doing”,故填was taking。
28.句意:一天下午,当我正带着他的宠物狗散步,我注意到一个又高又瘦的小男孩正在爬悬崖边旁的一棵树。“notice sb. doing sth.”译为“注意到某人正在做某事”,故填climbing。

30.句意:突然,树枝断了,男孩从边缘跌落。“and”前后动词形式应该是一致的,前面是“broke”译为“断裂”,后面动词也要用过去式,“fall”过去式为“fell”。故填fell。
31.句意:当一个男人沿着马路过来时候,我一直想着做什么。“when”引导的时间状语从句,长动作一般用进行时。“一直想着”为长动作,时态为“过去进行时”,结构“was/were doing”。根据主语“I”,后面应该是“was thinking”,故填was thinking。
32.句意:当一个男人沿着马路过来时候,我一直想着做什么。“when”引导的时间状语从句,短动作为过去时,故填came。
33.句意:当男人寻求帮助时候,我解释发生了什么,并一直和男孩说着话。“发生”使用的是“过去完成时”,那么“解释”发生在之后,所以为一般过去时。故填explained。
34.句意:当男人寻求帮助时候,我解释发生了什么,并一直和男孩说着话。描述过去的事情用“一般过去式”,go应该变成“过去式”。故填went。
35.句意:当男人寻求帮助时候,我解释发生了什么,并一直和男孩说着话。“when”引导的时间状语从句,长动作一般用进行时。“说话”为长动作,时态为“过去进行时”,结构是“was/were doing”。根据主语“I”,后面应该是“was doing”,故填was talking。
