★ 過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)的基本用法
1. 過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)表示過(guò)去某個(gè)具體時(shí)刻或某一段時(shí)間內(nèi)正在進(jìn)行或持續(xù)進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作,常與之連用的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)有then, at that time / moment, at this time yesterday (last night / Sunday / week...), at+幾點(diǎn)鐘+yesterday(last night / Sunday...), those days, from 9 to 11 yesterday morning, the whole morning等。如:

★ 一般過(guò)去時(shí)與過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)的區(qū)別
1. 一般過(guò)去時(shí)表示過(guò)去某個(gè)時(shí)間發(fā)生的動(dòng)作或存在的狀態(tài),動(dòng)作往往已經(jīng)完成或結(jié)束;而過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)則表示過(guò)去某個(gè)時(shí)間正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作,動(dòng)作往往還未完成。如:
Jim wrote a letter to his friend last night.
昨晚吉姆給他的朋友寫了一封信。(信寫完了)
Jim was writing a letter to his friend when his father came back.
他爸爸回來(lái)的時(shí)候,吉姆正在給他的朋友寫信。(信不一定寫完)
2. 一般過(guò)去時(shí)和過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)都可以表示過(guò)去某段時(shí)間內(nèi)發(fā)生的動(dòng)作或存在的狀態(tài),但一般過(guò)去時(shí)只說(shuō)明過(guò)去發(fā)生了某事的事實(shí),而過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)常用來(lái)說(shuō)明持續(xù)性的動(dòng)作或狀態(tài),側(cè)重于動(dòng)作持續(xù)時(shí)間的長(zhǎng)度。如:
