各位如果懂現在進行式的話
其實過去進行式就也很好懂
過去進行式指的是在過去某個明確的時間點”正在”做的事
但前提是這個時間點必須很明確
比如你可以說: 昨天早上九點時我正在...
或: 你昨天打電話來的時候我正在...
但像: “昨天我正在... ” 這種句子就連在中文裡都不通了
因為昨天所包含的時間範圍太籠統了
但若是說: 昨天我正在看電視時, 她打電話來
”我正在看電視時” 就是個明確的時間點了
過去進行式的基本句型為: 主詞 + was / were + Ving
現在式的 be 動詞 am 和 is 到了過去式就變成 was
are 就變成 were
以下為句型變化範例:
I was taking a shower when you called.
I was not taking a shower when you called.
You were looking at that girl. (你當時正在看著那個女孩子) (指對話前面已提過的某個時候的”當時”)
You weren’t looking at that girl.
Were you looking at that girl?
Who were you looking at?
Dave was talking on the phone. (Dave 當時正在講電話)
Dave wasn’t talking on the phone.
Was Dave talking on the phone?
What was Dave doing? (Dave 當時在做什麼?)
My parents were watching TV.
My parents weren’t watching TV.
Were my parents watching TV?
What were my parents doing?
Jean and Henry were having lunch.
Jean and Henry weren’t having lunch.
Were Jean and Henry having lunch?
Where were Jean and Henry having lunch?
