Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawkins was telling me about his experiences as a young man. Before he retired, Frank was the head of a very large business company, but as a boy he used to work in a small shop. It was his job to repair bicycles and at that time he used to work fourteen hours a day. He saved money for years and in 1958 he bought a small _workshop_ of his own. In his twenties Frank used to make spare parts for aeroplanes. At that time he had two _helpers__. In a few years the small workshop had become a large factory which employed seven hundred and twenty-eight people. Frank smiled when he remembered his hard early years and the long road to success. He was still smiling when the door opened and his wife came in. She wanted him to repair their grandson‘s bicycle!

过去进行时的概念
1.定义:过去进行时表示过去某一时刻或某段时间正在进行的动作。
2.构成:was/ were+动词-ing
Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawkins was telling me about his experiences as a young man.
昨天下午弗兰克·霍金斯向我讲述了他年轻时的经历。
He was still smiling when the door opened and his wife came in.
他正笑着的时候门开了,他的妻子走了进来。
Last Sunday, I went and sat on the river bank as usual. Some children were playing games on the bank and there were some people rowing on the river.
上星期天,我和往常一样,又去河边坐着。河岸上有些孩子正在玩耍,河面上有些人正在划船。
过去进行时的用法
★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。
★表示过去一段时间内正进行的动作。 We were talking about you the whole morning. 我们整个上午都在说你。★过去进行时的主要用法是描述一件事发生的背景
used to do
我们用used to do表示过去有过但现在已不存在的习惯,以便将过去与现在形成对照。它后面经常用由but now…, but, not…any more/any longer等构成的、用了一般现在时的句子以强调过去和现在的不同之处。
I used to smoke, but I don't smoke
any more/any longer.
我过去常吸烟,但现在已不吸了。
He used to be a lazy boy, but now he is very hard-working.
他过去是个懒孩子,但现在他很勤奋。
过去进行时与一般过去时的区分
1. 一般过去时的时间状语主要有:yesterday (morning, afternoon, evening), last night (week, month, year), ago, the day before yesterday, in 2003, just now, long long ago, one day等;
过去进行时的时间状语有:
at this/that time yesterday,
the whole evening,all day yesterday等。
He introduced Tom to us just now.
刚才他向我们介绍了汤姆。She was doing some washing all day yesterday.
昨天她洗了一整天的衣服。
2. 强调动作的角度不同
一般过去时强调动作的发生或状态的存在;而过去进行时强调动作正在进行的延续性。
I got up at five the day before yesterday.
前天我是五点起床的。
He was painting the lab the whole day yesterday.
昨天他一整天都在粉刷实验室。
3. 动词的特点不同
a. 行为动词在这两种时态中均可使用。
We planted trees two days ago. 两天前我们植树了。We were planting trees this time last Friday. 上周五这时候我们在植树。
b. 有些动词只用于一般过去时,而不能用于过去进行时。
1) 表示感观的动词:feel,hear, know, see, smell, taste等。
2) 表示状态、感情的动词:be, dislike, have, hate, love, like, want, wish等。
3) 表示心理活动的动词:forget, realize, recognize, remember, understand等。
4) 表示所属关系的动词:own, belong 等。
c. 一般过去时的谓语动词既可是延续性的也可是终止性的;过去进行时的谓语动词只能是延续性的。
Li Jian joined the army in 1998. 李健于1998年参军。( join为终止性动词)
She was cooking at that time. 那时她在做饭。(cook为延续性动词)
d. 情感不同
一般过去时是对过去事实的客观描述,语气比较客观、肯定;过去进行时有时也可表示埋怨、厌烦等情绪,带有描绘性和感情色彩。
试比较:
The plane took off late this morning.
这架飞机今天早上起飞晚了。(说明客观事实).
The plane was always taking off late. 这架飞机总是起飞晚。
(带有埋怨情绪,指责某事的发生)
小结
一般过去时表示的是过去经常发生的动作或状态。而过去进行时表示的是过去某一时刻正在进行的动作。因此,它们在使用的时间词语上有着比较明显的区别。那就是,一般过去时所指的过去时间却比较笼统,而过去进行时所指的过去时间则比较具体,并含有“当时正在做某事”的意思。
Before he retired, he was the head of a very large business company but as a boy he used to
work in a small shop.It was his job to repair bicycles and at that time he used to work fourteen hours a day
He saved money for years and in 1958 he bought a small workshop of his own.
In his twenties Frank used to make spare parts for aeroplane.
过去进行时与一般过去时:
过去进行时表示过去某个时刻或某段时间正在进行的动作,和一般过去时经常在一个句子里使用。与一般过去时相比,它更强调动作的持续性,一般过去时则表示比较短暂的动作或事件。在叙述故事时,过去进行时往往用来表示背景。
When I was watering the garden, it began to rain.
As I was getting on the bus, I slipped and hurt my foot.
used to do
used to do表示过去有过但现在已不存在的习惯,以便将过去与现在形成对照。
它后面经常用由but now…,but not…any more/any longer等构成的、用了一般现在时的句子以强调过去和现在的不同之处。
I used to smoke, but I don’t any more/longer.
used to仅用于一般过去。它的疑问句和否定句形式可以不用助动词do而用used本身。
used he to smoke? He usedn’t /used not to smoke.
但比较常用的形式是did和didn’t
Did he use to smoke? He didn’t use to smoke.
在针对used to提问时,一般也用did:
Focus on grammar
As a boy he used to work in a small workshop.
At that time , he used to work fourteen hours a day.
In his twenties Frank used to make spare parts for aeroplanes.
I used to go to work by bus . Now I go by car.

My uncle used to live in England but he’s now living in Australia.
I used to smoke very heavily,but I don’t smoke any more. I have given up smoking.
used to do 过去常常:表示过去有过但现在已不存在的习惯,以便将过去与现在形成对照。它后面经常用由but now… , but not … anymore/any longer 等构成, 用一般过去时 ,以强调过去与现在的不同。
eg: I used to smoke very heavily,but I don’t
smoke any more/any longer. I have given up
smoking.
Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawkins was telling me about his experiences as a young man.
