掌握 was/were V-ing 的用法, 為你的故事增添生動的背景描述。
過去進行式 (Past Continuous)
當你想說「我昨晚八點正在看電視」或「當你打電話來時, 我正在洗澡」, 這時候就要用「過去進行式」！它主要用來描述在過去某個特定時間點或某段時間內, 正在進行的動作。
何時使用過去進行式?
1. 描述過去特定時間點正在進行的動作
→ I was watching TV at 8 PM last night.
2. 描述某動作發生時, 另一個正在進行的背景動作
→ I was taking a shower when the phone rang.
3. 描述過去同時進行的兩個動作
→ While I was cooking, my husband was watching TV.
4. 描述故事的背景
→ The sun was shining, and the birds were singing. Suddenly, a loud noise was heard.
句型結構: was/were + V-ing
過去進行式的結構很簡單, 就是把 Be 動詞變成過去式 was 或 were, 後面加上動詞的 -ing 形式。
肯定句: 主詞 + was/were + V-ing...
- I was studying last night.
- They were playing games.
否定句: 主詞 + wasn't/weren't + V-ing...
- He wasn't sleeping at 10 PM.
- We weren't watching TV.
疑問句: Was/Were + 主詞 + V-ing...?
- A: Were you studying when I called?
B: Yes, I was. / No, I wasn't.
