一般过去时和过去进行时的区别一般, 过去时, 过去, 进行时, 区别 一般过去时和过去进行时,都是属于过去时态范畴,都是指过去发生的动作或存在的状态。因此,如何区别和使用一般过去时和过去进行时,是不少学生颇感棘手的一个难题。

一般过去时和过去进行时虽然同是指过去发生的动作或存在的状态,但是,它们还是有很大的区别,它们所表达的侧重点是不同的。它们的主要区别有以下几个方面:

1、过去一般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。试比较下面两组句子:

例1:
She joined the League three years ago.
The story took place in 1985.
Aunt read me a story last night.

例2:
Mary was cooking at this time yesterday.
She was doing some washing when I come in.
I was sleeping when the thief broke into the house.

例1中的three years ago、in 1985、last night 所指的过去时间均较为笼统;而例2中的at this timeyesterday、 when I came in、 when the thief broke into the house所指的过去时间均较为具体。



2、过去一般时表示的是某个动作是否发生过,而不太关注这个动作持续的时间;过去进行时却侧重于某个动作持续的时间长短。因而,过去进行时往往含有“整个晚上”、“一个上午”等含义。请比较下列例子:

例3:
Did he watch TV last night?
I got up at five yesterday.
I studied in that class last year.

例4:
Mum was doing some washing yesterday evening.[妈妈昨晚整个晚上都在洗衣服。]
What were you doing this morning? [你一个上午都在做什么?]
Jack was writing a letter to his parents last night.[杰克昨晚一直在给他的父母写信。]



3、过去一般时表示的某个动作已经完成,而过去进行时则不一定完成。请比较下列句子:来源 www.p268.com

例5:
1.Jack wrote a letter to his parents last night. [信写完了]
Jack was writing a letter to his parents last night.[信不一定写完]
2.She prepared the new lesson last night.[课备完了]
She was preparing the new lesson last night.[课不一定备完]
3.They planted trees last Sunday. [树植完了]
They were planting trees last Sunday. [树不一定植完]



4、过去进行时往往提供一个情境,这时,另外一个动作突然发生了。

例如:
It was a dark night.The wind was blowing hard and the rain was falling heavily.A stranger came outfrom behind a street.
The children were leaving school when they saw a truck
