過去進行式 (Past Continuous Tense)
用法解釋
過去進行式（Past Continuous Tense）的句型是怎樣的？
|
You (你) / We (我們) / They (他們) |
主語 + were + 動詞（現在分詞） - They were having basketball training this time yesterday. （他們在昨天的這個時間正在進行訓練。） |
|
I (我) / He (他) / She (她) / It (它) |
主語 + was + 動詞（現在分詞） - I was studying when my mum came back. （當我媽媽回家的時候，我正在溫習。） |
我們應該在甚麼時候使用過去進行式（Past Continuous Tense）？
過去進行式（Past Continuous Tense）應該被使用在：
1. 一個在過去正在進行的動作被打斷。介入的事件通常是一個較短暫的行動，並且會用過去式（Simple Past Tense）表達。
|
I was sleeping when the robber broke into my house. (longer action) (shorter action) （那個強盜闖入我家的時候，我正在睡覺。） |
|
They were having dinner when I arrived. (longer action) (shorter action) （我到達的時候，他們正在吃晚飯。） |
2. 用作形容同一時間發生的兩件事，亦可以被稱為平行活動（parallel actions）.
|
I was watching the TV while she was doing her homework. （我正在看電視，同時她正在做功課。） |
|
My brother was practicing piano while my mother was preparing dinner. （我的弟弟正在練習鋼琴，同時我的媽媽正在準備晚餐。） |
- 一連串的平行活動可以放在一起以表達過去某個時間點的氣氛。
例子：
When the teacher entered the classroom, it was in complete chaos. Some students were chatting loudly, some were doing their homework, some were running around the classroom and some of them were still having their lunch. The teacher angrily shouted at the students and asked them to return to their seats quietly.
（當老師踏入教室的時候，那裡一片混亂。有些同學在大聲聊天，有的同學在做功課，有的同學在跑來跑去，有的同學仍然在吃午餐。老師生氣地向學生喊叫並要求他們安靜地回到自己的座位。）
|
以上的段落描述了一個教室在過去某個時間點的景像。 |
3. To describe a habitual action in the past.
|
They were always complaining about the services. |
|
My sister was constantly late to class, her class teacher was very angry about it. |
When和While?
“When” 和 “While” 兩者都可以用於描述兩件同時發生的事，但兩者之間有一點不同之處：
|
While |
When |
