教学过程

Step 1　Language practice

1. Present the key sentences to the class. Read them with the whole class.

Step 2　Grammar summary

Sum up the grammar together with the whole class.

过去进行时

一、回顾复习：什么是现在进行时

现在进行时表示当前正在发生或进行的动作。谓语动词的构成为“am/is/

are+动词的现在分词”。

They are having a birthday party for their daughter.

他们正为女儿举办一个生日聚会。

Look! It’s raining so heavily. 看!雨下得多大。

二、新学新知：过去进行时

1. 含义：过去进行时表示过去某个时间或某一段时间正在进行的动作。

2. 构成：过去进行时谓语动词的构成为“was/were +动词的现在分词”。

I was having breakfast at 7:00 yesterday morning. 昨天早上７点我在吃早饭。

Alice was sitting by the river at that time. 那时爱丽丝正坐在河边。

They were having a tea party in the garden. 他们正在花园里举行茶会。

3. 句式变化

(1) 否定句：在was或were之后加not。was not = wasn’t; were not = weren’t。

They were not sleeping then. 他们那时没有在睡觉。

Linda wasn’t playing the piano from 8 to 9 last night.

昨天晚上８点到９点琳达没有在弹钢琴。

(2)一般疑问句：将was或were提到主语之前。回答时用was或were。

— Were you waiting for your friends then?  你那时在等你的朋友吗？

— Yes, I was. / No, I wasn’t.  是的，我在等。/不，我没有在等。

(3) 特殊疑问句：通常由疑问词加一般疑问句构成，提问主语时例外。

What were you doing at 5 pm yesterday? 昨天下午５点钟你在做什么？

Who were they playing with then? 那时他们在和谁一起玩？

三、辨别明确：一般过去时与过去进行时的区别

1. 一般过去时表示过去某个时间发生的动作或存在的状态；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。

I read an interesting story last night.

昨天晚上我读了一个有趣的故事。

I was reading an interesting story at 8 last night.

昨天晚上８点我正在读一个有趣的故事。

2. 一般过去时的时间状语通常比较笼统，不具体，如yesterday, just now, last year, three days ago等；过去进行时的时间状语通常比较具体，如at that time, at 11 yesterday, between 8 and 10 last Saturday等。

They played basketball yesterday afternoon.

昨天下午他们打篮球了。

They were playing basketball at 5 pm yesterday afternoon.

昨天下午５点他们正在打篮球。
