　　3-2 過(guò)去進(jìn)行式

　　過(guò)去進(jìn)行式和現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行式有點(diǎn)類(lèi)似，只是verb to be要用過(guò)去式的?？墒怯幸稽c(diǎn)不同，過(guò)去進(jìn)行式，很少單獨(dú)用的，而常和另一句子一齊用。舉例來(lái)說(shuō)以下的中文句子：

　　我昨天去看你的時(shí)候，你正在打籃球，如譯成中文，就是:

　　You were playing basketball when I went to see you yesterday.

　　以下是典型的過(guò)去進(jìn)行式用法

　　I was watching TV when you came to see me.

　　They were dancing when the teacher came in.

　　They were singing in the station when the train arrived.

　　Mr. Brown was cleaning his house when his son came home.

　　總而言之，過(guò)去進(jìn)行式通常牽涉到幾件事，這兩件事同時(shí)發(fā)生，其中一件事用過(guò)去式，另一件事用過(guò)去進(jìn)行式
