  • 过去进行时
  • 宾语从句

过去进行时的概念:

过去进行时表示在过去某一时刻或某一段时间内进行或发生的动作。其形式为was /were + V-ing。
常与表示过去的时间状语连用,如:last night, last Saturday等;或者与when, while, as引导的过去时间状语连用。


过去进行时的基本用法:  

1、主要表示过去某一时间正在进行的动作:
如:He fell asleep when he was reading. 他看书时睡着了。  
        We were expecting you yesterday. 我们昨天一直在等你。  
        He was playing while I was studying. 我在做功课时他在玩。  
2、过去进行时表示现在:  
用过去进行时表示现在主要是为了使语气委婉、客气。
如:I was wondering if you could give me a lift. 我不知你能否让我搭一下车。  
       We were hoping you would stay with us. 我们很希望你能跟我们住在一起。      
        How much did you want to spend, sir? 先生,您打算花多少钱?  
【注】一般过去时也有类似用法,但比较而言,用过去进行时显得更客气,更不肯定。  
3、过去进行时表示感情色彩:  
      与现在进行时相似,过去进行时也可表示满意、称赞、惊讶、厌恶等感情色彩,也通常与always, forever, continually等副词连用。
如:They were always quarrelling. 他们老是吵架。  
        The boy was continually asking questions. 这个男孩子老是问东问西的。  
4、动词be的过去进行时:  
      动词be的进行时也可表示过去一时的表现或暂时的状态。
如:He was friendly. 他很友好。(指过去长期如此)   
        He was being friendly. 他当时显得很友好。(指当时一时的表现)


过去进行时与一般过去时的区别:

(1)过去进行时强调动作在过去某时刻正在进行或持续,而一般过去时表示动作的完成。
如:He was writing his composition last night. 他昨晚在写作文。(不一定写完)
        He wrote his composition last night. 他昨晚写了一篇作文。(已经写完)
(2)表示过去的状态、感觉及心理活动的静态动词(如be, like, love, hate, fear, own, hear, see, know, want, notice)可用于一般过去时,但通常不用于进行时。
如:I hated it when a man spoke with his mouth full of food. 我讨厌人们说话时口里含着食物。
(3)一般过去时与always, constantly, forever, continually等连用,表示“过去经常性、习惯性的动作”;
而过去进行时与always, constantly, forever, continually等连用,表示动作的重复,常带有感情的色彩。
如: He always got up at six. 他过去总是六点起床。
          He was always thinking of his work. 他总是一心想到工作。
(4)有时过去进行时可以用来替换一般过去时,但一般过去时表示主语的行为是经过认真考虑的;
而过去进行时表示一种较随便或没有进行仔细考虑的行为。
如:I thought that he would agree with us. 我原以为它会同意我们的。
        I was thinking of persuading him to follow my advice. 我想到了要说服他接受我们的建议。

:下面几种情况不用一般过去时而要用过去进行时:
1、表示过去某一阶段暂时性的习惯动作时。
如:Tom was getting up at six o'clock every day that week. 汤姆那一周里每天都是六点钟起床。
2、与always连用表示赞美,厌烦等感情色彩时。
如:John was always coming to school late. 约翰上学总是迟到。
        LeiFeng was always doing good deeds for the people. 雷锋总是为人民做好事。
3、用来描写故事发生的情景时。
如:It was a dark night. The wind was blowing hard and the rain was falling heavily. A PLA man suddenly appeared on the river bank. He wanted to cross the river.
       那是一个漆黑的夜晚,风刮得很厉害,雨下得很大,一个解放军战士突然出现在河岸上,他想过河去。
4、when作并列连词,表示“(这时)突然”之意时,第一个并列分句用过去进行时,when引导的并列分句用一般过去时。
如:I was taking a walk when I met him. 我正在散步,突然遇见了他。
       We were playing outside when it began to rain. 我们正在外边玩,这时下起雨来了。
5、go, come, leave, start, arrive等动词可用过去进行时表示过去将来的含义。
如:I was leaving for Wuhan that day. 那天我正要去武汉。
       She was coming later. 她随后就来。


宾语从句的概念:

置于动词、介词等词性后面起宾语作用的从句叫宾语从句。宾语从句的语序必须是陈述语序。谓语动词、介词、动词不定式,v.-ing形式后面都能带宾语从句。有些形容词(afraid, sure, glad等)之后也可以带宾语从句。


宾语从句的用法:

1、宾语从句的引导词:
宾语从句通常由连词that和whether(if)、连接代词或连接副词以及关系代词型what引导:
如:We believe that he is honest. 我们相信他是诚实的。
         I don't know whether he'll arrive in time. 我不知道他是否能及时到。
         I don't know who(m) you mean. 我不知道你指谁。
        He asked why he had to go alone. 他问他为什么必须一个人去。
        Please tell me which you like. 告诉我你喜欢哪一个。
        She has got what she wanted. 她要的东西得到了。
:有时介词后可接跟一个宾语从句(但介词后通常不接that和if引导的宾语从句):
如:From what you say, he is right. 根据你所说的,他是对的。
有极个别介词(如but,except)可接that引导的宾语从句:
如:She remembered nothing about him except that his hair was black. 她对他什么都不记得,只记得他的头发是黑的。
2、宾语从句与形式宾语it:
当宾语从句后跟有宾语补足语时,通常在宾语从句处使用形式宾语it,而将真正的宾语从句移至句末:
如:I think it best that you should stay here. 我认为你最好住这儿。
       He hasn't made it known when he is going to get married. 他还没宣布他何时结婚。
3、连词that的省略问题:
引导宾语从句的连词that通常可以省略:
如:She said(that) she would come to the meeting. 她说过要来开会的。 
        I promise you(that) I will be there. 我答应你我会去。
:有时为了强调,that引导的宾语从句可位于句首,此时that不可省略:
如:That she is a good girl I know. 她是一个好姑娘,我是知道的。
4、宾语从句与否定转移当动词think, believe, suppose, expect, imagine后接一个表示否定意义的宾语从句时,其否定通常转移到主语:
如:I don't suppose that it is true. 我认为那不是真的。
        I don't imagine that he will come. 我想他不会


使用宾语从句特别注意:

一、宾语从句的语序:
宾语从句的语序是陈述句语序即:连接代词/副词+主语+谓语+其他成分。
如:I don't know what they are looking for.
       Could you tell me when the train will leave?
       Can you imagine what kind of man he is?
二、宾语从句的时态:
主句是一般现在时,从句根据实际情况使用任何时态。
句:The headmaster hopes everything goes well.
主句是过去时态,从句须用过去时态的某种形式。
句:She was sorry that she hadn't finished her work on time.
当宾语从句表示的是一个客观真理或者事实时,即使主句是过去时,从句也用一般现在时态。
如:The teacher told his class that light travels faster than sound.
三、宾语从句的特点:
宾语从句可以作及物动词、介词及形容词的宾语。宾语从句的语序一律用陈述句语序。连接词that引导宾语从句在句中无词义,不充当句子成份,多数情况下可以省略。whether和if都可引导宾语从句,但whether后可紧跟or not;whether从句可作介词的宾语。如果从句太长,可以用形式宾语it.
