图解《新概念英语》语法之过去进行时

【配图注】伯明翰（Birmingham）位于英格兰中部，接近英格兰地理位置的中心，距伦敦仅160千米，是英国第二大城市，因此常被形象地称为“英格兰的大心脏”。这座城市有着迤逦的风光、优美的建筑和深厚的文化艺术积淀，处处散发着迷人魅力。配图为塞尔福里奇（Selfridge）百货商店，这座将消费目标人群定位在年轻人的商场，突显在低矮破旧的城市环境中，一经建成就成了当地的标志性建筑，也成了人们购物的必经场所。

过去进行时的用法与现在进行时基本类似，只是其描述的动作或行为的大背景时间是过去。

先来看看以下图解：

在学过现在进行时之后，过去进行时的教学重点就落在了when与while的用法上，而且关键在于要判断清楚其大时间背景是过去即可。

在《新概念英语》中，涉及到过去进行时的内容并不多。

在历年的中考英语真题中，也考查得较少，而且即使考查到了，也主要是以考查when和while的用法为主。

【学生常犯错误】

1、忽视了大时间背景。有些学生往往会忽视所描述的动作或行为所发生的大时间背景，而采用了现在进行时。

2、与一般过去时混淆。有的学生会忽视了所描述的动作或行为的即时性或习惯性，而采用了一般过去时。如：He read a book this time last night.句中的this time说明要用进行时，所以句中read应该用was reading。

3、现在分词的变化规则错误。

【歌词】

We were both young when I first saw you.

I close my eyes and the flashback starts:

I'm standing there on a balcony in summerair.

See the lights, see the party, the ballgowns.

See you make your way through the crowd and say hello;

Little did I know

That you were Romeo; you were throwing pebbles,

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet."

And I was crying on the staircase, begging you, 'Please, don't go.'

And I said,

"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.

I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.

It's a love story, baby. Just say 'Yes.'

So I sneak out to the garden to see you.

We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew.

So close your eyes; escape this town for a little while.

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter,

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet,"

But you were everything to me; I was begging you, 'Please, don't go,'

And I said,

"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.

I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story, baby. Just say 'Yes.'

Romeo, save me; they're tryin' to tell mehow to feel.

This love is difficult, but it's real.

Don't be afraid; we'll make it out of thismess.

It's a love story, baby. Just say 'Yes.'

I got tired of waiting, wondering if you were ever comin' around.

My faith in you was fading when I met you on the outskirts of town.

And I said,

"Romeo, save me. I've been feeling so alone.

I keep waiting for you but you never come.

Is this in my head? I don't know what to think"

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said,

"Marry me, Juliet. You’ll never have to be alone.

I love you and that's all I really know.

I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress;

It's a love story, baby. Just say 'Yes.'

Oh, oh.

We were both young when I first saw you
