英语语法练习:过去进行时经典例题
过去进行时主要表示过去某一时刻正在进行的动作,或表示过去某一阶段一直在进行的动作,现在和小编一起来看一下经典练习题吧!
1、Mary ___ a dress when she cut her finger.
A. made B. is making C. was making D. makes
答案C. 割伤手指是已发生的事情,应用过去时.同 时,when表时间的同时性,"玛丽在做衣服时"提供事情发生的背景,因此用过去进行时.
2、As she ___ the newspaper, Granny ___ asleep.
A. read; was falling B. was reading; fell C. was reading; was falling D. read;fell
答案B.句中的as = when, while,意为"当……之时".描述一件事发生的背景时,用过去进行;一个长动作发生的时候,另一个短动作发生.句意为 "在她看报纸时,奶奶睡着了."句中的 fell (fall的过去时),是系动词,后跟形容词,如:fall sick.
3、Tom ___ into the house when no one ___ .
A. slipped, was looking B. Had slipped, looked
C. slipped, had looked D. was slipping, looked
答案A分析此题先要理解好when ,表“此时”,说明主句中slipped是较短行为,而look是较长行为的片断,即汤姆溜进房子,此时没人瞧见,故选A为正确。

A was running... when B. was running ... while C. runs ... when D. ran ... while
答案A be(was, were ) + v.ing when .....表示when后面的动作突然发生。其实when在这里是并列连词, 而非从属连词。
