上海黄浦韦博英语学校的小编来教大家怎么使用过去进行时。

You use the past continuous tense to talk about something that occurred in the past.

当描述过去发生的事情的时候，你可以用过去进行时态来表达

Past continuous tense is used when the action you’re talking about started before the moment you’re describing, but had not finished.

过去进行时态可以用来描述在过去的某个时间点上，一个动作已经发生且没有结束

For example, in past tense, you might say:

例如，只用过去时 你可能会这样描述一个动作

‘I watched a film on TV yesterday. The film started at 7pm and finished at 9pm.’

我昨天在电视上看了一部电影，电影7点开始，9点结束

When we use the past continuous we say:

当我们用过去进行时的时候，我们可以这样说

‘At 8pm yesterday I was watching TV.’

昨天晚上8点的时候 我在看电视

The past continuous can be used to say that something happened in the middle of something else.

过去进行时还可以用来描述过去正在进行的某件事情的中间发生的另一件事情

For example, in past tense, you might say:

例如，用过去时态你可能会这样说

‘I cooked dinner yesterday. My sister called me.’

我昨天做晚饭了，我妹妹给我打电话了

When we use the past continuous we say:

当我们用过去进行时态，我们可以这样表达

‘I was cooking dinner when my sister called.’

我妹妹给我打电话的时候，我正在做晚饭
