今天小編為大家整理了有關(guān)過去進行時和一般過去時有哪些區(qū)別的相關(guān)內(nèi)容，以供同學(xué)們閱讀。

1)過去進行時和一般過去時的基本差別是，過去進行時表示一個正在進行的動作，而一般過去時表示一個業(yè)已完成的動作。

試比較下面的句子：

She was knitting a sweater for Tom.她在給湯姆織一件毛衣。

She knitted a sweater for Tom.她給湯姆織了一件毛衣。

He was doing his homework in the afternoon.下午他在做作業(yè)。

He did his homework in the afternoon.下午他把作業(yè)做完了。

I was writing an essay.我在寫一篇論文。(可能還沒寫完)

I wrote an essay yesterday.我昨天寫了一篇論文。(已寫完)

They were building a skyscraper.他們在建一座摩天大樓。(在修建)

They built a skyscraper.他們蓋了一座摩天大樓。(已蓋好)

2)有些動詞本身并不表示動作完成，如rain,snow,cough,wear,feel,wait,stay,work等，這時用兩種時態(tài)意思上差別不大：

It snowed all night.下了一整夜的雪。

It was snowing all night.

She wore a blue coat.她穿著一件藍外套。

She was wearing a blue coat.

He felt a bit uneasy.他感到有點不自在。

He was feeling a bit uneasy.

We stayed in a hotel.我們住在旅館里。

We were staying in a hotel.

3)用進行時態(tài)有時有感情色彩，特別是帶有always,forever,constantly這類狀語時，如：

He was always ringing up.他總是給我打電話。(厭煩)

She was always working.她總是不停地干活。(贊揚)

The old lady was forever grumbling.這老太太老是嘀嘀咕咕。(厭煩)

He was constantly changing his mind.他總是改變主意。(不以為然)

4)有時用進行時表示現(xiàn)在的想法，可以顯得客氣一點，如：

I was wondering whether you could give me some advice.不知你能否幫我出點主意。

I was thinking maybe he could go by taxi.我在想或許他可以坐的士去。

I was hoping you could reconsider our proposal.我希望你能再考慮一下我們的建議。

今天有關(guān)過去進行時和一般過去時有哪些區(qū)別的內(nèi)容就介紹到這里了。
