第二十二课 过去进行式when与while
一.本课要点及示例
在这一课里, 我们学习过去进行式句子, 并且要学习用 when, w-h-e-n, when 跟 while, w-h-i-l-e, while, 作表明时间的短句.
现在我们来听今天这一课的对话, 内容说到凯特告诉亨利她开车超速被交通 警察罚钱的事情. 请你注意听两位英文老师的发音和语调.
F: I got a traffic ticket this afternoon.
M: Were you parking in the wrong place?
F: No, I was driving too fast.
M: How fast were you going?
F: 55 in a 35 mile per hour zone.
M: Why were you in such a hurry?
F: I left school late and I was trying to get home before the rush hour.
M: Did you make it?
F: No, when the police officer was giving me the ticket, the rush hour started. It took me twice as long to get home.
在刚才那段对话里有一个常用的词 rush hour, r-u-s-h h-o-u-r, rush hour 这个词 指的是上下班交通最拥挤的时刻. 现在我们再把整段对话听一遍. 这次老师念 的比较慢, 请你注意听.
F: I got a traffic ticket this afternoon.
M: Were you parking in the wrong place?
F: No, I was driving too fast.
M: How fast were you going?
F: 55 in a 35 mile per hour zone.
M: Why were you in such a hurry?
F: I left school late and I was trying to get home before the rush hour.
M: Did you make it?
F: No, when the police officer was giving me the ticket, the rush hour started. It took me twice as long to get home.
现在我把刚才那段对话里的过去进行式句子挑出来, 请老师再念一遍给你听.
M: Were you parking in the wrong place?
F: I was driving too fast.
M: How fast were you going?
F: I was trying to get home before the rush hour.
F: When the police officer was giving me the ticket, the rush hour started.
二.过去进行式
听了上面那些句子,你或许已经注意到过去进行时态就是把动词加上i-n-g, 比 方 "停车" park, p-a-r-k, park 变成 parking, "去" go, g-o, go 变成 going, 然后在 这个动词前面斟酌情况用 was, w-a-s, was 或是 were, w-e-r-e , were.
现在我们来作一组练习, 由老师念一过去式句子, 请学生把句子改成过去进 行式, 这些句子都是从刚才那段对话里挑出来的. 下面就是一个例子:
M: Did you park in the wrong place?
F: Were you parking in the wrong place?
好, 现在我们开始作练习. 学生作句子的时候请你也一起作.
M: Did you park in the wrong place?
F: Were you parking in the wrong place?
M: I drove too fast.
F: I was driving too fast.
M: How fast did you go?
F: How fast were you going?
M: I tried to get home before the rush hour.
F: I was trying to get home before the rush hour.
M: The police officer gave me a traffic ticket.
F: The police officer was giving me a traffic ticket.
