Question

一般过去式与过去进行时有什么区别呀？

Answer 1

区别一：过去进行时强调动作在过去某时刻正在进行或持续，而一般过去时表示动作的完成。如： He was writing his composition last night. 他昨晚在写作文。(不一定写完) He wrote his composition last night. 他昨晚写了一篇作文。(已经写完)

2、区别二：表示过去的状态、感觉及心理活动的静态动词(如be, like, love, hate, fear, own, hear, see, know, want, notice)可用于一般过去时，但通常不用于进行时。如： I hated it when a man spoke with his mouth full of food. 我讨厌人们说话时口里含着食物。

3、区别三：一般过去时与always, constantly, forever, continually 等连用，表示“过去经常性、习惯性的动作”；而过去进行时与 always, constantly, forever, continually 等连用，表示动作的重复，常带有感情 色彩。如： He always got up at six. 他过去总是六点起床。 He was always thinking of his work. 他总是一心想到工作。

4、区别四：有时过去进行时可以用来替换一般过去时，但一般过去时表示主语的行为是经过认真考虑的；而过去进行时表示一种较随便或没有进行仔细考虑的行为。如： I thought that he would agree with us. 我原以为它会同意我们的。 I was thinking of persuading him to follow my advice. 我想到了要说服他接受我们的建议。
