一、小编按

在学过现在进行时之后，过去进行时的教学重点就落在了when与while的用法上，而且关键在于要判断清楚其大时间背景是过去即可。

在《新概念英语》中，涉及到过去进行时的内容并不多。

在上海历年的中考英语真题中，也考查得较少，而且即使考查到了，也主要是以考查when和while的用法为主。

二、过去进行时用法详解

英语过去进行时的用法大全

（二）学生常犯错误

1、忽视了大时间背景。有些学生往往会忽视所描述的动作或行为所发生的大时间背景，而采用了现在进行时。

2、与一般过去时混淆。有的学生会忽视了所描述的动作或行为的即时性或习惯性，而采用了一般过去时。如：He read a book this time last night.句中的this time说明要用进行时，所以句中read应该用was reading。

3、现在分词的变化规则错误。

三、听歌学英语之Love Story

《Love Story》是由美国乡村流行乐女歌手泰勒·斯威夫特（Taylor Swift）演唱的一首乡村歌曲，词曲由泰勒·斯威夫特创作，泰勒·斯威夫特和内森·查普曼共同制作，收录在她2008年11月发行的第二张录音室专辑《Fearless》中，并作为推广专辑的首支单曲被大机器唱片公司发布于2008年9月12日。

在创作这首歌时，泰勒的父母强烈反对她和一个男生交往，泰勒得到了来自莎士比亚的经典悲剧《罗密欧与朱丽叶》的灵感，联系自己的生活实际：一对恋人因为家族矛盾和父母反对无法走到一起，但却不屈于命运安排，最后用真挚的爱情感化了父母，过上幸福生活的故事。她回到房间、关上门，坐在卧室的地板上花了20分钟写下这首歌。

泰勒没有借用莎士比亚的悲剧结尾，而是自己书写了一个全新、美好的结局，使整个故事更加感人，歌曲曲风也不显乏味。

下面我们就来欣赏这首有着悲剧的开头和喜剧的结尾的爱情歌曲吧：

Love Story

We were both young when I first saw you.

I close my eyes and the flashback starts:

I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air.

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.

See you make your way through the crowd and say hello;

Little did I know

That you were Romeo; you were throwing pebbles,

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet."

And I was crying on the staircase, begging you, 'Please, don't go.'

And I said,

"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.

I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.

It's a love story, baby. Just say 'Yes.'

So I sneak out to the garden to see you.

We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew.

So close your eyes; escape this town for a little while.

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter,

And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet,"

But you were everything to me; I was begging you, 'Please, don't go,'

And I said,

"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.

I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story, baby. Just say 'Yes.'

Romeo, save me; they're tryin' to tell me how to feel.

This love is difficult, but it's real.

Don't be afraid; we'll make it out of this mess.

It's a love story, baby. Just say 'Yes.'

I got tired of waiting, wondering if you were ever comin' around.

My faith in you was fading when I met you on the outskirts of town.

And I said,

"Romeo, save me. I've been feeling so alone.

I keep waiting for you but you never come.

Is this in my head? I don't know what to think"

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said,

"Marry me, Juliet. You’ll never have to be alone.

I love you and that's all I really know.

I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress;

It's a love story, baby. Just say 'Yes.'

Oh, oh.

We were both young when I first saw you
