讲一讲图片的语法知识点---**Title:** 1.5 Simple Past and Past Progressive Review
**Table: Simple Past and Past Progressive**
| | Simple Past | Past Progressive |
| :--------------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Affirmative Statements | Jim left the party at 8:00 last night. Jun and Kim stayed until 10:00. | Jim was driving home at 8:15. Jun and Kim were talking at 8:15. |
| Negative Statements | Javier didn't go to class yesterday. He didn't feel well. | Sue wasn't taking notes. We weren't texting during the class. |
| Yes/No Questions | Did Jan read the news this morning? Did you eat lunch yesterday? | Was Tim reading at age five? Were you eating lunch at 1:00? |
| Wh- Questions | Where did you go last night? | What were you doing at 8:00 last night? |

**Usage and Examples:**
1. Use the simple past for:
a. completed actions or events
b. repeated past actions that are not likely to happen again
c. a past state or feeling
Examples:
a. We ate lunch at noon.
b. The twins played several games.
c. Nadia was sick yesterday.
2. Add -ed to most regular verbs to form the simple past. For negative forms, use didn't + the base form of the verb. Many common verbs are irregular\* and do not end in -ed.
Examples:
Regular: Rui played soccer yesterday, but he didn't play today.
Irregular: I saw Marta, but I didn't see Lori.
3. Use the past progressive for an action or event that was in progress:
a. at a specific time in the past
b. when another action or event happened. The second action or event may cause the action in progress to end.
**Chart/Diagram Description:**
Two timeline diagrams.
Both are horizontal lines with arrows pointing to the right, indicating progression over time.
There are labels below the line indicating points in time.
Sections of the timeline are marked with horizontal bars (solid or dashed) representing durations of actions.
**Timeline a:**
- The timeline shows a point labeled "9:00" and another labeled "now".
- Above the timeline, a red bar labeled "was watching TV" extends from some point before 9:00 and ends at 9:00.
- Sentence below the timeline: She was watching TV at 9:00. Now she's asleep.
**Timeline b:**
- The timeline shows a point labeled "broke down" and another labeled "now".
- Above the timeline, a red dashed bar labeled "were driving" extends from some point before "broke down" to the point "broke down".
- Sentence below the timeline: We were driving to the store, and our car broke down.
**Remember:**
4. The progressive is not usually used with stative verbs.
Examples:
✓ I believed his story for a long time.
✗ I was believing his story for a long time.

欢迎学习英语语法！今天我们要复习一般过去时和过去进行时。这两种时态都用来描述过去发生的事情，但用法不同。一般过去时表示过去完成的动作，如"Jim left at 8:00"。过去进行时表示过去某个时间正在进行的动作，如"Jim was driving home"。让我们通过表格来了解它们的基本形式。
现在让我们详细了解一般过去时的用法。一般过去时主要用于三种情况：第一，表示过去已经完成的动作或事件，比如"We ate lunch at noon"，我们在中午吃了午饭。第二，表示过去重复发生的动作，比如"The twins played several games"，双胞胎玩了几场游戏。第三，表示过去的状态或感受，比如"Nadia was sick yesterday"，娜迪亚昨天生病了。在动词变化方面，规则动词加ed，而不规则动词需要记忆，比如see的过去式是saw。
现在我们来学习过去进行时的用法。过去进行时主要用于两种情况。第一种是表示过去某个特定时间正在进行的动作，比如"She was watching TV at 9:00"，她在9点的时候正在看电视。第二种是表示过去某个动作发生时，另一个动作正在进行，比如"We were driving to the store, and our car broke down"，我们正开车去商店，这时车坏了。过去进行时的形式是was或were加动词的ing形式。需要注意的是，状态动词通常不用进行时。
现在让我们对比这两种时态的关键区别。一般过去时强调动作的完成，有明确的时间点，动作已经结束，比如"I read a book yesterday"，我昨天读了一本书，表示已经读完了。而过去进行时强调动作的进行过程，动作在某个时间点正在发生，可能被其他动作打断，比如"I was reading a book at 8 PM"，我晚上8点正在读书，强调正在进行。两种时态经常结合使用，比如"I was reading when he called"，他打电话时我正在读书。最后要记住，状态动词通常不用进行时，我们说"I believed his story"而不是"I was believing his story"。
让我们来总结今天学习的要点。一般过去时表示过去完成的动作，形式是动词过去式或didn't加原形。过去进行时表示过去正在进行的动作，形式是was或were加动词ing形式。要记住状态动词不用进行时，两种时态经常结合使用。现在我们来做几道练习题。第一题：Yesterday, I什么TV when my friend called，应该选择was watching，因为表示正在进行的动作。第二题：She lived in Paris for 5 years是正确的，而She was living in Paris for 5 years是错误的，因为表示过去的状态用一般过去时。第三题：While I什么study，he什么arrive，答案是was studying和arrived，这是进行时和一般过去时的结合使用。恭喜大家完成了今天的学习，继续练习，熟练掌握这两种时态！
