例：昨晚我在读一本故事书。

　　 I read (read) a story book yesterday evening.

答案：was reading

解析：这两种时态的共同点是都用于表示过去发生的动作。但过去进行时强调动作正在进行，而一般过去时则表示过去某一时间所发生的动作或存在的状态，它表示的动作往往已经完成。“在”说明正在进行，而“I read a story book yesterday evening.”的意思是昨晚我读了一本故事书，言下之意已经读完了。故用过去进行时。

另外，在宾语从句中当主句为过去时，从句若是现在进行时，需变成过去进行时。

　　 e.g. He said that he was drawing a cat at noon yesterday.

专项训练：

例：My mother is cooking (cook)when I got home.

答案：was cooking

解析：这两种时态的共同点是都表示动作正在进行，但现在进行时前提是现在，而过去进行时前提是过去，由when I got home可看出前提是过去。

例：We were flying kites at 5:00 p.m. yesterday. (对划线部分提问)

　　 What were you at 5:00 p.m. yesterday?

答案：What were you doing at 5:00 p.m. yesterday?

解析：现在进行时中“What……doing……”?句式同样适用于过去进行时。

例：1 I watching (watch) TV when he came in.

　　 2 They were play (play) games at 5:00 p.m. yesterday.

　　 答案：1 was watching　 2 were playing

　　 解析：现在进行时中“be+现在分词,缺一不可”的规律也可应用于过去进行时。

　　 例：He was talked (talk) to his mum at that time.

　　 答案：was talking

　　 解析：过去进行时与现在进行时结构上的区别体现在be动词上。
