1) 延续性动词和非延续性动词
延续性动词指动作可以延续一段时间, 而不是
瞬间结束。
如: work、study、drink、eat等。
非延续性动词指动作极为短暂,瞬间结束。
如: start、begin、hit、jump、knock等。2) 在本单元中, 出现了以when和while引导的
时间状语从句。
when表示“当……的时候”。从句中既可用延续性
动词, 又可用非延续性动词, 这些动词既可以
表示动作, 又可表示状态。从句中的动作既可
和主句的动作同时发生, 又可在主句的动作之前
或之后发生。如:
Mary was having dinner when I saw her .
The boy was still sleeping when his mother got
home yesterday morning .while表示“在……的时候”、“在……期间”。
它强调主句的动作与从句的动作同时发生或
主句的动作发生在从句的动作过程中。While
从句中必须是表示动作或状态的延续性动词。如:
The weather was fine while we were in Beijing .
She called while I was out.
如果主句的动作在从句的动作过程中发生,
从句常用进行时。如:
While we were swimming someone stole our clothes .
Don’t talk so loud while others are working. 总结
1) when可指时间点, 又可指时间段, 从句中
可用延续性动词, 也可用非延续性动词。
2) while总是指一个时间段, 从句中必须用延
续性动词。1. _______ Jennifer was reading a magazine,

1) 一般动词在词尾加-ing, 如go--going。
2) 以不发音字母e结尾的动词, 先去掉e, 再加-ing。
come--coming make--making write--writing
3) 以重读闭音节结尾的动词, 如果末尾以一个
辅音字母结尾, 应先双写这个字母, 再加ing,
x和w结尾的除外。
如: get--getting swim--swimming
show--showing 4) 以字母y结尾的单词, 直接加ing。
如carrying、playing、studying。
5) 以字母ie结尾的动词, 变ie为y, 再加ing。
die → dying lie →lying
6) 以元音字母加e结尾, 或以e结尾, 且e发音的
动词, 直接加- ing。

1)一些动词, 如see、hear、love、like、know、
remember; understand、have等表示感情、
知觉和状态的词, 一般不用于进行时态。
2) 在there和here引起的句子中, 常用一般现在
时代替现在进行时。
e.g. Here comes the bus.
There goes the bell.5. 过去进行时和一般过去时的区别
1) 过去进行时表示过去正在进行的动作,
而一般过去时则表示一个完整的动作。如:
They were writing letters to their friends last night.
昨晚他们在写信给他们的朋友。
(没有说明信是否写完)
They wrote letters to their friends last night .
他们昨晚写了信给他们的朋友。
(表达了他们已写好的意思, 整个写的过程已完成)2) 当动作延续较长时间时或表示厌烦、赞美等
感情色彩时, 常用过去进行时表示。如:
He was thinking more of others than of himself.
他考虑别人的比考虑自己的多。
(表示说话者赞扬的口气)
The boy was always making trouble then .
那时, 他总是惹麻烦。(表示说话者厌烦的口气)过去进行时
含义: 表示过去某个时刻
正在进行的动作。
结构:
was/were + doing

class at this time yesterday.
现在进行时
含义: 表示现在
正在进行的动作。
结构:
is/am/are + doing
