Past Continuous Tense的定義！！10分！急！thx-_-

Present Continuous Tense﹝現在進行時態﹞

動詞的現在進行時態的形態是：

am / are / is + 動詞的現在分詞
動詞的現在進行時態表示：

現在正在進行的動作或狀態
例如：

I am going to school.
You are eating an apple.
He is playing ball.
※ 有些動詞本身已經有「正在進行」的意思，所以不必用進行時態。
包括：
(1) 表示情感的動詞

例如：
錯誤 正確
I am loving you. I love you.
She is hating him. She hates him.
He is liking apples. He likes apples.
They are disliking oranges. They dislike oranges.

(2) 表示佔有的動詞

例如：
錯誤 正確
He is possessing a house. He possesses a house.
She is having two dogs. She has two dogs.

* He is having a bath. "is having" 不解作「佔有」，解作「行」。

* He is having his supper. "is having" 不解作「佔有」，解作「吃」。

(3) 動詞的進行時態表示的動作或狀態是暫時性的和可以立刻停止
的。如果動作或狀態是長期性的或不能立刻停止的，則不可用
進行時態。

例如：

I am seeing a flower.﹝錯誤﹞

I am looking at a flower.﹝正確﹞

* "see" 是外界的形象傳入我的眼中，使我看見；"look" 是我用心去看
外界的形象，使我看見。"see" 不能立刻停止，"look" 可以立刻停止。

* "look"是不及物動詞，要加 "at" 才及物。
Did you see anything?
I looked but saw nothing.
I am hearing the radio.﹝錯誤﹞

I am listening to the radio.﹝正確﹞

* "hear" 是外界的聲音傳入我的耳中，使我聽到；"listen" 是我用心去聽
外界的聲音，使我聽到。"hear" 不能立刻停止，"listen" 可以立刻停止。

* "listen"是不及物動詞，要加 "to" 才及物。
Did you hear any sound?
I listened but heard nothing.
I see everything but look at nothing.﹝視而不見﹞

I hear everything but listen to nothing.﹝聽而不聞﹞
但當 "see" 及 "hear' 不解作「看」和「聽」時，可用進行時態：

The policeman is seeing the matter.
﹝那警察正在查訪那事件。﹞
The judge is hearing the case.
﹝那法官正在審查那案件。﹞
The cow is standing on the hill.﹝正確﹞

The temple is standing on the hill.﹝錯誤﹞

The temple stands on the hill.﹝正確﹞

The horse is lying on the road.﹝正確﹞

A tree is lying on the road.﹝錯誤﹞

A tree lies on the road.﹝正確﹞

Past Continuous Tense是用在過去某一時段中進行的活動。

如果兩個動作同時進行，兩者都要用Past Continuous Tense：
When I was doing my homework last night, my brother was watching TV.(昨晚我做緊功課的時候，我的兄弟一直看著電視。)

如果兩個動作中，一個進行緊的時候，另一個發生；則進行緊的動作要用Past Continuous Tense，另一個用Simple Past Tense：
When I was doing my homework last night, the telephone rang.(昨晚我做緊功課的時候，電話響起來。)

Past Continuous Tense (Talking about what was going on at a certain past time)
-當時正在進行,但突然終止了(maybe +when/while)
-當時有2個或以上的事件同時進行(maybe +when/while)
was/were+verb ending in -ing.
