關於英文句型問題。?

2017-04-06 12:03 pm
Policeman:Do you have any idea who the thief might be?
Jessie:Yes,I do. A strange man was hanging around outside last week.
Policeman:Anything else?
Jessie:Yes,he was carrying a very old briefcase.And he was taking pictures of the things in my store.
想請問知識大大們,為什麼上述那些句子Jessie所回答使用都是用過去進行式呢?例如:was hanging、 was carrying、was taking,謝謝:)

英文的動詞依照意思分為action verb和state verb兩種。
發生在過去的action verb,如果時間點較重要時,會用「過去簡單式」;如果過程較重要時,則會用「過去進行式」。這裡的hang, carry, take都是action verb,依句意邏輯都是在表達「過程較重要」的狀況下,所以用「過去進行式」。

因被提及的奇怪男人在"過去的時間裡一直在外面閒逛,手中也一直拿著行李箱,又一直在拍照",三項動作都是過去的"持續"行為,故使用過去進行式。

進行式表某一動作在持續進行。

Because of strange man mentioned in past time "hanging out"; "holding"; "photographing"The 3 movements are used without interruption in progressive tense to sustainable behaviour;so the use of past continuous tense.

因為她在回憶當時發生的事所以都是過去式~~
過去式其實也有表達意思
就像說 I am thinking about my exam->我正在想關於考試的事
I was thinking about my interview and didn't notice that there was a car->我當時正在思考面試的事 沒注意到有來車

用進行式也有意思的
說 I carried an umbrella with me ... 聽者理解:你帶了一把傘
I was carrying an umbrella with me... 聽者理解:你今天一直帶著一把傘


Hope this helps.

一般筒單式僅指一個事實且為時點,而進行式指一個時段且會短時間結束,另外進行式有強調語氣作用,例:I am feeling good.

因為might be 是過去式
