區別一:過去進行時強調動作在過去某時刻正在進行或持續,而一般過去時表示動作的完成。如:
He was writing his composition last night. 他昨晚在寫作文。(不一定寫完)
He wrote his composition last night. 他昨晚寫了一篇作文。(已經寫完)
區別二:表示過去的狀態、感覺及心理活動的靜態動詞(如be, like, love, hate, fear, own, hear, see, know, want, notice)可用於一般過去時,但通常不用於進行時。如:
I hated it when a man spoke with his mouth full of food. 我討厭人們說話時口裡含著食物。
區別三:一般過去時與 always, constantly, forever, continually 等連用,表示“過去經常性、習慣性的動作”;而過去進行時與 always, constantly, forever, continually 等連用,表示動作的重複,常帶有感情 色彩:
He always got up at six. 他過去總是六點起床。
He was always thinking of his work. 他總是一心想到工作。
區別四:有時過去進行時可以用來替換一般過去時,但一般過去時表示主語的行為是經過認真考慮的;而過去進行時表示一種較隨便或沒有進行仔細考慮的行為。如:
I thought that he would agree with us. 我原以為它會同意我們的。
I was thinking of persuading him to follow my advice. 我想到了要說服他接受我們的建議。
