例:1 I watching (watch) TV when he came in.
2 They were play (play) games at 5:00 . 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。

二、对动词或动词词组提问时丢掉doing
例:We were flying kites at 5:00 . yesterday. (对划线部分提问)
What were you at 5:00 . yesterday?

解析:现在进行时中“What……doing……”?句式同样适用于过去进行时。
过去进行时选择题:
1、Mary ___ a dress when she cut her finger.
A. made B. is making C. was making D. makes
答案C. 割伤手指是已发生的事情,应用过去时.同 时,when表时间的同时性,"玛丽在做衣服时"提供事情发生的背景,因此用过去进行时.
2、As she ___ the newspaper, Granny ___ asleep.
A. read; was falling B. was reading; fell C. was reading; was falling D. read;fell
答案B.句中的as = when, while,意为"当……之时".描述一件事发生的背景时,用过去进行;一个长动作发生的时候,另一个短动作发生.句意为 "在她看报纸时,奶奶睡着了."句中的 fell (fall的过去时),是系动词,后跟形容词,如:fall sick.
3、Tom ___ into the house when no one ___ .
A. slipped, was looking B. Had slipped, looked
C. slipped, had looked D. was slipping, looked
答案A分析此题先要理解好when ，表“此时”，说明主句中slipped是较短行为，而look是较长行为的片断，即汤姆溜进房子，此时没人瞧见，故选A为正确。
4、The student ______ to move the bag of rice _______ he heard the sound of a motorbike .
A was running... when B. was running ... while C. runs ... when D. ran ... while
答案A be(was, were ) + when .....表示when后面的动作突然发生。其实when在这里是并列连词， 而非从属连词。
5、—Is there anything wrong ，Bob?you look sad。 —Oh，nothing much. In fact ，I____ of my friend back home。
A、have just thought B、was just thinking C、would just thinking D、will just be thinking
