<例句>

<語法分析>
過去進(jìn)行時(shí)主要表示過去某時(shí)的一個(gè)動(dòng)作正在進(jìn)行，而過去的時(shí)間可以由一個(gè)狀語表示出來，有時(shí)候時(shí)間由上下文表示出來。過去進(jìn)行時(shí)既具有一般過去時(shí)的特點(diǎn)，又具有進(jìn)行時(shí)的特點(diǎn)。過去進(jìn)行時(shí)與一般過去時(shí)的基本差別是，前者表示一個(gè)正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作，而后者則表示一個(gè)已經(jīng)完成的動(dòng)作。而且，用進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)時(shí)有時(shí)有感情色彩。
