was work是什么时态

Question

如题所述

Answer 1

was working 是过去进行时的一种形式，表示在过去某个时间正在进行的动作。通常该时态由 was/were + 现在分词构成。例如：
- Yesterday at 2pm, I was working on my assignment.
- When she called me, I was working in the garden.
另外，过去进行时还可以用来描述过去某个时间正在发生的两个动作。例如：
- When I was working on my assignment, my roommate was playing video games.
相对于简单过去时（past simple）和完成过去时（past perfect）来说，过去进行时更侧重于强调过去某个时间正在进行的动作。例如：
- She was watching a movie when the power went out.
- He was cooking dinner at 7pm yesterday.
这两个例子中，过去进行时恰恰强调的是动作发生时的时间和状态，而简单过去时则更多地关注事件的结果，完成过去时则强调在过去某个时间点前已经完成的动作。
过去进行时在表述某种情况或者状态时也很常见。例如：
- He was losing weight and feeling more energetic.
- We were getting better grades in school as we studied together.
这两个例子中的过去进行时，其实是在强调协调（控制）或持续的状态，类似于 “keep doing something” 这种表达方式。因此，过去进行时在以上三种情况中都拥有自己的特点和应用场合。
