1)過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)和一般過(guò)去時(shí)的基本差別是，過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)表示一個(gè)正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作，而一般過(guò)去時(shí)表示一個(gè)業(yè)已完成的動(dòng)作。試比較下面的句子：

2)有些動(dòng)詞本身并不表示動(dòng)作完成，如 rain, snow, cough, wear, feel, wait, stay, work等，這時(shí)用兩種時(shí)態(tài)意思上差別不大：

It snowed all night. 下了一整夜的雪。

It was snowing all night.

She was wearing a blue coat.

He felt a bit uneasy. 他感到有點(diǎn)不自在。

He was feeling a bit uneasy.

We stayed in a hotel. 我們住在旅館里。

We were staying in a hotel.

3)用進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)有時(shí)有感情色彩，特別是帶有always, forever, constantly這類(lèi)狀語(yǔ)時(shí)，如：

He was always ringing up. 他總是給我打電話(huà)。(厭煩)

She was always working. 她總是不停地干活。(贊揚(yáng))

The old lady was forever grumbling. 這老太太老是嘀嘀咕咕。(厭煩)

He was constantly changing his mind. 他總是改變主意。(不以為然)

4)有時(shí)用進(jìn)行時(shí)表示現(xiàn)在的想法，可以顯得客氣一點(diǎn)，如：

I was wondering whether you could give me some advice. 不知你能否幫我出點(diǎn)主意。
