過去進行形を使ってみよう

Using the Past Continuous Tense

過去進行形を使って講師と会話してみましょう。

過去進行形は「過去のどこか一時期」にしている最中だったことを表現したいときに使います。過去という時間はいくらでもありますが、どこかある時点を指して表現します。他にも「stop」といった「〜するのを止める」という表現を使う場合、過去進行形だとまだ止まりきっていません。状態を表すケースで過去進行形を使うと「〜しかけている」という意味合いが含まれるようになります。【回答例】 I was coughing all night. 私は一晩中咳をしていました The rain was stopping. 雨は止みかけているところだった
