完了。 　　I was writing an essay. 我在写一篇论文。(可能还没写完) 　　I wrote an essay yesterday. 我昨天写了一篇论文。(已写完) 　　They were building a skyscraper. 他们在建一座摩天大楼。(在修建) 　　They built a skyscraper. 他们盖了一座摩天大楼。(已盖好) 2)有些动词本身并不表示动作完成，如 rain, snow, cough, wear, feel, wait, stay, work等，这时用两种时态意思上差别不大： 　　It snowed all night. 下了一整夜的雪。 　　It was snowing all night. 　　She wore a blue coat. 她穿着一件蓝外套。 　　She was wearing a blue coat. 　　He felt a bit uneasy. 他感到有点不自在。 　　He was feeling a bit uneasy. 　　We stayed in a hotel. 我们住在旅馆里。 　　We were staying in a hotel. 3)用进行时态有时有感情色彩，特别是带有always, forever, constantly这类状语时，如： 　　He was always ringing up. 他总是给我打电话。(厌烦) 　　She was always working. 她总是不停地干活。(赞扬) 　　The old lady was forever grumbling. 这老太太老是嘀嘀咕咕。(厌烦) 　　He was constantly changing his mind. 他总是改变主意。(不以为然) 4)有时用进过去进行时和一般过去时的基本差别是，过去进行时表示一个正在进行的动作，而一般过去时表示一行时表示现在的想法，可以显得客气一点，如： 　　I was wondering whether you could give me some advice. 不知你能否帮我出点主意。 　　I was thinking maybe he could go by taxi. 我在想或许他可以坐的士去。 　　I was hoping you could reconsider our proposal. 我希望你能再考虑一下我们的建议。
