    He wrote his composition last night。 他昨晚写了一篇作文。（已经写完)
2.表示过去的状态、感觉及心理活动的静态动词（如be， like, love, hate, fear， own， hear， see， know, want， notice）可用于一般过去时,但通常不用于进行时.如：
    I hated it when a man spoke with his mouth full of food. 我讨厌人们说话时口里含着食物
3。一般过去时与always, constantly, forever， continually等连用，表示“过去经常性、习惯性的动作”；而过去进行时与always, constantly， forever, continually等连用，表示动作的重复，常带有感情色彩.如:
He always got up at six. 他过去总是六点起床。
He was always thinking of his work。 他总是一心想到工作。
4. 有时过去进行时可以用来替换一般过去时，但一般过去时表示主语的行为是经过认真考虑的；而过去进行时表示一种较随便或没有进行仔细考虑的行为。如：

I was thinking of persuading him to follow my advice。 我想到了要说服他接受我们的建议.

While we were having supper， the light went out。 我们正在吃饭时灯熄灭了。
2。 when用作并列连词时，主句常用进行时态，从句则用一般过去时,表示主句动作发生的过程中,另一个意想不到的动作发生了.如:
I was walking in the street when someone called me. 我正在街上走时突然有人喊我。
3. when作并列连词，表示“(这时）突然"之意时，第一个并列分句用过去进行时，when引导的并列分句用一般过去时。如：

We were playing outside when it began to rain. 我们正在外边玩,这时下起雨来了.
4。 go, come， leave， start, arrive等动词可用过去进行时表示过去将来的含义。如:
