1、The plane was late anddetectives were waiting at the airport all morning.
all一般直接加表示時(shí)間的單數(shù)名詞構(gòu)成副詞短語(yǔ),如:all day,all night,all week,all winter,all year等。但不說(shuō)all hour。
whole在表達(dá)同樣的意思時(shí)一般要加冠詞或數(shù)詞,如a whole day/year,two whole weeks。
detectives 沒(méi)有強(qiáng)調(diào)一些偵探或者那些偵探, 強(qiáng)調(diào)偵探這種人,籠統(tǒng)感念, 可不加some, the

3、When the plane arrived, someof the detectives were waiting inside the main building while others werewaiting on the airfield.

Somestudents are very hard-working, others are not.

語(yǔ)法分析
過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)
過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)的構(gòu)成:be的過(guò)去式+現(xiàn)在分詞
過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)和一般過(guò)去時(shí)經(jīng)常同在一個(gè)句子里使用。過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)表示過(guò)去正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作或情況,一般過(guò)去時(shí)則表示比較短暫的動(dòng)作或事件。正在進(jìn)行中的動(dòng)作或情況往往由連詞when,while,as,just as等引導(dǎo)。
when,while 當(dāng)……時(shí)候(強(qiáng)調(diào)動(dòng)作同時(shí)發(fā)生)
while+從句, 動(dòng)詞一定是延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞
when+延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞/瞬間動(dòng)詞
while能用when代替,但是when卻不一定能用while代替。while通常只引導(dǎo)持續(xù)時(shí)間較長(zhǎng)的動(dòng)作,并且主句和從句可以同時(shí)用過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí),而when和as一般不這么用。
John was watchingTV while his wife was talking with a neighbour over the phone.
Just as I wasleaving the house, you came in.
when也可引導(dǎo)較短暫的動(dòng)作,while和as一般不行。
We were havingsupper when the lights went out.
過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)往往與表示一段時(shí)間的狀語(yǔ)連用,如all morning,allnight,all day,all evening,the whole week等,表示這段時(shí)間一直在干什么。
What were youdoing all evening? I couldn’t find you anywhere.
過(guò)去動(dòng)作同時(shí)發(fā)生的時(shí)態(tài)
① 過(guò)去兩個(gè)動(dòng)作同時(shí)發(fā)生, 習(xí)慣上一個(gè)用一般過(guò)去時(shí), 另一個(gè)用過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí);動(dòng)作長(zhǎng)用過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí), 動(dòng)作短用一般過(guò)去時(shí); 分工的情況, 動(dòng)作的開(kāi)始時(shí)間和結(jié)束時(shí)間幾乎相同, 均用過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí);
I was listening tothe radio, my sister was dancing.
When my mother wasdoing the housework, my father was watching TV.
② 兩個(gè)動(dòng)作在同時(shí)段進(jìn)行, 在不同時(shí)間結(jié)束, 先發(fā)生的動(dòng)作未結(jié)束, 另一個(gè)動(dòng)作發(fā)生, 先發(fā)生的動(dòng)作用進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài), 另一個(gè)動(dòng)作用過(guò)去時(shí).
When I was openingthe door, the telephone rang.先開(kāi)門(mén)/When the telephone wasringing, I opened the door. 電話先響
③ 瞬間動(dòng)詞(如:arrive)沒(méi)有進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài), 所以兩個(gè)動(dòng)作同時(shí)發(fā)生, 延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞用進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài), 瞬間動(dòng)詞使用過(guò)去時(shí)態(tài).
When he arrived, Iwas having dinner.
I am arriving 進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)表示將要
難點(diǎn)
短語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞中的小品詞
許多動(dòng)詞加上介詞或副詞后就會(huì)改變?cè)~義,這些介詞和副詞通常被稱為小品詞。它們沒(méi)有詞形的變化。有些小品詞既可以作介詞又可以作副詞。判斷一個(gè)小品詞是副詞還是介詞要看小品詞有沒(méi)有帶賓語(yǔ)。有賓語(yǔ)的是介詞,沒(méi)有賓語(yǔ)的是副詞,介詞的位置相對(duì)固定,不能變動(dòng)。
① vi.&vt.+prep./adv.+賓語(yǔ)(n.)
She is walking upthe hill.
② vt.+賓語(yǔ)(n./pron.)+adv.
take off the coat=take the coat off =take it off
put on your shoes=put your shoes on =put them on
