過去進行形 (能動態と受動態)

過去進行形の能動態と受動態

過去進行形としても知られる過去進行形では、特定の時間に過去に起こっていた行動について話します。

When to use the active voice in Past continuous tense?

過去進行形能動態は、過去にその行動をしていた人に焦点を当てたい場合に使用します。行動の加害者に焦点を当てて話したいときは、能動態で文を書きます。

Structure: Subject + was/were + V1+ing + object

Examples:

• 昨日はメガのトレーニングをしていました
• サムはクラスで話していました。
• ジョンは朝、あなたの自転車に乗っていました。
• 私がそこに着いたとき、彼らはクリケットをしていました。
• あなたがいない間、私たちは何もしていませんでした.
• 男の子たちは昨夜、料理をしていました。

過去進行形で受動態を使用するのはいつですか?

過去の継続受動態は、過去にアクションを受け取っていた人や物に焦点を当てたい場合に使用されます。演じていたということです。行為の受け手（動詞の目的語）が行為者自身よりも重要な場合は、文を過去進行形の受動態で書きます。

Structure: Object+ was/were + being + V3 + (by + subject)

Past continuous tense passive voice examples:

• 生徒たちは(彼によって)奇妙な方法で教えられていました.
• その試合は巨大なスタジアムで行われていました.
• 私はその会社に投資するように言われていました.
• あの連中は昨夜、ひどく殴られていました.

注: 受動態のアクションの作成者は言及されていないか、括弧で区切られています。これは重要性が低いか、受動態で既に理解されているためです。ただし、必要に応じて、いつでもサブジェクト (実行者) を追加できます。
