They were talking loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear the actors.I turnedround. I looked at the man and the woman angrily they did not pay any attention. Inthe end, I could not bear it. I turned round again. “I can't hear a word!”I said angrily.“It's none of your business”, the young man said rudely, “This is a privateconversation!”*本课重点语法：一般过去时、过去进行时英语的时态细分共有16种，其中较多用的为9种：第一课分析其中三种：一般现在时，一般过去时和过去进行时一般现在时是用来表示：经常、反复或是习惯性发生的动作，如I go to work at 0900 every day. 我每天9点钟上班。

某种事物目前存在的情况或状态，如There are 16 cabins available on ClassicaFeb 18 dep. 目前经典号0218航次剩余16个舱位。
表示主语的习惯、能力、职业、特征等，如Sunwen works as a sales manager in Costa, he has rich experience.有时间规律发生的事件或是不受时间限制的客观事实，如The earth movesaround the sun. 地球绕着太阳转。
5. 表示格言或警句中。

Practice makes perfect.1 / 7一般现在时的构成:一般现在时用行为动词的原形，当主语为第三人称单数时( he, she, it, name)，动词的词尾要加-S。
（一般的动词词尾+S。
以sh/ch/s/x结尾的词+es.以辅音字母Y结尾的把Y变成i，+es。
辅音字母+o结尾的+es.) 一般现在时的疑问句助动词DO或Does+主语＋动词原形＋其它成分。
如Do I look okay? 我看起来还行吗？Does she speak English? 她学英语吗？练习翻译句子克拉拉是Classica的控舱主管（两种）一般过去时表示过去某个时间发生的动作或存在的状态，通常我们讲述一件过去发生的事情会用这个时态。

同时，when表时间的同时性，玛丽在做衣服时提供事情发生的背景，因此用过去进行时。
2) As she ___ the newspaper, Granny ___ asleep.read；was falling B. was reading；fell C. was reading；was falling D. read；fell答案B.句中的as = when, while，意为当……之时。
描述一件事发生的背景时，用过去进行；一个长动作发生的时候，另一个短动作发生。
句意为在她看报纸时，奶奶睡着了。
句中的fell (fall的过去时)，是系动词，后跟形容词，如：fall sick。
4 / 7练习：写一篇短文，描述一下这周发生的事情。
要求用到今天讲的三种时态，副词形容动词。
st week I went to the theatre. 上星期我去看戏。
(1)句首的“Last week”点明叙述的事情发生的时间是上星期。
因此整篇课文的时态基本上应是过去时(包括过去进行时)，直接引语部分的时态除外。
(2)动词go的原义是离开一个地方去另一个地方，与介词to连用后，常加上主语所要去的目的地来代表主语的动作目的。
09.请注意在以下的短语中名词前通常不加冠词：go to school 上学go to bed 上床睡觉go to church 上教堂，去做礼拜(cf.第1册第68课at school, at church;第1册第85课have been to school/church)2.had a very good seat 座位很好seat一般指戏院、汽车等配置的固定座位，也可以抽象地表示“座位”或“位子”的概念：the front seat of a car 汽车的前座Take a seat, please. 请坐。
3.The play was very interesting. 戏很有意思。
interesting属于现在分词形式的形容词，意思是“使人感兴趣”。
它通常与非人称主语连用或修饰某个事物：This is an interesting book/idea.这是一本有趣的书/一个令人感兴趣的主意。
5 / 74.…were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. ……坐在我的身后，大声地说着话。
这两句的时态为过去进行时。
