一般过去时典型考题：
1. —Ann is in hospital.
—Oh, really? I ______ know. I ______ go and visit her.
A. didn’t; am going to B. don’t; would C. don’t; will D. didn’t; will
解析：答案选 D。根据句意，在此之前说话人不知道安住院了，因此*空用一般过去时;说话人打算去看她，这个动作还没发生，因此第二空用一般将来时。注意be going to与will表示将来的区别：表示临时的决定，要用be going to，不用will。
2. Bob would have helped us yesterday, but he ______.
A. was busy B. is busy C. had been busy. D. will be busy
解析：答案选 A。but…引出的句子谈论的是事实，故应用陈述语气，由于是谈论昨天的情况，故用一般过去时。全句意为：鲍勃昨天是要帮助我们的，但他太忙了。
3. Excuse me. I ______ I was blocking your way.
A. didn’t realize B. don’t realize C. haven’t realized D. wasn’t realizing
解析：答案选 A。该句的谈话背景是：一个人挡住了另一个人的路，于是他说“对不起，我没有意识到我挡了你的路”。显然，当这个人说“对不起，我没有意识到……”的时候，显然他说话的时候是“意识到了”，也就是说“没有意识到”在他道歉的时候已属过去了，故要用一般过去时。
将来进行时与一般将来时的区别：
1. 两者基本用法不一样
将来进行时表示将来某时正在进行的动作，一般将来时表示将来某时将要发生的动作：
What will you be doing this time tomorrow? 明天这个时候你会在做什么呢?
What will you do tomorrow? 你明天干什么?
2. 两者均可表示将来，但用将来进行时语气更委婉，比较：
When will you finish these letters? 你什么什候处理完这些信件?(直接询问，如上司对下属)
When will you be seeing Mr White? 你什么时候见怀特先生?(委婉地询问，如下属对上司)
When will you pay back the money? 你什么时候还钱?(似乎在直接讨债)
When will you be paying back the money? 这钱你什么时候还呢?(委婉地商量)
3. 有时一般将来中的will含有“愿意”的意思，而用将来进行时则只是单纯地谈未来情况：
Mary won’t pay this bill. 玛丽不肯付这笔钱。(表意愿)
Mary won’t be paying this bill. 不会由玛丽来付钱。(单纯谈未来情况)
现在进行时表示感色彩：
现在进行时有时可表示满意、称赞、惊讶、厌恶等感情的色彩，通常与 always, forever, constantly, continually等副词连用。比较：
She’s always helping people. 她老是帮助别人。(表赞扬)
She always helps others. 他总是帮助别人。(陈述一个事实)
The boy is constantly lying. 这孩子老是撒谎。(表示厌恶)
The boy often lies. 这孩子常撒谎。(指出缺点)
