過年結束來回歸正習拉，讀完後文末有作業，留言區繳交的人都會被批改，加油！ Let’s kick things off with the explanation to “continuous vs. simple” tense. 過去一個月我們看了五種應用方法， 顯示「進行 vs 簡單」是共存且互相襯托的時態。 EP1：兩個動作一起進行 ⤷ I was taking a shower while he was watching the TV. EP2：描述故事的場景 ⤷ People were walking around the park and the winds were strong. EP3：事件Ａ進行中但被事件Ｂ干擾 ⤷ While my girlfriend was playing the video games, the door bell rang. EP4：過去特定一個時間點持續的動作 ⤷ I was washing my hands. EP5：過去暫時的狀態 ⤷ My family and I were living in Taoyuan when I was a student. 結論： 📌 進行式：持續的、被放大、放慢的動作，如電影的慢動作畫面（slow mo），即使此動作可能只花一秒的時間。可以用來描述一個場景、背景或狀態，如電影的開場畫面（opening scene）。常常跟「while」連用。 📌 簡單式：被縮小、發生且結束、突然、瞬間的，常用在接二連三的一串動作。 📌 兩時態可以一起使用（EP3），也可單獨存在（如EP4），同一個句子也可以疊用同一個時態（如EP1）。 更多情境例句： ✿ 皆二連三：I woke up, brushed my teeth and went out the door. （我起床、刷牙後就出門。） ✿ 同時一起發生且沒有結束：While I was talking on the phone, I was walking my dog. （我講電話的時候在遛狗。） ✿ 背景場景：It was snowy but the sun was shining. （有下雪但是太陽很大。） ✿ 過去暫時狀態：I was singing in bars in my 20s. （我20幾歲的時候都在酒吧唱歌。） ✿ 進行中的動作被干擾：I was reading a book when my dog got up and ran to the door. （當我在看書的時候，我的狗突然起來跑去門邊。） ✿ 當下發生且結束：I met Amy in 2015. - ✏️ 作業：根據上述的應用方法，結合以下動詞造句 ⤷ walk, rain, watch, find, see, look for, ride, drive, sit 我會在留言區直接批改，有問題直接丟過來 ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

Hi everyone, I'm Savannah. My job is as an outdoor activity customer service, which mainly involves helping people understand the differences between various activities and processing bookings, that's my daily routine.

Hello everyone! My name is Ru, and I have been Teacher Bannai’s student for a couple of years. Always trying to enhance my English skills so I could feel more comfortable while communicating with others, even conducting a speech on the stage. I work at space sector, responsible for policy and law, which seems boring (sometimes actually boring), but always important. Thanks Teacher Bannai for establishing this English learning platform. I am so looking forward to strengthening my English skills as well as knowledge with classmates here!
