tom slipped into the house when no one was noticing这句话为什么同过去进行时?

问题描述:

tom slipped into the house when no one was noticing这句话为什么同过去进行时?
是因为when的关系吗?
那什么时候用进行时?什么时候不用?
为什么这句话不用呢?he had walked three or four miles when he saw a cart,halg-full of hay,by the side of the road.

Tom slipped into the house when no one was noticing,因为是在当时没有人看见的这个时间溜进去的,说的是这个时间的事,同时发生.也正是这个原因所以才用了When.
he had walked three or four miles when he saw a cart,是当他看见马车的时候已经走了三四公里,一前一后发生的.所以是个完成时态.
