问题描述:

On a snowy evening,a rich lady was standing by the road.She was very worried.Her car had broken down.Just then a poor man named Robert came.He was on his way back home from work as usual.
  The lady wondered,“Is the man going to help me?He looks very cold and hungry.” But to her surprise,he stopped and said with a smile,“What’s wrong,madam?” ▶The lady told him what was happening.◀
  After forty minutes,the car was at last fixed by Robert.The lady wanted to pay him.
……
谁能给我讲讲上面那句为什么用was happening吗,是过去进行时,还是其他原因?它的意思是“发生了什么”,难道是用进行表示过去?
是一道初三题,全班都做错了,也没人能讲明白.真的很疑惑,有谁知道吗,
车抛锚这件事不是已经过去了吗,为什么不用过去而要用进行时,我主要疑惑这点!

这句句型是过去进行时.过去进行时表示在过去某一时刻或某一段时间内进行或发生的动作.其形式为was /were + V-ing.常与表示过去的时间状语连用.这句话的翻译是“这个女人告诉他发生了什么”.表示车处于抛锚的状态.能再详细点解释吗,我知道过去进行时的用法,能否再就这个题跟我细剖点? 谢谢。根据语境来看,是罗伯特问这个女士发生了什么,然后这个女士就告诉他发生了什么事。表示说过去持续的这段时间车子都是一直处于抛锚的状态,就是说这之前的一段时间发生的事就是车子抛锚了并且一直持续到现在,并没有被修好。你确定吗?这样的话……那我就明白了。真的很感谢你。确定。 没事,能帮到你就好。
