題目：

A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me.They were talking loudly.爲什麼用過去進行時?
Last week I went to the theatre.I had a very good seat.The play was very interesting.I did not enjoy it.A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me.They were talking loudly.這段英文爲新概念英語第2冊開篇部分.A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me.They were talking loudly.這兩句爲什麼要用過去進行時態呢?是作者想表達一對男女一直坐在他後面,一直持續不停的講話的意思嗎?

解答：

整個故事都是發生在過去的事情,用過去進行時表示當時正在進行的動作,突出了進行性.是作者想表達一對男女一直坐在他後面,正在一直持續不停的講話的意思,正由於此情形,引發了下文的故事情節.
