语法提问

看到句奇怪的话,大概意思是"我只是奇怪你还要多久?""I was just wondering if you were going to be much longer?"希望高人解析语法.谢谢!小弟不知其所以然....

was  doing    好像是一直以来都在做的事。是过去进行时

过去进行时
  
1） 概念：表示过去某时正在进行的状态或动作。

2） 过去进行时的主要用法是描述一件事发生的背景；一个长动作发生的时候，另一个短动作发生。

3) 常用的时间状语
this morning, the whole morning, all day yesterday, from nine to ten last evening, when, while

　　 My brother fell while he was riding his bicycle and hurt himself.　
　　 It was raining when they left the station.
　　 When I got to the top of the mountain, the sun was shining.　

谢谢两位解答,我觉得后面的一句话里不光是过去进行时还透着问将来.

这么翻译一下吧。我从始止终，哪怕是现在或者更远的以后，一直困扰我的问题就是你一直以来的想法是还将要多久？

it just means how much longer will you take to finish something
