the man ()when the thief broke into his house and killed him
为什么要填was about to have dinner,be about to 不是将来时吗?

这是个固定句型:
Sb was about to do sth when(其时,就在此时) sth happened.
就在某人要做某事时,某事发生了.
此句型强调第二分句动作的突然性.中间的when 不是从属连词“当...时候”,而是just then(就在此时),并列连词

这是描述以前发生的事 这个人在以前的某一时刻(过去式)准备做饭(将来时) 所以是was about to
