The Past Continuous Tense
The past continuous tense is used to talk about actions that were in progress at a specific point in the past. It is formed by using the past tense of the verb "to be" (was/were) and the present participle of the main verb (-ing form).
For example:
- I was studying when the phone rang.
- They were playing football when it started raining.
- She was cooking dinner while he was watching TV.
To form the past continuous tense, follow this pattern:
Subject + was/were + verb-ing
It is important to note that the past continuous tense is often used to set the scene or describe the background of a story in the past. It is also used to express interrupted actions or actions happening simultaneously in the past.
Practice using the past continuous tense by completing the following sentences:
1. When I ____________ (walk) home yesterday, it started to rain.
2. They ____________ (study) for their exams when the power went out.
3. She ____________ (read) a book while he ____________ (watch) a movie.
4. What ____________ (you/do) at 8 o'clock last night?
5. We ____________ (play) basketball when it got dark.
