How are you ?
Today, we will continue talking about the past tense, but now, we are going to be looking at the past continuous!!!
The past continuous is used in different situations.
1. A past event or action that was going on at a certain point in time in the past.
What's important to note is that when using this tense, we are focusing on time or duration, not on the action itself!
Example:
Yesterday in the afternoon, I was watching a movie on TV.
2. Two events that were happening at the same time.
Example:
Last Friday, I was cooking dinner and my mom was cleaning the house.
3. An event that was happening and was interrupted by another. (Simple Past vs. Past Continuous)
The event that was happening is conjugated in Past Continuous, and the event that interrupted is conjugated in Simple Past.
Examples:
Two days ago, I was doing my homework when my dad asked me to help him.
My cousing were playing football, when my uncle brought them some drinks.
Conjugation
Practice time!
Well, that's it for today! See you next time!
