Past
Continuous
Tense
The
past
continuous
(also
called
past
progressive)
is
a
verb
tense
which
is
used
to
show
that
an
ongoing
past
action
was
happening
at
a
specific
moment
of
interruption,
or
that
two
ongoing
actions
were
happening
at
the
same
time.
Past
Continuous
Forms
The
past
continuous
is
formed
using
was/were
+
present
participle.
Questions
are
indicated
by
inverting
the
subject
and
was/were.
Negatives
are
made
with
not.
Past
Continuous
Uses
USE
1
Interrupted
Action
in
the
Past
Use
the
past
continuous
to
indicate
that
a
longer
action
in
the
past
was
interrupted.
The
interruption
is
usually
a
shorter
action
in
the
simple
past.
Remember
this
can
be
a
real
interruption
or
just
an
interruption
in
time.
USE
2
Specific
Time
as
an
Interruption
In
USE
1,
described
above,
the
past
continuous
is
interrupted
by
a
shorter
action
in
the
simple
past.
However,
you
can
also
use
a
specific
time
as
an
interruption.
Examples:
Last
night
at
6
PM,
I
was
eating
dinner.
At
midnight,
we
were
still
driving
through
the
desert.
Yesterday
at
this
time,
I
was
sitting
at
my
desk
at
work.
USE
3
Parallel
Actions
When
you
use
the
past
continuous
with
two
actions
in
the
same
sentence,
it
expresses
the
idea
that
both
actions
were
happening
at
the
same
time.
The
actions
are
parallel.
Examples:
I
was
studying
while
he
was
making
dinner.
While
Ellen
was
reading,
Tim
was
watching
television.
Were
you
listening
while
he
was
talking?
I
wasn't
paying
attention
while
I
was
writing
the
letter,
so
I
made
several
mistakes.
What
were
you
doing
while
you
were
waiting?
Thomas
wasn't
working,
and
I
wasn't
working
either.
They
were
eating
dinner,
discussing
their
plans,
and
having
a
good
time.
USE
4
Atmosphere
In
English,
we
often
use
a
series
of
parallel
actions
to
describe
the
atmosphere
at
a
particular
time
in
the
past.
Example:
When
I
walked
into
the
office,
several
people
were
busily
typing,
some
were
talking
on
the
phones,
the
boss
was
yelling
directions,
and
customers
were
waiting
to
be
helped.
One
customer
was
yelling
at
a
secretary
and
waving
his
hands.
Others
were
complaining
to
each
other
about
the
bad
service.
USE
5
Repetition
and
Irritation
with
"Always"
The
past
continuous
with
words
such
as
"always"
or
"constantly"
expresses
the
idea
that
something
irritating
or
shocking
often
happened
in
the
past.
The
concept
is
very
similar
to
the
expression
used
to
but
with
negative
emotion.
Remember
to
put
the
words
"always"
or
"constantly"
between
"be"
and
"verb+ing."
Examples:
She
was
always
coming
to
class
late.
He
was
constantly
talking.
He
annoyed
everyone.
I
didn't
like
them
because
they
were
always
complaining.
Past
Continuous
Tips
While
vs.
When
Clauses
are
groups
of
words
which
have
meaning,
but
are
often
not
complete
sentences.
Some
clauses
begin
with
the
word
"when"
such
as
"when
she
called"
or
"when
it
bit
me."
Other
clauses
begin
with
"while"
such
as
"while
she
was
sleeping"
and
"while
he
was
surfing."
When
you
talk
about
things
in
the
past,
"when"
is
most
often
followed
by
the
verb
tense
simple
past,
whereas
"while"
is
usually
followed
by
past
continuous.
"While"
expresses
the
idea
of
"during
that
time."
Study
the
examples
below.
They
have
similar
meanings,
but
they
emphasize
different
parts
of
the
sentence.
Examples:
I
was
studying
when
she
called.
While
I
was
studying,
she
called.
REMEMBER
Non-Continuous
Verbs
/
Mixed
Verbs
It
is
important
to
remember
that
Non-continuous
verbs
cannot
be
used
in
any
continuous
tenses.
Also,
certain
non-continuous
meanings
for
mixed
verbs
cannot
be
used
in
continuous
tenses.
Instead
of
using
past
continuous
with
these
verbs,
you
must
use
simple
past.
Examples:
Jane
was
being
at
my
house
when
you
arrived.
Not
Correct
Jane
was
at
my
house
when
you
arrived.
