7.3 The Past Continuous -- Form
7.3 Review of verb tenses
So far, we have studied the simple present tense, the present progressive and the
simple past. Now we are going to learn the past progressive.
Simple present I study, she studies, you study, we study, they study
Present progressive I am studying, she is studying, you are studying, we are
studying, they are studying
Simple past I studied, she studied, you studied, we studied, they studied
Past progressive I was studying, she was studying, you were studying, we were
studying, they were studying
7.3 The Past Continuous -- Form
To form the past continuous, we use was or were + the present participle ( --ing)
form of the verb.
Subject Was/Were (+ not) Present Participle
I was reading about refugees.
Henri was working in a hospital.
You were asking about Rwanda.
They were not living in Rwanda.
7.3 The Past Continuous -- Form
Language Notes:
1. The contraction for was not is wasn’t. The contraction for were not is weren’t.
2. We can put an adverb between was/were and the present participle.
