The example of Past tense in a text/paragraph
One day my uncle told me about his childhood. When he was ten years old, he liked to
climb a mango tree. He usually climbed the tree with some friends. Then they picked
some mangoes without permission. Yap, they liked to steal mangoes. They frequently
ate mangoes on the tree. They had prepared a fruit peeler and a plastic bag for the
garbage. What a good preparation! They didn’t want to throw the garbage
everywhere. They kept the environment clean. That’s a good point. But stealing fruits
is a bad point.
Past Continuous

The definition of Past Continuous Tense
• Last night at 6 pm, my family and I were cooking dinner together.
Keterangan waktu kalimat di atas adalah jam 6, dengan adanya keterangan waktu maka periode
terjadinya peristiwa menjadi jelas. Jika keterangan waktu yang ditulis hanya last night, maka
periode waktunya tidak jelas. Jadi, jika ingin menggunakan past continuous tense, maka harus
menuliskan keterangan waktu dengan spesifik.
Past continuous tense juga digunakan untuk membandingkan dua kejadian yang terjadi di masa
lalu. Contoh kalimatnya seperti berikut:
• When I was finishing a project, the rain fell.
(Kegiatan yang sedang berlangsung adalah menyelesaikan sebuah tugas projek. Hujan mulai turun
ketika di tengah-tengah menyelesaikan tugas projek)
• When I finished a project, the rain was falling.
(Pada kalimat ini yang sedang berlangsung adalah hujan. Artinya, hujan sudah turun dan masih
hujan ketika subjek mengerjakan tugas projeknya)
The forms of Past Continuous Tense

• My mother and I were shopping groceries yesterday at 2 pm
Negative Sentence
= Subject + be (was/were) + not + Verb-ing + Object
• Arya was not practicing football two weeks ago
Interrogative Sentence
= Be (was/were) + subject + verb-ing + object?
• Were you dancing on the stage last night at 9 pm?
Was: I, she, he, it
