The document discusses the past continuous (also called the past progressive) tense in English. It provides examples of its use in the positive, question, and negative forms. The past continuous is used to describe actions that were ongoing or in progress at a specific time in the past. It can be used to indicate interrupted actions, parallel actions happening at the same time, setting an atmosphere, and repetition or irritation with words like "always." Certain verbs like verbs of senses or emotions cannot be used in the past continuous.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

4. 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.

5. Examples:
I was watching TV when she called.
When the phone rang, she was writing a letter.
While we were having the picnic, it started to rain.
What were you doing when the earthquake started?
I was listening to my iPod, so I didn't hear the fire alarm.
You were not listening to me when I told you to turn the oven off.
While John was sleeping last night, someone stole his car.
Sammy was waiting for us when we got off the plane.
While I was writing the email, the computer suddenly went off.
A: What were you doing when you broke your leg?
B: I was snowboarding.

6. 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.

Future
7. 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.
IMPORTANT!
In the Simple Past, a specific time is used
to show when an action began or finished.
In the Past Continuous, a specific time
only interrupts the action.
Examples:
Last night at 6 PM, I ate dinner.
I started eating at 6 PM.
Last night at 6 PM, I was eating dinner.
I started earlier; and at 6 PM, I was in the process of eating dinner.

8. 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.

Future
9. 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.
Page 9
10. 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.
Page 10
11. 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."

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. 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. Correct
