Past continuous presentation
The past continuous tense expresses an action that was ongoing or in progress at a specific time in the past. It is used to "set the scene" by describing background details or multiple parallel actions happening simultaneously. There are several key uses of the past continuous tense: to indicate an interrupted ongoing past action, to emphasize a specific interrupting time, to describe parallel past actions, to create an atmospheric description, or to express repetition or irritation with words like "always." Care must be taken to not use non-continuous or mixed verbs in the past continuous form.

Reported speech
Reported speech is a grammar structure used to report what someone else said in the past by changing the verb tenses and pronouns. Key changes include changing the verb tenses to past tense, changing pronouns like "I" to "she" or "he", and changing time and place words. Examples show how direct quotes become reported speech by making these pronoun, tense, time, and place changes to indicate the statement is being reported after it was said rather than being said directly.
Reported speech_Introduction
Reporting affirmative statements is a grammar used to tell someone else about a past conversation. When reporting speech, pronouns and verb tenses change. For example, "I" becomes "she" and present tenses become past tenses. Time words like "tonight" also change to reflect the past context of reported speech, becoming "that night" in the example. Verb tenses change from present to past, and sentences that were already in the past use the past perfect tense when reported.

- 1. PAST CONTINUOUS/ SIMPLE PAST
- 2. Past cotinuous • The past continuous tense expresses action at a particular moment in the past. The action started before that moment but has not finished at that moment. •When we use the past continuous tense, our listener usually knows or understands what time we are talking about. Examples: • •I was working at 10pm last night. • •They were not playing football at 9am this morning. • •What were you doing when he arrived? • •She was cooking when I telephoned her.
- 3. Past Continuous •We often use the past continuous tense to "set the scene" in stories. We use it to describe the background situation at the moment when the action begins. Often, the story starts with the past continuous tense and then moves into the simple past tense. Here is an example: • " James Bond was driving through town. It was raining. The wind was blowing hard. Nobody was walking in the streets. Suddenly, Bond saw the killer in a telephone box..."
- 4. Past Continuous Tense + Simple Past Tense •We often use the past continuous tense with the simple past tense. We use the past continuous tense to express a long action. And we use the simple past tense to express a short action that happens in the middle of the long action. We can join the two ideas with when or while.
- 5. Past Continuous Tense + Simple Past Tense •We can join these two actions with when: •I was watching TV when you telephoned. • We use: •when + short action (simple past tense) •while + long action (past continuous tense) • There are four basic combinations: I was walking past the car when it exploded. When the car exploded I was walking past it. The car exploded while I was walking past it.
