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.

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.

The wind was blowing hard. Nobody was walking in the streets. Suddenly, Bond saw the killer in a telephone box..."
