PAST CONTINUOUS www.assignmentpoint.com

SIMPLE VERB CONTINUOUS • PAST CONTINUOUS • WAS with the personal pronouns I, he, she or it (or the singular forms of nouns.) • WERE with the personal pronouns you, we, they (or the plural form of nouns.) www.assignmentpoint.com

Uses of PAST CONTINUOUS1. puts emphasis on the course of an action in the past. He wAs playing football. www.assignmentpoint.com

Uses of PAST CONTINUOUS2.two actions happening at the same time in the past. wHile she wAspreraring dinner, he was washing the dishes. www.assignmentpoint.com

Uses of PAST CONTINUOUS3. action going on at a certain time in the past. wHen I was having breakfast, the phone suddenly rang. www.assignmentpoint.com

Uses of PAST CONTINUOUS5. The action or situation had already started before this time but had not finished. wHen the phone rang, she was writing a letter. While we were having the picnic, it started to rain. www.assignmentpoint.com

Uses of PAST CONTINUOUS6. Specific Time as an interruption Last night at 6 pm, I was eating dinner. Yesterday at this time , I was sitting at my desk at work. www.assignmentpoint.com

Uses of PAST CONTINUOUS6. Atmosphere When I walked into the office, several people were busily typing, some were talking on the phone, the boss was yelling, and customers were waiting to be helped. In English we often use a series of parallel actions to describe the atmosphere at a particular time in the past. www.assignmentpoint.com

Uses of PAST CONTINUOUS7. Repetition and Irritation with “Always” he was always coming late to class. The past continuous with words such as “always” or “constantly” expresses the idea that something irritating or shocking often happened on 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.” www.assignmentpoint.com

Uses of PAST CONTINUOUS Other examples: He was constantly talking. I wish he would shut up. I don’t like them because they were always complaining. www.assignmentpoint.com

Uses of PAST CONTINUOUS7. 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” 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 tha time”. Study the examples below. They have similar meanings, but they emphasized different parts of the sentence. • I was studying when she called. • While I was studying, she called. www.assignmentpoint.com

PAST CONTINUOUS active passive While I was studying , she called. • I was studying when she called. www.assignmentpoint.com
