Past Continuous: Talk About Ongoing Actions in the Past

Form it by combining “was/were” with the verb’s -ing form (e.g., “I was reading” or “They were playing”). This tense helps you set the scene in stories or explain background actions interrupted by another event.

Learning the Past Continuous allows you to describe ongoing actions, events, or situations in the past, adding more context and detail to your communication.
