GRAMMAR
Past Continuous
Why do we use the past continuous?
The past continuous (also known as the past progressive) is used to describe what we were doing a specific point in the past.
compare these two sentences:
'I played golf yesterday.' = (past simple) the action of playing golf is more important than the time it was happening.
'I was playing golf at 2pm.' = (past continuous) what was happening at that specific time is important. We do not know when the action started , or when it finished.
How to make the past continuous
Was/were + ing verb is the past continuous. Take a look at some past continuous example sentences:
'I was taking a bath at midnight.'
'Tom was walking his dog at 6am.'
'They were watching the news when I called.'
'Tom was walking his dog at 6am.'
'They were watching the news when I called.'
