Answer:
The past continuous or the past progressive tense is used to tell about some action happening at some time in the past. The time of happening of the action/event may or may not be specified.
Any temporary action, and/or an incomplete action happening in the past is expressed in the past continuous tense.
The verb in the past continuous tense is made of two parts:
The past tense form of verb ‘to be’ – was/were
‘ing’ form of the base verb.
