Answer 2

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.

Sentences in the past continuous form have a specified structure:

The affirmative sentence structure

subject + past tense form of verb ‘to be’ + base verb+ing

Example: She (subject)+ was (past tense form of ‘to be’)+ sing (base-verb)+ing ==> She was singing.

Negative sentence structure:

subject+ past tense form of verb ‘to be’ + not + base verb + ‘ing’

Example: She was not singing

Interrogative structure:

Past tense form of verb ‘to be’ + subject + base verb + ing + Question tag

Example: Was she singing
