Past Continuous Tense

• Past continuous tense refers to the action that was happening constantly at a particular time in the past.

• The past continuous form of shine is 'was shining.'

• It indicates that the sun was already shining when we got up. Thus, this tense is used.

• We cannot use the simple past tense 'shone' in this sentence because it would seem that the sun shone as soon as we woke up. The sun does not depend upon humans. Thus, it is not used.
