Answer:

The past continuous tense, also known as the past progressive tense, refers to a continuing action or state that was happening at some point in the past. The past continuous tense is formed by combining the past tense of to be (i.e., was/were) with the verb’s present participle (-ing word).

Ex: The sun was shining every day that summer.

It can also be used to describe something that was happening continuously in the past when another action interrupted it.

Ex: The audience was applauding until he fell off the stage.
