Минало продължително време (Past Continuous)
Минало продължително време (Past Continuous) показва действие, което е било в ход в определен момент в миналото. То отговаря на въпроса какво сме правили точно тогава, например at 8 o'clock last night. Образува се с was или were и глагол с окончание -ing. Често го използваме за описание на фона в разказ: какво е ставало, когато се е случило нещо.
Какво да запомним
- Образуване: was/were + глагол с -ing (I was reading, they were playing).
- was за I, he, she, it; were за you, we, they.
- Отрицание: wasn't / weren't + -ing; въпрос: Was she...? Were you...?
- Правопис: swim → swimming, write → writing, run → running.
- Глаголи за състояние (know, like, want) обикновено не се използват в продължителна форма.
