GRAMMAR FOCUS: THE PAST CONTINUOUS

48 Read, translate and remember.

We use the past continuous to say that someone was in the middle of doing something at a certain time:

Andrew and Mike were at home yesterday evening. —

Эндрю и Майк были дома вчера вечером.

At 7 pm the friends were doing their project. —

В 7 часов друзья работали над своим проектом.

(They started at 6 pm and finished at 8.30 pm. So, at 7 pm they were doing their project.)

We use the past simple and the past continuous to say that something happened in the middle of another event:

When his mother came into the room, Neil was writing an essay. —

Когда мама вошла в комнату, Нил писал сочинение.

Sophie met Duncan while she was travelling in Italy. —

Софи встретила Данкана, когда она путешествовала по Италии.

Ответ:

The Past Continuous tense is used for actions that were happening at a specific moment in the past. It is formed using was/were + the -ing form of the verb.

We use it in two main cases:

1. To describe an action in progress at a specific time in the past.

Example: At 7 pm yesterday, I was doing my homework.

2. To describe a longer background action that was interrupted by a shorter action (in Past Simple).

Example: I was reading a book when my friend called.

Время Past Continuous используется для действий, которые происходили в определенный момент в прошлом. Оно образуется с помощью was/were + глагол с окончанием -ing.

Мы используем его в двух основных случаях:

1. Для описания действия, которое было в процессе в определенное время в прошлом.

Пример: Вчера в 7 вечера я делал домашнее задание.

2. Для описания более длительного фонового действия, которое было прервано более коротким действием (в Past Simple).

Пример: Я читал книгу, когда позвонил мой друг.
