Утворення Past Continuous

Past Continuous — складний час, який утворюється з допоміжного дієслова to be в Past Indefinite і дієприкметника теперішнього часу (Present Participle) відмінюваного дієслова.

Past Continuous вживається для вираження дії, що тривала в певний період часу, в момент у минулому. Цей момент позначається: обставинними   словами at 6 o'clock yester-day — о 6 годині, вчора, at that moment — у той момент або підрядним ре­ченням з дієсловом-присудком у Past Simple (In­definite).

I was reading at that moment. Я читав у той момент. We were playing chess when our mothercame.  Ми грали у шахи, коли увійшла наша мати.
