English book I 1-dars. Ingliz alifbosi

19-dars. Past continuous - Davomiy o'tgan zamon

O'tgan zamonda davom etayotgan ish harakatini bildirish uchun 17-darsdagi was/were fe'llaridan foydalanib, ish-harakatni bildiruvchi so'zga davomiy hozirgi zamon qo'shimchasi "ing" qo'yamiz. Davomiy hozirgi zamonda "I am sitting" (men o'tiribman) bo'lsa, davomiy o'tgan zamonda "I was sitting" (men o'tirgan edim) bo'ladi. Ya'ni, hodisa o'tgan zamonda davom etayotganini tushunamiz.

I am watching TV - Men televizor ko'ryapman.

I watches TV - Men odatda televizor ko'raman.

I watched TV - Men televizor ko'rdim

I was watching TV - Men televizor ko'rayotgan edim.

Savol berish uchun avvalgi darsdagi kabi, was/were egadan oldinga o'tadi:

Was he playing? - U o'ynayotgan edimi?

Javob berish uchun ham avvalgi darsdagidek "Yes, I was" yoki "No, I wasn't" kabi qisqa javob berish mumkin.
