________ (put) the spaghetti in the bath
________ (kill) the bird
________ (take) the spaghetti out of the cupboard.

2. Past Continuous
Another common past tense is the past continuous.
Form
We form it using was/were + verb + ing.
Use
A common use of the past continuous is to show that a longer action was interrupted (usually by a shorter action in the past simple). We often use the time expression when. For example:

  • I was swimming in the sea when I saw a shark.

  • Henry was sitting at home when the phone rang.

  • She was playing golf when it began to rain.

 
When two continuous actions are happening at the same time we use the time expression while.

  • was talking to Sarah while she was driving.

  • We were playing while dad was cooking dinner.

 
We can also use it to show a continuous action happening at a specific time in the past.

  • Yesterday morning I was practising the piano.

  • At 6 o’clock I was eating dinner.

  • What were you doing at 8pm last night?

 
Finally, it can be used to add some description to a story.
E.g. It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining and the birds were singing. We were walking around our favourite park.
Note we don’t usually use continuous tenses with stative verbs.
Now let’s practise!
