    SIMPLE PAST AND PAST
    PROGRESSIVE

    The past progressive expresses


    actions that were in progress at a
    specific point in the past; this
    tense establishes background
    and sets the scene.

    Form
    The negative forms of the past
    progressive follow the rules used to
    conjugate the verb to be in the past.
    was/were + not + gerund
    To ask questions using the past
    progressive, you must invert the subject
    and the conjugated form of to be. We
    compare the affirmative form with the
    interrogative form.

    for actions in the momento
    look! They are playing music inthe
    street
    For temporary actions or situations
    Oh no, i training at the momento
