⟩⟩ O Past Continuous é um tempo verbal da língua inglesa que usamos para falar de uma ação que estava acontecendo no passado.

⟩⟩ A estrutura básica para formar frases nesse tempo é necessário o verbo to be no passado was/were e o verbo principal da frase no gerúndio que se forma acrescentando o -ing.

      Sujeito + was/were + verbo -ing

› › I was sleeping

› › You were thinking

› › He was studying

⟩⟩ Para formar frases interrogativas colocamos was/were antes do sujeito e o verbo principal continua no gerúndio.

• Was I reading ?
• Were they eating ?
• Was he sleeping ?

⟩⟩ Para formar frases negativas acrescenta-se o not após was/were e o verbo principal continua no gerúndio.

• I was not reading
• We were not cleaning
• He was not studying
