Past continuous

Past continuous veya past progressive, İngilizcedeki sürekli zaman yapılarından biri. Geçmişte belirsiz bir süre boyunca gerçekleşmiş olay ve durumlardan bahsederken kullanılır. Standart olumlu bir cümle kuruluşu şu şekildedir:

Subject + was/were + present participle

My head was aching.
The children were doing their homework when I got home.

Olumsuz cümle kuruluşunda yardımcı fiilden sonra "not" zarfı eklenir:

I was not talking about you. (Wasn't şeklinde kısaltılabilir.)

Standart bir soru cümlesinde yardımcı fiil cümle başına gelir:

Were you cooking when I called last night?

"Present perfect continuous" ile karşılaştırma

Eğer eylemin ne kadar zamandır devam ettiği belirtilmek isteniyorsa present perfect continuous kullanılır:

I have been watching television for two hours. (present perfect continuous)
I was watching television when you called. (Eylemin süresi önemli değil.)
