Past Continuous.
The past continuous is used to describe actions that were in progress at the time-to the past to which we refer and continued after that time:

This morning at 8 o'clock she was reading

A las 8 de la maana ella estaba leyendo: la accin de leer haba comenzado antes de las ocho y continu despus de este instante.

Last Monday he was traveling El pasado lunes, l estaba viajando: la accin de viajar comenz antes del lunes y continu despus. In Castilian equivalent to past continuous (she was reading), or you can translate the past tense (she read). The past continuous is also used to refer to two actions in the past, one of which was completed, while the other continued: the first is used for the "past simple" and the second the "past continous": When he arrived, I was watching TV. Cuando l lleg, yo estaba viendo al tele: la accin de ver la tele haba comenzado antes de que l llegara, y continu despus. Mientras ella escuchaba msica, su hermano hizo sus deberes: la accin de or msica tena ya lugar antes de que el hermano comenzara sus deberes, y continu una vez que el hermano haba terminado.

While she was listening to music, her brother did his homework.

While in the "past simple" indicates that the action is over, in the "past continuous" we do not know if the action has been completed:

She wrote a letter. She was writing a letter.

Ella escribi una carta: la carta est escrita, la accin ya ha finalizado. Ella estaba escribiendo una carta: no sabemos si lleg a terminar de escribir la carta.

The "past continuous" is formed with the auxiliary verb "to be" in the past and the gerund form (present participle) of the main verb: She was playing tennis. They were traveling. Ella estaba jugando al tenis Ellos estaban viajando

Affirmative form.
We form the past continuous with the past simple of the verb tube + the marn verb ending ing. Affirmative I was eating. You were eating. He was eating. She was eating. It was eating. We were eating. You were eating They were eating in-

Negative form.
The negative is formed with the particle "not" after the auxiliary verb. Negative Contracted form

Full form

I was not eating. You were not eating. He was not eating. She was not eating. It was not eating. We were not eating. You were not eating. They were not eating.

I wasnt eating. You werent eating. He wasnt eating. She wasnt eating. It wasnt eating. We werent eating. You werent eating They werent eating.

Interrogative form.
The interrogative form the auxiliary verb at the beginning of the sentence, followed by the subject and the main verb.

Interrogative Was I eating? Were you eating? Was he eating? Was she eating ? Was it eating? Were we eating? Were you eating? Were they eating? The gerund (present participle) the infinitive is formed by adding the suffix "-ing", with some peculiarities that we will see in the next lesson: To listen To read Listening Reading
