Quando usar o “Past Continuous”?


O “Past Continuous” pode ocorrer em várias situações. Ele é usado para expressar duas ou
mais ações que acontecem ao mesmo tempo no passado ou então para expressar uma ação
contínua no passado, que já estava acontecendo, quando outra mais pontual ocorreu.

É importante ressaltar que por ser um tempo contínuo, ele é usado quando o foco da frase está
no processo e não na conclusão da ação.
