    English IV: Past Continuous

    Past Continuous - Questions


    REMEMBER! The past continuous of any verb is composed of two parts: the past tense
    of the verb "to be" (was/were), and the base of the main verb +ing.

    In the past continuous, the verb ‘to be’ functions as the auxiliary for questions.

    Look at these examples:

    Auxiliary Subject base + ing Complement?

    Was she eating seafood yesterday?

    Were they going to the cinema last


    night?
    Yes/No questions should be answered with short expressions.
