    The document discusses the progressive tense in three sentences: 1) The progressive tense, also called the present continuous tense or present progressive tense, is used to express an action that is taking place now or plans in the future. 2) The simple past progressive tense, also called the past continuous tense, uses the auxiliary verbs "was" and "were" before the present participle ending in "-ing" to talk about an activity that was occurring during a certain period in the past. 3) The simple past progressive tense can also show that a short duration event occurred while a long duration event was taking place in the past, or show repeated events or habits in the past.
