The past continuous tense describes actions happening over time in the past, often interrupted by another event. We form it using "was" or "were" along with a verb ending in "-ing". For instance, "I was sitting in the park when someone hit me with a ball." This tense is crucial for depicting ongoing activities. It's important to remember that it applies only to long-duration actions. For example, "Thomas was watching TV when somebody called." This guide will help you grasp the nuances of using the past continuous tense effectively.
