Grammar: Past Continuous

Ex: 1 P: 78

• Ss close their books. Present the past continuous. Say: I was working yesterday afternoon. Write it on the board. Underline I was working and explain that this verb is in the past continuous. Explain that we use the past simple of the verb to be and the main verb + -ing to form the affirmative. Explain that we use this tense to talk about actions which were in progress at a specific time in the past. Say, then write on the board: I wasn't working on Saturday morning. Explain that this is the negative form of the past continuous. Give examples for all persons and elicit that we form the negative of the past continuous with subject pronoun/noun + wasn't/weren't + main verb + -ing.

Say, then write on the board: Was I working yesterday? Explain that this is the interrogative form of the past continuous. Elicit how it is formed. Tell

Ss that we answer in short form with Yes, I was./No, I wasn't
