Past Continuous

De Past Continuous ('ing- vorm') gebruik je:

- als de handeling in de verleden tijd aan de gang was en op een bepaald moment door een andere handeling werd onderbroken;

Voorbeeld: I was screaming while we hit a roadsign

Je maakt deze door was/were + ww+ ing

Voorbeeld: While I was watching TV, I was also preparing my lunch.
