Past Continuous

Hoe werkt de Past Simple ook al weer?

Doel

Aan het eind van de les weet ik hoe de past continuous werkt.

Wat?

De past continuous is de verleden tijd met een duurvorm.

Dat betekent dat er een activiteit in het verleden plaatsvond, een poosje heeft aangehouden en toen is gestopt.

Hoe?

Je maakt de past continuous door een vorm van to be (in de verleden tijd) toe te voegen en de het werkwoord + ing.

Dus: was/were + ww+ ing

I was walking. You were running. He was studying. We were hiding.

Verschil

Het verschil met de past simple is dus de duur. De past continuous is laaaaang en de past simple is kort.

Je kan ze samen in 1 zin gebruiken waar de past simple de past continuous onderbreekt.

I was showering when the phone rang.

We were swimming for a while when we saw  a dolphin.
