Краткая заметка по Past Continuous. Оно указывает на процесс, длившийся в определенный момент или период в прошлом. Крайне легко образуется.

Нужен вспомогательный глагол to be в прошедшем времени (was или were, но тут всё зависит от подлежащего. Если это I/She/He/It - was, если We/They/You - were) и причастие настоящего времени (Participle I) (т. е. V+ing. Если закрытый слог, то удваиваем букву в конце. Например, he was siTTing). Если будут вопросы, то пишите.
