One of the main sections of English grammar is "Past a long time," or, as it is often called in the native language, Past Continuous.Terms practical application of this simple time, and they will be easier to learn by example.The article will be given below deals in which sounds often this form of the elapsed time.On the basis of these you can see that it is quite common.
when we use this time?
Most often, to tell you about some lasting effect, which took its place in the past, it used Past Continuous.Terms of use of this time are based on the fact that someone is doing something (playing, walking, searching, waiting, etc.), but there is no information that the action has been completed.As an example, the following sentence: When you came, I was taking a lesson .- "When you came, I was in the classroom."Similarly, you can say "I played guitar," "I painted", "I swam" and much more.
simple sentences
now a little deeper into the very grammar of Time Past Continuous.The rules of construction proposals based on the use of the keyword - verb
He was looking for something intresting. - He was looking for something interesting.
You were playing the flute. - You played the flute.
We were smocking. - We smoked.
Ask a question in the Past Continuous
Now go to the construction of interrogative sentences in the Past Continuous.The rule is that you need the most auxiliary to be make in the first place, and then just put to him all the other words:
Was he looking for something intresting ?- He was looking for something interesting?
Were you playing the flute ?- You played the flute?
If you need something to refute
negative form of this time is built the same way as positive only after a verb to be now appears denial not , which can be reduced as follows:
He was not (was not) looking for something intresting. - He was not looking for anything interesting.
You were not (were not) play the flute. - You're not playing the flute.Other
long time English
more complex, but still quite frequently used time in the English language is the Past Perfect Continuous.Terms of the practical application of this temporary form are as follows: described by one point from the past, which ended to another time, or has not ended.For example, consider these suggestions here:
I have been waiting bus for over an hour, and then called taxi. - I was waiting for the bus for an hour and then called a taxi.
build sentences by combining verbs have and to be , where the latter is pronounced in the third form - been .Thus, for pronouns I , and You , We and They we say have been , and for He , She and It - has been .
few general words
most often after consuming the above two times in a bid to further actions are described by using the time Past Simple.Past Continuous (rules described above) may indicate some kind of long-term effect in the past, during which there was something specific (While I bathed, you rang the doorbell).Past Perfect Continuous always shows us how long something takes place, and then interrupted by a specific event.
Use either of these times is pervasive in America and all the other English-speaking countries.Often auxiliaries are reduced, as the endings are attributed to him, but without any proposal changes its original meaning.
