Hello Juned,

Sebelum membuat kalimat past continuous tense, kita perlu mengetahui dulu fungsi tenses ini yaitu:

1. Menyatakan tindakan yang sedang berlangsung di masa lalu.
2. Menyatakan kegiatan sela yang sedang berlangsung.
3. Menyatakan kegiatan yang sedang berlangsung pada waktu yang sama dimasa lalu.
4. Pertanyaan bersyarat/sopan.

To be yang digunakan:

• You, They, We + were
• I She, He, It, My Mom + was

Contoh kalimat dan rumusnya:

Positif:

subjek + to be (was/were) + verb-ing + objek

Contoh: He was sleeping when I came. (Dia sedang tidur ketika saya datang.)

Negatif:

subjek + was/were + not + verb-ing + objek

Contoh: He was not sleeping when I came. (Dia tidak sedang tidak ketika saya datang.)

Tanya:

was/were + subjek + verb-ing + objek

Contoh:

Was he sleeping when I came? (Apakah dia sedang tidur ketika saya datang?)

Contoh lainnya:

• Two children were playing

  on the sand and two fisherman were leaning against an upturned boat.

• From the sounds it was clear that Mary was practicing

  the piano.

• He was a little mad. He was always trying

  to prove that earth was flat.

• It was a fine day and the road crowded because a lot of people were rushing

  to the seaside.

• He usually wears sandals, but when I saw him, he was wearing

  boots.
