Past Continuous
Past Continuous (ili Past Progressive) je prošlo vreme u engleskom jeziku.
Za razliku od običnog prošlog vremena (koje se zove Past Simple), ovo vreme se koristi za radnju koja je trajala u prošlosti.
Kako se gradi Past Continuous?
Potvrdan oblik
Subjekat + TO BE (was / were) + infinitiv + -ing
We were sleeping. (Spavali smo.)
Upitan oblik
TO BE (was / were) + Subjekat + infinitiv + -ing
Were we sleeping? (Kada samo spavali?)
Odričan oblik
Subjekat + TO BE (was / were) + not + infinitiv + -ing
We were not sleeping. (Nismo spavali.)

– za prošlu radnju koja je trajala u prošlosti
I had a good time while I was living in Paris. (Bilo mi je lepo dok sam živela u Parizu.)
When I woke up this morning, the sun was shining. (Kada sam se probudila jutros, sunce je sijalo.)
– za dve radnje koje su se istovremeno dešavale u prošlosti
He was reading newspapers while she was preparing breakfast. (Čitao je novine dok je ona spremala doručak.)
– za prošlu radnju koja je trajala u prošlosti i bila prekinuta nekom drugom prošlom radnjom
(ta druga prošla radnja obično se izražava vremenom Past Simple)
They were watching TV when Sarah entered the room. (Gledali su televiziju kada je Sara ušla u sobu.)
