(The Past Continuous Tense)

Время Past Continuous указывает на процесс, длившийся в определенный момент или период в прошлом. В отличие от времени Past Simple, этот момент в прошлом должен быть назван прямо (например, yesterday at 5 o’clock, when you called, when rain started) или быть очевидным из контекста.

When you called I was taking shower. Когда ты позвонил, я принимал душ. Charlie and me were already driving home when the engine suddenly stopped. Мы с Чарли уже ехали домой, как вдруг заглох мотор.

Образование Past Continuous

Утвердительные предложения:

I was playing

We were playing

You were playing

You were playing

He / she / it was playing

They were playing

Для того, чтобы поставить глагол в форму Past Continuous, нужен вспомогательный глагол to be в прошедшем времени и причастие настоящего времени (Participle I) смыслового глагола.

To be в прошедшем времени имеет две формы:

  • was – 1 и 3 лицо ед. ч. (I was smoking. He was eating.)

  • were – 2 лицо ед. ч. и все формы мн. ч. (They were laughing.)

Вопросительные предложения:

Was I playing?

Were we playing?

Were you playing?

Were you playing?

Was he / she / it playing?

Were they playing?

В вопросительном предложении вспомогательный глагол выносится на место перед подлежащим, а значимый глагол остается после него:

Were you sleeping when I called? You sounded drowsy. Ты спал, когда я позвонил? Ты казался сонным.

Отрицательные предложения:

I was not playing

We were not playing

You were not playing

You were not playing

He / she / it was not playing

They were not playing

В отрицательных предложениях за вспомогательным глаголом следует отрицательная частица not. Формы was и were при этом могут быть сокращены до wasn’t и weren’t соответственно.

In the morning our elevator was not (wasn’t) working. Утром не работал лифт.

Употребление Past Continuous

  • Указание на процесс, происходивший в конкретный момент времени в прошлом:

I was sleeping when someone knocked at the door. Когда я спал, кто-то постучал в дверь.
