REMEMBERING
THE PAST
LESSON 3: A CLOSER LOOK 2

- Do you remember the past continuous
you have learned in Tiếng Anh 8 (Unit 9)?
- Give some examples.

I. PAST CONTINUOUS
- We use the past continuous to describe an action that was
happening at a particular time in the past.
=>Example: I was going to school at 6.30 am yesterday.
- or a past action that was happening when another action
interrupted it.
=>Example: I was having dinner when my friends came.

I. PAST CONTINUOUS
FORMS:

(+) S+WAS/ WERE + V-ing.
(-) S+WAS/ WERE + NOT + V-ing.
(?) WAS/ WERE + S + V-ing?

II. PAST CONTINUOUS
- We use the past continuous to describe an action that was happening at
a particular time in the past.
- or a past action that was happening when another action interrupted it.
- We also use the past continuous to emphasise how long an action took and
how much time somebody spent doing it. We usually use adverb phrases that
explain the length of time such as:
all morning / week / year...
for hours / days / weeks / months / years...

Here are one
example.
