CONSOLIDATION Homework WARM-UP: Questions and answers
 What were 
 you doing?

 Form of the past continuous:
 Affirmative sentences: S + was/ were + V_ing

 Questions: Was/ were + S + V_ing ? PRESENTATION
 The use of the past continuous:
 We use the past continuous to describe:
 - an action that was happening at a particular time in the past.
 Example: I was having dinner at 6 p.m. yesterday.
 Were you having dinner at 6 p.m. yesterday? – Yes, I was.
 - a past action that was happening when another action interrupted it. 
 We use the past simple for the action that interrupted it.
 Example: When / While we were watching TV, we felt the earthquake.
 What were they doing when they felt the earthquake? – They
 were watching TV.
 Notes: - We can use when or while before the past continuous. 
 - We can only use when before the past simple. PRACTICE
