Song: La grange (zztop)In this post we are going to talk about the past continuous. We will look at the syntax and the use of this tense. We are also going to compare it to the past simple and see the differences.
Past Continuous / Past Progressive
Structure
Positive form
Subject + was/were + (-ing) + Complement
Examples:-nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; Michael was watching the World Cupnbsp; match.
-nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; They were working all night long.
-nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; Josh and Silvia were talking about getting married.
Negative form
Subject + wasnrsquo;t/werenrsquo;t + (-ing) + Complement
Examples:-nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; John wasnrsquo;t eating because he was feeling sick.
-nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; Jeff wasnrsquo;t watching TV.
-nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; My parents werenrsquo;t having a good time because it was very cold in Canada
Question Form
(Question Word) + was/were + Subject + (-ing) + Complement
-nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; What were you doing last night at around 8:00pm?
-nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; Was Jim doing his homework?
-nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; Were they sleeping all morning?
Conclusions:
-The complete structure: (TABLE #1)
- Past continuous is very similar IN STRUCTURE to the Present Continuous tense. The only difference is that in the present continuous we use the verb to be in the present (am/is/are) but with the past continuous we use the verb to be in the past (was/were)Compare (TABLE #2)Present Continuous
Past ContinuousThey arenbsp; writing
They were writingPedro isnrsquo;t eating
Pedro wasnrsquo;t eatingWhere is he staying?
Where was he staying?-nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; We do not use the auxiliary DID with the past continuous.
USE
We use the past continuous to talk about an action that was in progress at a certain time in the past, an action at some point in the past between its beginning and end
Example: He was working in the garden at 7 orsquo;clock this morning.The past continuous is used to describe an action that we were ldquo;in the middle ofrdquo; at a time in the past.
-nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; I was watching TV at 8:00pm. (I was ldquo;in the middle of watching TVrdquo; at 8:00)
-nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; Miguel was cooking at noon. (At that time, Miguel was ldquo;in the middle of cookingrdquo;)It is important to remember this concept so that in our next lesson we can compare and contrast the past continuous with the past simple.

Si desean bajarlo a su mp3 player hacer click derecho en download y guardar vinculo como.Este es la segunda parte de la leccioacute;n 10 que es llamada leccioacute;n 10b. En la primera leccioacute;n (10a) vimos la forma positiva de los verbos que no son "to be" y aprendimos como conjugarlos. Ahora veremos y estudiaremos juntos la forma negativa y de pregunta.
The Simple Present tense
Negative form
The structure of the negative structure is formed by adding the auxiliaries do or does plus the negation notDo + not ---#62; don't
Does + not ---#62; doesn'tThese auxiliaries are used TO HELP you. When you use the auxiliary the verb is always in its simple.Remember:
In positive we had 2 conjugations for every verb (not to be)
- play/plays , work/works, study/studies, watch/watches, etc...The conjugation is simple: HE / SHE / IT ---- with the "s" form and I / WE / YOU / THEY ---- simple formExamples:
My brother works for IBM.
My parents live in Paris.IN THE NEGATIVE FORM THE AUXILIARY CHANGES FORM AND NOT THE VERB.He / she / it + doesn't + verb (simple form)
I / We / You / They + don't + verb (simple form)Figura #1:Let's PracticeNota del profesor:Como vemos, lo que se conjuga en la forma negativa es el auxiliar y no el verbo. Es decir, uno va elejir entre don't y el doesn't pero el verbo SIEMPRE estara en su forma simple (sin la terminacioacute;n "s")
Question form
The question structure is formed by following the following structureQuestion word + [do / does + SUBJECT + Verb (simple form)] + ComplementWe use the auxiliaries do and does in the question form and they have to agree with the subject
The conjugation is the following:
Does -----#62; he/she/it
Do ----------#62; I/we/you/theyThe verb ALWAYS stays in the simple form (not with the "s" form)
Short Answers
Las respuestas cortas son con los auxiliares do y does con la forma positiva y donacute;t y doesn't con la forma negativa. La respuesta corta se refiere a cuando responde solo si o no.Do you study English for free in InglesTotal? ----------#62; Yes, I do
Yes, (I, you, we, you, they) do. ------------ No, ( (I, you, we, you, they) don't.
Yes,  (he,she,it does)------------------------- No,  (he,she,it )doesn'tFigura #2Figura #3Let's PracticeConclusion:
The auxiliaries appear in the negative and question form with the verbs that are not to be.Example:
(+) Juan plays soccer.
(-) He doesn't play soccer.
(?) Does he play soccer?*VERB TO BE (NO AUXILIARIES!!!)
(+) She is a teacher
(-) She isn't a teacher.
(?) Is she a teacher?Nota: Recuerden que cuando usen el verbo to be (es decir cualquier conjugacion de ser o estar en el presente) no se usan los auxiliares puesto que estos se usan solo con los demas verbos y en negativo y en pregunta)

The Present Continuous or present progressive tenseStructure: S + verb to be (AM/IS/ARE) + -ing form of a verb+ Complement.
Use: To describe actions that are happening at the moment (NOW).La estructura consta del uso del verbo mas el gerundio. se usa para describir acciones que suceden en el momento. Se usa para explicar lo que uno esta haciendo ahora.
I) The positive form of the present continuous.- Remember to use the Subject (this can be a subject pronoun or a noun -LESSON 1 Click AQUI) plus (+) the verb to be in the present tense (am/is/are) and complement (optional).The following is the table of the positive form of the present continuous / progressive.Table #1 :Positive FormCommon mistakes:- Students forget to use the verb to beExample:a) My father working (INCORRECT) ---#62; My father IS working. (Correct)- Sometimes students do not use the -ing form.b) Robert is play with my sister (INCORRECT) ---#62; Robert is playING with my sister. (CORRECT)
Recuerden de no omitir el sujeto. En espantilde;ol "Esta comiendo" esta usando un sujeto taacute;cito. En ingles siempre debemos decir quien hace la accioacute;n (salvo en el imperativo) Entonces en "esta comiendo" el sujeto puede ser el, ella, o ello. En ingles seria "He/she /it is eating" dependiendo del contexto.
II) The negative form of the present continuous
The negative form is used by adding "not" after the verb to be in the present tense form. You may use contractions.Table # 2:The negative form.Common mistakes:-Some students place the negative first. REMEMBER TO USE THE S+V+C !!!a) Not working my father (INCORRECT) ---#62; My father isn't (is + not) working (CORRECT)- Students use the don't/doesn't to do the negative:b) She doesn't playing (INCORRECT) ---#62; She isn't playing (CORRECT)
III) The question form of the present continuous.
We have to put the verb to be + the subject + -ing form + the complement.Are you watching TV?
Remember that we can use the Question words before the structure:Examples:- What are you doing? Answer: I am studying English with my virtual teacher.- Where is Pedro going? Answer: He is going to the shopping mall.
Table # 3: Question formCommon mistakes:- Students do not change the order of the verb to be with the subject:a) He is working? (INCORRECT) ---#62; Is he working? (CORRECT)- Students use do or does in questions:b) Do you studying? (INCORRECT) ---#62; Are you studying? (CORRECT)
