PAST CONTINUOUS TENSE

This time I will share a little bit to an easy way to study past continuous tense.
past continuous tense is generally used to express something happened in the past.
we can use these adverbs of time:

• yesterday
• last night
• last week
• last year
• two days ago
• two weeks ago
• once upon a time
• in ancient time
• etc.

This is the pattern how we use simple past tense sentences.
Nominal Sentences
(+) Subject + (was/were) + Object/complement.
(-) Subject + (was/were) + not + Object/complement.
(?) (Was/Were) + Subject + Object/complement?

Verbal Sentences
(+) Subject + V2 + Object/complement.
(-) Subject + did + not + V1 + Object/complement.
(?) Did + Subject + V1 + Object/complement?
