Nakaraang Patuloy

Past Continuous

Inilalarawan ng Past Continuous ang kilos na nangyayari sa isang tiyak na sandali sa nakaraan. Binubuo ito ng was/were + pandiwa-ing. Madalas itong ginagamit kasama ng Past Simple upang ipakita na ang isang patuloy na kilos ay naputol ng mas maikling pangyayari.

KAILAN GAMITIN

Gamitin para sa kilos na nangyayari sa isang tiyak na sandali sa nakaraan, para sa dalawang magkasabay na kilos sa nakaraan, o kapag ang isang mas mahabang kilos sa nakaraan ay naputol ng mas maikli (madalas na may "when" o "while").

MGA KARANIWANG PAGKAKAMALI

I was read when she called.

I was reading when she called.

Kailangan ng past continuous ang was/were + V-ing, hindi lamang ang base form ng pandiwa

While I was studying, she arrived.

While I was studying, she arrived. ✓ (this is correct!)

Tama naman ito! "while" + past continuous na naputol ng past simple

Tip

Tandaan ang klasikong pattern: "I WAS doing X when something happened." Past continuous (was doing) = mahabang kilos sa likuran. Past simple (happened) = maikling kilos na pumuputol.
