The Past Continuous

§ 4.1.

1. The Past Continuous refers generally to events or actions in progress around a particular time in the past[3]. The past moment may be marked by:

a) an adverb or adverbial phrase, such as at night, last night, by that time, still, all day, the whole day, all through the day, from...till and others. They emphasize either the temporary or extended nature of an event: [3]

By the end of the week I was thinking that I had done a wrong thing. [A.Cronin]

We were working in the garden all day yesterday. [3]

b) another short coinciding action (see §4.2).

When they arrived, I was cleaning the room.

c) the context and the situation well-known for the speakers. In this case, the form of the Past Continuous is used to give a reason for an event[3]:

– I rang you yesterday but there was no answer!

– I was gardening.

 

2. The Past Continuous may refer to ongoing and repeated events in the past. There is often a suggestion that the situation was temporary and subject to changes[1,3]:

He enjoyed the evenings when Mrs. Watkins was visiting him[A.Cronin].

 

3. The Past Continuous often occurs when referring to past-time events as a background and being used for scene-setting[1]:

Two builders were working on our house when it was being built, and a ghost passed them on the stairs, and they refused to come back and finish the building[3].

 

Sometimes the continuous form is omitted in such a case with the verbs implying continuity, such as to lie, to sit, to stand, etc. [1]

He entered the sitting-room. Phillip lay on the sofa. [A.Cronin]
