Past Continuous/ Прошедшее продолженное время

Рассмотрите такую ситуацию:

Yesterday Tom and Jim played tennis. They began at 10 o'clock and finished at 11 o'clock.

- What were they doing at 10.30?
- They were playing tennis (at 10.30)

-

They were playing означает, что они находились где-то посередине игры. Они начали, но не закончили. Это и есть Past Continuous (прошедшее продолженное) время. Иногда его ещё называют Past Progressive (прошедшее прогрессивное), т.е. показывает, что действие продолжается, находится в прогрессе.

Образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола to be в прошедшем времени:

I / He / She	was	playing
We / You / They	were

Вот ещё несколько примеров:

- What were you doing at 10 o'clock last night?

-

Past Continuous не показывает нам закончено действие или нет. Возможно закончилось, возможно - нет, нас это не интересует. Сравните:

- Tom was cooking dinner. (Past Continuous) = Том был в процессе приготовления обеда и мы не знаем закончил он или нет.
- Tom cooked dinner. (Past Simple) = Он начал и закончил готовить.

Мы часто используем Past Continuous и Past Simple вместе, когда нам нужно показать, что какое-то действие происходит во время другого действия:

- Tom burnt his hand when he was cooking dinner.
- I saw Jim in the park. He was sitting on the grass and reading a book.
- It was raining when I got up this morning.
- While I was working in the garden. I hurt my back.

Однако, используем только Past Simple, когда события идут одно за другим:

- Yesterday evening Tom was having a bath when the phone rang. He got out of the bath and answered the phone.

-

Сравните:

- When Tom arrived, we were having dinner. (Past Continuous) = Мы уже начали обедать когда Том пришел.
- When Tom arrived, we had dinner. (Past Simple) = Том пришел, а затем мы начали обедать.
