➤ PAST CONTINUOUS/PROGRESSIVE

Para formar el 'past continuous/progressive' se deben usar los auxiliares WAS/WERE y la forma '-ING' del verbo principal.

Hay que elegir el auxiliar según el sujeto de la oración:  

• Sujeto: I, he, she, it ---------------- Auxiliar: WAS  

• Sujeto: we, you, they ------------- Auxiliar: WERE

En las oraciones negativas también se pueden usar las contracciones negativas, que son la fusión del auxiliar WAS/WERE y el adverbio NOT:

• Sujeto: I, he, she, it ----------------- Contracción: WASN'T

• Sujeto: we, you, they ------------- Contracción: WEREN'T

Estas son todas las estructuras:

➜ Past continuous – Affirmative:

• [̲̅+̲̅] Sujeto + auxiliar WAS/WERE + forma '-ING' del verbo principal + complementos

➜ Past continuous – Negative:

• [̲̅–̲̅] Sujeto + auxiliar WAS/WERE + NOT + forma '-ING' del verbo principal + complementos  

• [̲̅–̲̅] Sujeto + contracción WASN'T/WEREN'T + forma '-ING' del verbo principal + complementos  

➜ Past continuous – Interrogative:

↳ Yes/no questions:

• [̲̅?̲̅] Auxiliar WAS/WERE + sujeto + forma '-ING' del verbo principal + complementos + ?  

↳ Wh-questions:

• [̲̅?̲̅] Wh-word + auxiliar WAS/WERE + sujeto + forma '-ING' del verbo principal + complementos + ?  

➜ Past continuous – Interrogative Negative:

• [̲̅?̲̅] [̲̅–̲̅] Auxiliar WAS/WERE + sujeto + NOT + forma '-ING' del verbo principal + complementos + ?  

• [̲̅?̲̅] [̲̅–̲̅] Contracción WASN'T/WEREN'T + sujeto + forma '-ING' del verbo principal + complementos + ?
