Question

Change the sentences in past continuous affirmative, negative answers. I am playing in the beach.​

Answer 1

Verified answer

I am playing in the beach.

• Affirmative: I was playing in the beach.

• Negative: I was not playing in the beach.

• Interrogative: was I playing in the beach?

Short answers:

• Positiva: Yes, I was.

• Negativa: No, I wasn't.

Explicación:

El pasado continuo afirmativo consta de la siguiente estructura:

Estructura positiva: pronombre + was / were + verbo (ing) + complemento

• Was se utiliza con los pronombres I, he, she o it.

• Were por el contrario, se usa con you, they y we.

La negación del pasado progresivo solo es agregando "not" delante del verbo to be (delante de was o were, recuerda que estas dos conjugaciones son del verbo to be en pasado)

En preguntas, solo se invierte el orden:

Was / were + pronombre + verbo (ing) + complemento?

(Ve la estructura positiva y comparala con esta y verás que solo cambia el orden)

Las short answers con el pasado progresivo dependen si es positiva o negativa:

Positiva: yes + pronombre + was / were

Negativa: no + pronombre + was / were + not

Recuerda que el was o were dependen del pronombre que se utilice como antes mencioné.
