Past Continuous Tense (Folyamatos múlt idő)

A következő eseteken használjuk:

  • egyszeri múltbeli cselekvés/történés, mely egy adott pillanatban folyamatban volt (amikorról szó van)
  • két párhuzamosan zajló múltbeli cselekvés/történés egyike
  • rövid időszakonként ismétlődő múltbeli cselekvés/történés

Ezt két féle képpen fejezhetjük ki:

  • az időpont megadásával (Éjfélkor már aludtam)
  • egy vagy több másik cselekvés, történés által is kifejezhetjük (éppen aludtam, amikor felhívott). ehhez használhatjuk a when - mikor és a while - mialatt szót.

Lényeg az, hogy habár tartós cselekvés volt, de már befejeztük, már vége a cselekvének/történésnek.
