PAST PROGRESSIVE

Review

• Simple past = action or state finished in the past (yesterday,


last…, … ago, etc.)

• Past continuous = was/were + verb+ing, an action that was


in progress/not finished when another action happened
(interrupted)
PAST PROGRESSIVE

• Use while for two actions in progress at the same time in the past:

She was talking while he was driving.

• Use when when telling about sequence of events (one action that
was in progress that was interrupted by another event in the past):

I was just leaving when you called.


(first action in progress) (interrupting event)
PAST PROGRESSIVE
Punctuation with When and While

• When and while at the front of a sentence, use a comma:


When you called, I was watching TV.

While he was washing the clothes, I was doing the dishes.

• When and while in the middle of a sentence, no comma

I was watching TV when you called.

I was doing the dishes while he was washing the clothes.
