Past and Present Tenses
The Progressive Form
In this lesson we are going to learn about a slightly different
form of the past and present tenses.

It is called the Progressive form and is used to describe actions


that are or were happening.

Another way of saying this is that they were (or are) in


progress.
This is where we get the name Progressive from.
Past and Present Tenses
The Progressive Form
Past Progressive Tense: Describes something that was ‘in
progress’ for a certain amount of time.
It is formed with the past tense of ‘to be’ and an –ing ending.

Past tense of ‘to be’ Add a verb ending in -ing

I was fishing
You were swimming
He/she/it was sleeping

We were crying
You were choosing
They were jumping

Can you write some examples on your whiteboard?


Past and Present Tenses
The Progressive Form
Present Progressive Tense: Describes something that is ‘in
progress’ now.
