PAST TENSE [RULES]

 

 

                       

 

RULE 01: PAST PROGRESSIVE USE

 

 

 

 

 

Ø   We use the past progressive for actions that were happening around a definite past time (best. Zeitpunkt in der Vergangenheit). Signalwords are yesterday at 2:00, last week at the same time and so on.

 

What were you doing yesterday at 8.00? Were you watching TV?” (NOT What did you do …?)
