Unit 4: Adventure

3.1. Look at the highlighted verbs in the extract from the interview in Exercise 4. Answer
the questions.

She was sitting on an aeroplane in Denver airport with her one-year-old child when she saw a fire
from the window. While the other passengers were running to the exits, Maria climbed out of the
window.
1. Do all the highlighted verbs talk about the past?
2. Which verbs describe a completed action?
3. Which verbs describe actions in progress at a particular time?
4. How do you from the past continuous tense?
What is the auxiliary verb? What is the form of the main verbs?
3.2. Form
We form the past continuous with the past simple of the verb to be plus the –ing form of the verb.
Affirmative
Negative
Interrogative
You /we /they were working

You /we /they weren’t

Were you /we /they working

last week.

working last week.

last week?

I/ he /she/ it was working
last week.

I/ he /she/ it wasn’t working
last week.

Was I/ he /she/ it working
last week?

3. Use
We use the past continuous to:
•

describe actions and situations in progress at a particular time in the past. Paul was
watching TV. Kathy was reading a book.

•

talk about the background to a story. The sun was shining and the birds were singing. We
often use the past continuous with the past simple to talk about two actions that happened
at the same time in the past. We can join the tenses with the words when or while.

Tania was waiting at the station when the rest of the climbing team arrived. While the team were
walking to the train, she ran to meet them.
Remember, we don’t usually use stative verbs (e.g: be, like, believe, understand) in the continuous
form.
4. Practice
Exercise 1: Look at the grammar box. Then choose the correct options to complete the
true life survival stories.
