PAST CONTINUOUS: What Were You Doing When…?

PAST VERB TO BE GAME 1

TO BE GOING TO GAME 2


Past continuous positive form

To form the past continuous, we use the was were form of the verb "to be" plus  the infinitive of the verb plus  an -ing ending.


Examples:

  • She was going to school but I notices that it was Sunday.
  • They were reading bedtime stories for hours last night so I was very tired in the morning.

Past continuous negative form

To make an affirmative (positive) statement negative, add "not" before the verb + -ing. You can also use a contraction (wasn't / weren't). We use contractions frequently in spoken  English.

Chart showing how to form the past continuous negative form

Examples:

  • was not going to bed. / I wasn't going to bed because it was not  the time.
  • You were not doing your homework but your mum told you to do it.
  • They were not playing  football this week but finally they played.
  • They were not studying English  during vacation but Miss Esther sent an email with homework.

Questions that can be answered with "yes" or "no" answers are formed by inverting the subject and correct form of the verb "be" (was / were). (Inverting means we change the order of the subject and verb form:)

Affirmative statement:  I was sleeping. (the subject "I" is first, then the verb form "was")

Examples:

  • was he going to study or not?
  • Was he going to  study all night again?
  • Were you going  to eat lots of candy?
  • Were they playing nicely today or were they fighting?
  • Was I snoring?

OUGHT TO AND SHOULD

WE USE OUGHT TO TO GIVE ADVICE OR TO EXPRESS MORAL DUTY.

Giving advice and talking about necessity 

We can use should / ought to / have to / must + the base form of a verb to give advice and talk about necessity. 

Should and ought to are less strong and less formal than have to and must.

 less strong / less formal stronger / more formal

 should  -  ought  to -   have to -   must     

Should and ought to

 We use should / should not (shouldn’t) and ought to / ought not to (oughtn’t to) to say whether something is a good idea.

Should and ought to are similar in meaning, but should is less formal and more common, especially in negative forms and questions. 

You should / ought to take a walk after each meal. 

They should not (shouldn’t) / ought not to (oughtn’t to) park their car there

DIFERENCIA ENTRE SO AND SUCH

STARTER UNIT GRAMMAR

SO AND SUCH

 Uilizamos “so” (tan, así, entonces) y “such” (semejante, tal, tan, tanto) para añadir énfasis, mostrar sentimientos extremos o para dar la opinión.

Es muy sencillo diferenciar «so» de «such»: solo tenemos que prestar atención a las palabras que vienen detrás:


  1. La palabra «so» sirve para modificar adjetivos y adverbios: This coffee is so good! — ¡Este café está tan bueno!
  2. La palabra «such» sirve para modificar sustantivos: It's such a beautiful morning!
