How is it going class?

In this class we are going to learn the PAST CONTINUOUS tense.

Usamos past continuous para hablar de acciones que estaban en progreso en un punto específico en el pasado.
I was making dinner at 7 pm yesterday.
They were watching a film at 10 o´clock last night.

General structure

• Affirmative form:
