📝 Trucos para el pasado continuo
1. Para formar el pasado continuo en inglés, se utiliza el verbo «to be» en pasado simple seguido del verbo principal en su forma «-ing». Por ejemplo, «I was studying» (yo estaba estudiando).
2. Recuerda que el verbo «to be» en pasado simple se conjuga como «was» para la primera persona del singular (I), y como «were» para todas las demás personas (you, he/she/it, we, they). Por ejemplo, «They were playing» (ellos estaban jugando).
3. Utiliza el pasado continuo para hablar sobre acciones que ocurrieron en un momento específico en el pasado y que estaban en progreso en ese momento. Por ejemplo, «He was cooking dinner at 7 o’clock yesterday» (él estaba cocinando la cena a las 7 en punto ayer).
