NOTA
➤ PAST CONTINUOUS/PROGRESSIVE
Para formar el 'past continuous/progressive' se deben usar los auxiliares WAS/WERE y la forma '-ING' del verbo principal.
Hay que elegir el auxiliar según el sujeto de la oración:
• Sujeto: I, he, she, it ---------------- Auxiliar: WAS
• Sujeto: we, you, they ------------- Auxiliar: WERE
En las oraciones negativas también se pueden usar las contracciones negativas, que son la fusión del auxiliar WAS/WERE y el adverbio NOT:
• Sujeto: I, he, she, it ----------------- Contracción: WASN'T
• Sujeto: we, you, they -------------- Contracción: WEREN'T
Estas son todas las estructuras:
➜ Past continuous – Affirmative:
• Sujeto + auxiliar WAS/WERE + forma '-ING' del verbo principal + complementos
➜ Past continuous – Negative:
• Sujeto + auxiliar WAS/WERE + NOT + forma '-ING' del verbo principal + complementos
• Sujeto + contracción WASN'T/WEREN'T + forma '-ING' del verbo principal + complementos
➜ Past continuous – Interrogative
➜ Yes/no questions:
• Auxiliar WAS/WERE + sujeto + forma '-ING' del verbo principal + complementos + ?
➜ Wh-questions:
• Wh-word + auxiliar WAS/WERE + sujeto + forma '-ING' del verbo principal + complementos + ?
➜ Past continuous - Interrogative Negative:
• Auxiliar WAS/WERE + sujeto + NOT + forma '-ING' del verbo principal + complementos + ?
• Contracción WASN'T/WEREN'T + sujeto + forma '-ING' del verbo principal + complementos + ?
