1 PAST CONTINUOUS

2 USOS O Passado contínuo é usado, basicamente, para descrever três tipos de ações:

3 Aquelas que estavam ocorrendo num tempo dado no passado
The girl was studying in Greece in 1988.

4 2. Aquelas que estavam ocorrendo num dado tempo do passado quando outra ação veio a ocorrer (interrompendo a ação anterior). Nesse caso, teremos duas sentenças:

5 Uma no passado contínuo ( a que se refere ao fato mais antigo) e outra no passado simples ( a que se refere ao fato mais recente). Geralmente utiliza-se, nesses casos, o conectivo “when”.

6 The girl was studying in Greece WHEN the conflicts started.
