NOW

КАРТОЧКА 3

Когда используем

СЛУЧАЙ 1 · ПРОЦЕСС В КОНКРЕТНЫЙ МОМЕНТ ПРОШЛОГО

At 7 p.m. I was having dinner.

СЛУЧАЙ 2 · ДВА ДЕЙСТВИЯ ОДНОВРЕМЕННО

КАРТОЧКА 4

Формула

КАРТОЧКА 5

Мнемоника

WAS / WERE + ING = БЫЛ В ПРОЦЕССЕ

AM / IS / ARE + ING

процесс сейчас

WAS / WERE + ING

процесс тогда

КАРТОЧКА 6

Утверждение, отрицание, вопрос

+ Subject + was / were + V-ing → I was studying.

− Subject + wasn't / weren't + V-ing → I wasn't sleeping.

? Was / Were + subject + V-ing? → Were you sleeping?

Tom was sleeping.

↓

Was Tom sleeping?

WAS / WERE выходит вперёд.

КАРТОЧКА 7

DID здесь не нужен

✕ Did Tom sleeping?

✕ Did Tom was sleeping?

✓ Was Tom sleeping?

У Past Continuous уже есть помощник — was / were. Поэтому DID не нужен.

КАРТОЧКА 8

V-ing

Правила те же, что и в Present Continuous: play → playing, read → reading, make → making, run → running, lie → lying.

КАРТОЧКА 9

Слова и контексты-подсказки

at 5 p.m. yesterday — вчера в 5 вечераat that moment — в тот моментall evening — весь вечерwhile — пока, в то время какwhen — когда

Это подсказки, а не автоматическое правило.

Время определяется смыслом ситуации.

КАРТОЧКА 10

WHILE — процесс рядом с процессом

While I was studying, my sister was watching TV.

Пока я занимался, сестра смотрела телевизор.

PROCESS ↔ PROCESS

Это типичный учебный контекст, а не абсолютное правило: после while не всегда стоит Past Continuous.

КАРТОЧКА 11

WHEN — процесс и событие

I was sleeping when the phone rang.
