Past Continuous Tense

Past continuous:- The "past continuous" tense is used to describe ongoing or continuous actions that were happening at a specific point in the past. It is formed by combining the past tense of the verb "to be" (was/were) with the present participle of the main verb (-ing form).

The structure of the past continuous tense is as follows:

Subject + was/were + present participle

   

·       I was going to market.

·       She was speaking English.

·       They were not playing football.

·       We were working on a project.

·       He was reading a newspaper.

·       I was not going to school.

·       We were driving a car.

·       Riya was singing a song.

Note:- Is/am/are shows present sense of time in a sentence and was/were shows past sense of time. We use “was” with singular and “were” with plural noun/ pronoun

The past continuous tense is often used to provide background information or set the scene in narratives or storytelling. It can also be used to describe actions or events that were in progress at a particular time in the past.

Future Simple Tense

As we know we use first form of verb (action word) to make a sentence in present sense of time and second form of verb to make a sentence in past sense of time.

Future Plan: - Verbs are very important because with the help of verb we can identify the sense of time in a sentence. Now we will learn how to make sentences in future sense of time with the simple formula “Sub+ will+ action word”.

The future simple tense, also known as the simple future tense, is used to talk about actions or events that will happen in the future. It is formed by using the auxiliary verb "will" followed by the first form of the main verb.

The future simple tense is used in the following situations:

1. Future events: It is used to make predictions or discuss future events based on present evidence or beliefs.

Example: "I think it will rain tomorrow."

2. Promises: It is used to make promises or express intentions about future actions.

Example: "I will help you with your homework tonight."

3. Spontaneous decisions: It is used to express spontaneous decisions or actions made at the moment of speaking.

Example: "I forgot my umbrella. I will borrow yours."

4. Scheduled events: It is used to talk about events or actions that have already been planned or scheduled in the future.
