What were you doing? - Past Continuous

Learn how to use Past Continuous/Progressive through a short story in this video. We use this tense 1. for a continuous action in the past which was interrupted by another action "I was reading the label, when the jar slipped out of my hands"; 2. to describe the atmosphere "The sun was shining"; 3. for two actions which happened in the same time in the past "I was sitting in the living room and she was taking a shower"

[@mrchoon2010]

For those ESL teachers out there, this is one of the best videos I've found for presenting Pres Cont to your students. Have them watch this before tucking into the grammar, and your explanations will be much clearer.

[@only1furrywall]

hi there i am doing my first assignment of Tefl academy and it is for past cont. interrupted actions. i am required to show a short clip would this be it? other videos aren't like this....Many thanks in advance.

[@mrchoon2010]

@@only1furrywall If you were able to cut a section of the video that shows that specific function, that would be it. The whole video would have 2 major issues... - It's not short - It includes a variety of functions. Hope this helps.

[@only1furrywall]

@@mrchoon2010 thank you for the update and advice. I appreciate it.

[@davyprendergast82]

I don't agree. The title made it seem like its about interrupted actions, but I'm half way through and there have been lots of random past continuous functions but only one interrupted action so far. Still kinda ok just for general past tense practice I guess

[@mrchoon2010]

In what way does the title make it seem to be interrupted actions, and why would the title matter to your lesson? If it's not quite what you're looking for, find something else

[@josueo730]

sometimes we think we know how to use the past continuous, but it is always good to see this kind of animated and entertaining videos to understand better

The video covers a conversation between two sibiling discussing their recent experiences. One sister, Julia, recounts a series of embarrassing mishaps she had while running errands, including dropping a jar of tomato sauce at the grocery store and leaving a trail of red footprints, as well as forgetting her wallet at the checkout. The brother shares a story about heroically putting out a fire in their neighbor's apartment and calling an ambulance when the neighbor was injured. Isabella also remember about their evening together. Julia's Disastrous Day Julia describes her awful day, which started pleasantly but took a turn when she dropped a jar of tomato sauce at the grocery store, causing a mess and drawing stares from other shoppers. She then knocked over a chip display while leaving a trail of red footprints through the store. Despite her embarrassment, the manager was understanding and offered to clean up the mess. After the grocery store incident, Julia realized she had forgotten her wallet at home when she went to pay, leaving her mortified. She had to apologize and leave her shopping behind. The Brother's Heroic Actions The brother recounts how he noticed smoke coming from their neighbor's apartment the previous evening. He grabbed a fire extinguisher, entered the apartment, and put out a spreading fire. He then found their neighbor, Mrs. Brown, lying on the floor, bleeding and screaming for help. The brother called an ambulance, and Mrs. Brown was fortunately okay, having only broken her arm after falling while trying to extinguish the candle-caused fire herself. Sister-in-law (Isabella) Bonding Isabella express happiness at spending a wonderful evening together, with the heroic brother grateful that his actions helped prevent a tragedy.

The video is very good, in which it is possible to appreciate the use of the past continuous, where you can learn about this topic in a different, but interesting way, through a conversation where people make use of the past continuous.

[@ninosfelices4993]

It is a very important topic, it helps to indicate actions that we were carrying out in the past.
