9.3.1.1 Formazione del simple past continuous

Come abbiamo già visto nel simple present si forma il tempo continuo che corrisponde con il verbo to be. Nel l simple past si utilizza il simple past del verbo to be. Salvo questo, non ce nessuna differenza.

esempio          
forma di 'to be' + verbo pieno + raddoppiamento della consonante + suffisso -ing = past continuous
