Past Continuous Tense (Prošlo trajno vreme) se koristi za:

Radnju koja je u prošlosti duže vreme trajala:

Dve radnje koje su se u prošlom vremenu paralelno dešavale:

  • When we arrived they were playing cards. (Kada smo stigli oni su igrali karte.)

Napomena: Glagoli koji se ne koriste u Present Continuous Tense-u, ne koriste se ni u Past Continuous Tense-u. Umesto njih se obično koristi glagol u Past Simple Tense-u.
