What were you doing? - Past Continuous

Показать описание

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"

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

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.

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.

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

Hey look who’s here! Sis! What a surprise!
Hey, I didn’t except to see you here! Please Join me!
How was Your day, Julia?
I had an awful day. It seemed to be such a lovely day a the beginning. I was sitting on the balcony, drinking a cup of coffee. The sun was shining, someon was playing a violin in the streetnd i was enjoying a beautiful afternoon. I was feeling hungry, so I decide to make spaghetti. But i realized that I didn’t have any tomato sauce. So I went to the grocery store to buy some. After buying a few items, I finally found the tomato sauce. I was reading the label, when the jar just slipped out of my hands and fell down. There was glass and red sauce all over my shoes. I looked around and noticed that everyone was staring at me. People were smiling and whispering to each other. Soon i noticed that i was leaving a trail of red footprints throught the store. I found a grocery store worker and let him know what I had just done. I offered to help clean it up, but he declined. I was so embareassed that I wasn’t even looking where i was going… and i knocked over a display of chips. A manager was walking by me that very moment and noticed the mess I had made. I was expecting her to be angry, but she wasn’t. She said they would take care of everything. She was smiling. Maybe she thinking about how clumsy I was.
Oh, pour you, sis!I’ m sorry you had to go through this. It was just a bad day.
And there’s more! While I was waiting to pay the checkout, I realized I forgot my wallet home. I was mortified.
Oh, no! So what did you do?
I apologized and left all my shopping there.
Maybe you are too tired and stressed out. You should take a few days off from work and get some rest.
Yeah, you‘re right. You know, I called you yesterday at about 8 pm, but you didn’t answer. What were you doing?
You’ll never guess what happened yesterday evening! I was sitting in the living room, whatching TV when I suddenly felt a strong smell of smoke. It was coming from the corridor outside our apartament I opened the door and saw smoke at the end of the corridor. Mrs Brown lives there. I grabbed the fire extinguisher and ran towards her apartament. I opened the door and there was a big fire. The flames were spreading quickly. I put out the fire as fast as I Could. Then I saw Mrs. Brown in the living room. She was lying down on the floor. She was screaming for help. She was bleeding. I called the ambulance right away.
Oh, poor Mrs Brown! Is she okay now ?
Yes, luckly she is fine.But what happened?
It seems that fire was started by some candles that was burning in the living room. Mrs. Brown was dozing off when the fire started. She woke up and while she was trying to put out the fire, she fell down and broke her arm.
She is really lucky to be alive, thanks to you. You’re a real hero! And where were you, Isabella when all that happened? What were you doing?
I was taking a shower. So i didn’t notice anything. But when i come out of the bathroom, I felt the smell of smoke and knew something was going on. And I soon found out everything.
I’m glad thinghs turned out fine in the end. I’m to happy to spend such a wonderful evening with my brother and my sister-in-law!
