PAST

Theory

The Past Continuous is

a tense describes actions

that were being made in a time

in the past referred to and

then continued

Past continuous is very similar IN

STRUCTURE to the Present Continuous tense.

The only difference is that in the present

continuous we use the verb to be in the present

(am/is/are) but with the past continuous we use

the verb to be in the past (was/were).

Present The Present Continuous is mainly used to

express the idea that something is happening at the moment of speaking. The Present Continuous also describes activities generally in progress (not at the moment). Another use of the tense is to talk about temporary actions or future plans.

Theory

Use the Present Continuous with Normal Verbs to express the idea that something is happening now, at this very moment. It can also be used to show that something is not happening now.

FutureFuture Continuous has two

different forms: "will be doing " and "be going to be doing." Unlike Simple Future forms, Future Continuous forms are usually interchangeable.

Theory

This uses the "future continuous" to describe an action that is going to take place in the future and, at the time of the time we are talking about still will continue to evolve
