Using past progressive correctly in English ✏️main time of using past progressive is for simultaneous and interruptive actions. Ex: While I was making dinner, I helped my daughter with her homework.(simultaneous actions) 👏The other action's tense also could be past progressive, if you are talking about specific point and time's happening. 1️⃣When/While I was doing sth, something else happened. Ex: When I was eating breakfast, I spoiled my orange juice. ☝"When…,"is an adverb clause, ☝"I…"is an independent clause, which can stand alone. Ex: When I was fixing the car, she handed me tools and kept me company. 👏comma is necessary when the adverb clause goes before the independent clause, because of which acts as an introductary element. 2️⃣Something was done, when/ while something was happening. Ex: You called me when I was shopping. Ex: He got home while I was making dinner. Role Play: A: Where were you last week? B: I went to the beach. It was amazing! A: What? I was stuck in the class, and you were playing at the beach. B: I' m sorry, actually can I get your notes? A: Seriously, I owe you one. When I was hanging out on the sand, I thought I hope Lyndsay was taking notes, so I can get them from her.
