In other words, the past continuous speaks about what was going on when something important happened. The past continuous can be used by itself to express what happened at a precise moment in the past. However, the most common use is together with the past simple Something happening at a specific point of time in the past. Something that was happening during a period of time in the past.

Verb Conjugation

Understanding Basic Verb Conjugation Patterns in English

Learning English tenses over time becomes easier because of the patterns that carry over from each tense. This tense learning grid helps English learners identify the patterns that a verb form will have whether in the past, present or future form. Of course, these patterns are not the only use for each of these tenses. However, understanding these verb conjugation patterns will help students identify at a more abstract level when forms are used.

There are four basic verb conjugation forms in English.

• Simple Tenses
• Progressive Tenses
• Perfect Tenses
• Perfect Progressive Tenses

Simple Tenses

Use simple tenses to speak about something that happens repeatedly in the present. Simple tenses are used in the past and future to speak about something that occurs once.

• Mary often plays tennis on weekends.
• Peter visited his parents in New York last month.
• Tom will come to the event next week.

Progressive Tenses

Use progressive tenses to express actions that are in progress at a specific moment in time.

Do not use stative verbs with progressive tenses (i.e. love, like, hate, taste, feel, etc.)

• The children are doing their homework at the moment.
• Doug was cooking dinner when she arrived.
• Christian will be enjoying his vacation this time next week.

Perfect Tenses

Use perfect tenses to express something that what has been completed from one point in time to another. Perfect tenses express what happens over time.

• Susan has read four books by Hemingway.
• They had already eaten before he arrived.
• William will have finished the report by six o'clock.

Perfect Progressive Tenses

Perfect progressive tenses are a combination used to express the duration of a specific activity from one point in time to another. As with all progressive tenses, perfect progressive tenses do not take stative verbs (feel, think, hear, etc.)

• We've been playing tennis since five o'clock.
• They had been waiting at the bus stop for thirty minutes by the time it arrived.
• Henry will have been studying for six hours by the end of this hour.

Notice how most tenses use time expressions to define a point in time as reference. These time expressions can also be time clauses which express an action as reference reference for the conjugation of the main clause. These time expressions can be thought of in the following ways based on the basic verb conjugation form.

• Simple Tenses - time expressions or time clauses that define in a general way when something happened.
• Progressive Tenses - time expressions or time clauses that define the specific moment in time when something happens.
• Perfect Tenses - time expressions or time clauses that define the moment up to which something is completed.
• Perfect Progressive Tenses - time expressions that indicate the duration of an action from one point in time to another.

Using this approach, you can see that there are twelve tenses in English. One tense for each verb conjugation form in the present (4 tenses), past (4 tenses), and future (4 tenses). Here is a chart that you can use to quickly review the twelve tenses of English:
