 The past continuous (also called past progressive) is a tense used to describe an action that began in the past and continued for a short period.

Here is the structure of the past continuous tense.

Subject+was/were+verb(ing)+Object

With first-person singular......I and 

With third-person singular......He, She, It and any noun we use "was".

With first-person plural.....We and

With second person......You and 

With Third-person plural......They, we use  "were".

How to make negative sentences??

To make a negative sentence, we add " not" after was/were. In short form, we can say and write wasn't and weren't.

How to make an interrogative sentence?

To make an interrogative sentence, we put "was" or "were" before the subject, then the remaining sentence will come after.

Let's make sentences.

•Affirmative: I was working hard.

Negative: I was not working hard.

Interrogative: Was I working hard?

•Affirmative: We were solving the questions.

 Negative: We were not solving the questions.

 Interrogative: Were we solving the questions
