Past Continuous Tense Exercises in Japanese language

The Past Continuous Tense is an essential aspect of English grammar, particularly useful for describing actions that were ongoing in the past. This tense is formed by combining the past tense of the verb "to be" (was/were) with the present participle of the main verb (ending in -ing). For example, "I was studying" or "They were playing." Understanding and mastering the Past Continuous Tense enables learners to articulate more complex narratives and convey a clearer sense of time and action in their spoken and written English.
