Past continuous[B1] Je gebruikt de past continuous om aan te geven dat iets op een bepaald moment in het verleden
‘aan de gang’ was. In het Nederlands zeg je vaak: ‘… waren aan het …’ of ‘… zaten te …’. De nadruk
ligt dus op een activiteit die een (korte) periode aan de gang was.
Je maakt de past continuous met een verleden tijdsvorm van to be (was, were) + (not) gevolgd door
een werkwoord met de uitgang -ing.

waren jullie de hele middag aan het doen? — We zaten de effecten van de investering te bespreken.)
