PEMBAHASAN

Past continuous tense adalah kalimat yang digunakan apabila menyebut peristiwa yang telah terjadi di masa lalu dengan keterangan waktu yang jelas. Biasanya terdapat kata "while," atau "when."

pola kalimat:

(+) s + was/were + verb-ing

(-) s + was/were + not + verb-ing

(?) was/were + s + verb-ing + ?

Sedangkan simple past tense digunakan saat menyatakan hal yang telah terjadi dan berakhir di masa lalu tanpa keterangan waktu mutlak.

pola kalimat:

(+) s + verb 2 + O/C

(-) s + did + not + verb 1 + O/C

(?) did + s + verb 1 + O/C + ?

Jika menyebut dua peristiwa masa lalu dalam satu kalimat, maka menggunakan past continuousdanpast simple.

contoh:

They were studying while their parent had a meeting.

• Mereka sedang belajar saat orangtua mereka sedang mengadakan pertemuan.

Kalimat di atas menyebut lebih dari satu peristiwa masa lalu, yakni "Mereka sedang belajar," dan "Orangtua mereka sedang mengadakan pertemuan."

Maka, dua kalimat past simpledanpast continuousdigabung dengan menggunakan konjungsiwhile (saat).
