گذشته استمراری یا past continuous به کاری اشاره می کنه که در گذشته انجام شده و استمرار داشته. مثلا
من دیروز از ساعت 3 تا 4 فوتبال بازی می کردم.
من پارسال هر روز باشگاه میرفتم.
آنها وقتی بچه بودند هر هفته به استخر می رفتند.
تمام این جملاتی که میبینید در گذشته انجام شدن و استمرار داشتند.
حالا ساختار این جملات چه طوریه؟ برای این جملات باید اول فاعل رو بنویسیم، بعد گذشته فعل to be مناسب اون فاعل، بعد فعل دارای ing و بقیه جمله.
فاعل + فعل to be + فعل اصلی دارای ing + ادامه جمله
به این مثال ها دقت کنید:
I was playing soccer.
من در حال فوتبال بازی کردن بودم.
He was playing soccer.
او(پسر) در حال فوتبال بازی کردن بود.
She was playing soccer.
او(دختر) در حال فوتبال بازی کردن بود.
It was playing soccer.
آن در حال فوتبال بازی کردن بود.
You were playing soccer.
شما در حال فوتبال بازی کردن بودید.
We were playing soccer.
ما در حال فوتبال بازی کردن بودیم.
They were playing soccer.
آن ها در حاب فوتبال بازی کردن بودند.
توجه داشته باشید که در اینجا فقط فعل to be به گذشته تبدیل میشه و فعل اصلی فقط ing میگیره. فعل to be هم بر طبق فاعل میتونه was یا were باشه اما فعل اصلی برای تمام صفات مشابه است.
برای منفی کردن جملات بالا فقط باید not رو به فعل to be اضافه کرد.
I was not/ wasn't playing soccer.
He was not/ wasn't playing soccer.
She was not/ wasn't playing soccer.
It was not/ wasn't playing soccer.
You were not/ weren't playing soccer.
We were not/ weren't playing soccer.
They were not/ weren't playing soccer.
برای سوالی کردن هم فقط باید جای فعل to be رو با فاعل عوض کرد.
I was playing soccer.
Was I playing soccer?
Yes, I was./ No, I wasn't.
He was playing soccer.
Was he playing soccer?
Yes, he was./ No, he wasn't.
She was playing soccer.

Yes, she was./ No, she wasn't.
It was playing soccer.
